A small, defenseless rat in a maze.
It has a collar. You have control.
You guide it step by step, but you don’t see the whole picture.
You are being guided too… but to where?

I wanted to add a snake 🙂 Maybe later. I have some ideas on how to expand the game, but to be honest, I’m not sure I’ll continue working on it
The narrative is great. Keep up your passions.
I loved the concept of only seeing a few angles, and trying to figure out which camera was where in the maze, and figuring out the rest from that limited information.
Amazing concept and execution!
Оч понравилось разбираться в том, как там камеры разложены. Что мышонку надо команды давать относительно него самого.
Озвучка во время радио-переговоров: "Крысы-крысы!" топчик!) Ну и отсылка про "своих" разрывная
Классно получилось
Nice game!
@Sariiger Thanks glad that you appreciated it
@juanrod707 Thanks, that was the idea 🙃
@skeyven Хе хе скавен оставил отзыв на крысу, на сама деле озвучка переговоров даже чуть более заморочена чем можно подумать, если кто нибудь догадается откуда я нарезал сэмплов, надо будет ему какой-нибудь приз придумать
@peterlebagarreur Yeah, good question, why didn’t I add that? 🤔🤔🤔 Thanks for the feedback!
Cool game!
Thanks for the kind feedback, it’s really nice to receive it
As for the amount of content, I tried to make the game feel complete, and I only had three days. Maybe I’ll expand it in the future. I have some ideas for new mazes and other puzzles
I beg you on my knees: please, more mazes!!!!
Thank you very much for the feedback. Sorry I didn’t reply right away, I got a little sick. Maybe someday I actually will continue developing the game, but at least first I need to finish Fool’s Trigger.
@allax I didn’t really understand what you mean. You can’t press the button until the mouse reaches the point. And when you press the direction selection button, the mouse runs there and looks by itself. That’s why you need the TVs that show it.
So, I guess 181th place is good? I don’t know, what do you think?
Also, if anyone here isn’t too lazy, leave some kind of comment on the game’s Itch page. I honestly don’t know whether Itch promotes games based on comments, but...
