Jogo incrível pelo preço, e ver criadores de jogos do BR com bons projetos sempre é muito legal!

It's good fun! The game's got classic survivors-like elements with skills and synergies, multiple characters (with some options leaning towards different builds), and, of course, rats. You can get pretty powerful, but the game won't tolerate you for too long after the formal "win" wave. Kind of wish you could disable pausing on window focus loss as by the late waves you often have your build sufficiently figured out that you can stand still and have the projectiles/effects do the work. Edit: the update added an option to have the game work out-of-focus so I have no further complaints at this time.

Moon is full of cheese. Rat wants cheese. Rat takes rocket to moon to get cheese. This is basically the premise of Rocket Rats, a silly little bullet heaven game about rats that raid the moon for cheese. The game does not offer a lot of content, I played for around 3 hours and I saw most of the game. But the game is incredibly fun and for the low price it's acceptable. The gameplay is simple, you have to fight through 30 waves of enemies and collect as much cheese as you can get. Killing enemies gives you cheese and every time you get enough cheese, you can select a new upgrade for your rat. What this game makes different however is that you only get one upgrade per wave, so you have to think carefully what you take. The upgrades can be further upgraded up to seven times and the last few upgrades are really powerful, so it's better to invest in specific upgrades instead of relying on everything at once. You also have a low chance to get rare upgrades which don't have their own upgrades but are so powerful, they don't need it. Some upgrades, once maxed, will also offer you a duo upgrade, like arrows and poison creating poisoned arrows or stars casting lightning on enemies if you have both. What really makes this game different to other bullet heaven game are the skill trees. Each character has their own unique skill tree and these skill trees even have their own different playstyles. The Doctor Rat for example can either opt into a poison playstyle or a curse playstyle depending on how you spec into the skill tree. These upgrade trees persist between runs and make the characters much more unique than other titles in the genre. That being said, the game leans on the easier side, there are no difficulty settings and once you have unlocked a few skills for your characters you can easily beat the game. This is even more emphasized through the lack of content. There is only one very small map which changes visuallys depending on the character you play but still the same map. There are only three enemy types, stars that move fast but have low health, planets that have very high health but are slow and moons that are inbetween. While there is a good amount of upgrades, it still feels very similiar for your runs and the main difference comes from the character skill tree, not the run upgrades. It isn't a bad game, it's super fum, it just offers very little content. You have to decide for yourself if you want to pick this up, especially if you have other games like Brotato or Vampire Survivors that offer more content for the same price. Also, as a final feedback, the game has very poor optimization, once you get past wave 25, you start to notice frame drops and lag and this gets worse once you reach endless.

Great horde-survivor game, been waiting for it! The graphics and the pixel art are on point My issues: lacks content (which is understandable since the game JUST came out), i've been able to unlock everything with 3.5 hrs playtime and the enemy models/sprites are getting boring after a bit since they're only 3. Im not leaving a negative review because the game is new and im sure the devs are gonna put more on it for sure! p.s. VERY FUN GAME!

One of the simpler survivor-like games. There's something really charming about it. The cute pixel art. The chill music. I fell in love with the demo and eagerly waited for the full version. It sure didn't disappoint.
