Down the Rat Hole is an ever-descending digging platformer with dialogue-based combat. Help Ratto to navigate deeper and deeper into a hazardous cavern and through the dark twists and turns of their wounded psyche.
Controls: - WASD for movement - Q and E to dig - Space to jump - Mouse to choose dialogue options - Gamepad + mouse also supported!
I liked the experience quite a bit! This is a pretty interesting game to try out, though I did end up getting oddly stuck while moving around (moving around a little bit easily fixed it), mainly when digging around two blocks.
Pretty neat little game, very little to go on, other than dig. No way to avoid traps sometimes, or defend yourself, just "oh here is damage if you're wrong". Pretty good little play though. Also your dialogue combat is interesting, but it's unclear how Ratto is supposed be as a character other than I want to get out. Your description says twitsed psyche, but the game plays straightforward like a "this is a physical challenge" Great work nonetheless.
Your own voice for the music? Creepy but fits the mood. I'm not sure where the dialog is. Perhaps i didn't go deep enough. Found the spikes super annoying and unable to avoid.
This was a interesting little game. I really like the music, which gave it a sort of odd atmosphere, and the dialog was very funny at times, sometimes a little dark. I thought it was pretty fun to run around and do rat things and try to find your way to the next "level".
It was very easy to get stuck later on in the game, but the game isn't very hard so it's not that big of a deal to restart.
