DELIVER THOSE RATS!


A game where you play as a alchemist assassin, who delivers plagued rats to unsuspecting targets.

The rats you acquire will have various stats, giving them extra proficiency in certain environments and scenarios.

Deliver a rat with sufficient properties to take out your target, and your clients will pay kindly in return!

Admittedly, it's a little barebones and is in more of a "freeplay" state right now, but I think it gets the concept across well enough.

-- NOTES --


May 1st

As of 3 hours after the Compo period, I had to drop a version fixing a major crash. This version had no features added, just the bug fix. The unfixed version is still listed on the itch.io page.

May 9th

I have released yet another version fixing some more crashes. No content was added, but this is still listed separately as the "More Fixes" version. Please do continue to report any issues encountered!

This version is also used for the new browser port. The browser may have some graphical issues and be generally less stable than the downloads. I would encourage downloading the game if you have any major issues.

-- CREDITS --


BGM is Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement (public domain, of course); but as a short-looping 8-bit arrangement made by me during the Compo. I got mixed answers on if public domain music is allowed for Compo submissions, so until further confirmation I've opted out of being rated in Audio.

Font is Arial, just downscaled with no anti-aliasing.

All other assets/programming made by me during the Compo period using the following programs:

- GameMaker Studio 1.x (Engine/programming)
- Aseprite (Art)
- Famitracker/Audacity (Audio)
