I love the retro style of the game. Amazing music and sprite-work really gives that stylization.. Also it stars a rat and rats are amazing.

Thank you so much for playing our game 💜 so glad that you liked it!!

I'M THE ROGUE RAT KING.

Fun little crawler.  Liked the music, sprite work, and the boss fight was very fun.  Just the right amount of challenge.  Even 8 directional sprites?! Say whaaaaaat.
Nice job you two.
