[rasterrouser || making 'Rat Trap'! @RasterRouser]

@TeamCherryGames wahoo! congratulations on wrapping up development!! can't wait to see the results of your many years of hard work, i predict a masterpiece

[rasterrouser || making 'Rat Trap'! @RasterRouser]

@rotub @DoggyDontCare Yessss congrats man that's awesome!

[rasterrouser || making 'Rat Trap'! @RasterRouser]

I was heavily inspired by that superb intro sequence in #donkeykong for my demo opening. It's a mini tutorial, cutscene & character portrait blended together perfectly. Good work DK 🍌

The rat may need a bit more flair to compare... 😬

My local library has a huge exhibit dedicated to #untitledgoosegame ! What the honk??

A very pleasant suprise to run into this, what a cool showcase. Feeling validated about all my scribbled dev notebooks 😅

[rasterrouser || making 'Rat Trap'! @RasterRouser]

@RunewardOnline Looks great! But if you're thinking of pivoting, check out "smash bros entrance" animations as there are so many of those and I think this is similar to what you're going for :)

Currently improving the 📷 camera & 📍 map marker system

Now I will be extra heartbroken when players completely ignore this feature

pls tell me that you use map markers in games 😬

@rotub It looks so clean! (in the graphic design sense at least) nice one 🔥

[rasterrouser || making 'Rat Trap'! @RasterRouser]

@TankSpork Haha 'bounce time' give me flashbacks of "chance time" 🎉 Yes I definitely need to be more consisntent!

[rasterrouser || making 'Rat Trap'! @RasterRouser]

Does 'Get Bounce' sound a bit too janky in English? I'm trying to reduce the amount of text shown to the player

Though not as effective as pocket sand, 'pocket rat' can also be useful in a pinch

A 10 yr old player showed me the 'right way' to solve this puzzle and they were over the moon about their discovery... I'm watching like 😬😬😬

hey tysm! 🙏 congrats on your recent launch, I can't wait to play it with my mate over new year! It's gorgeous!

[rasterrouser || making 'Rat Trap'! @RasterRouser]

It's always super interesting to hear how players interpret the inspiration behind your game. PAX players thought the unique abilities & character swapping reminded them of #lostvikings

I haven't played Lost Vikings yet 😬
Best change that soon!
