Playing this for the first time was a bit annoying. Rats move super fast, and something is wrong with the gun or the aiming. I finished the game after reading that you can use right click to hit the rats and E to close the poison vents, which also restores your health. The boss, which looks cool and scary, was super easy to kill because you can stand on the ramp and shoot him without being attacked. The graphics, music and sound effects give a chilling mood to the experience, which was great for an adventure jam entry.
It is astonishing what you guys have done in 5 days, but the game has some things that can be fixed and improved: the aiming, the UI, the use of the leaping ability, the movement of the rats and their spawning rate, the invisible walls, among others.

I'm also in the jam, so I'll appreciate if you review my entry Short-term Battery: https://gamejolt.com/games/short-term-battery/340825
I tried to play this, but either I've gotten really terrible with my aim since my young days of playing Quake deathmatches, or the gun in this game is super clunky. The tiny critters are nearly impossible to get off your back once they start swarming (which they do pretty much right off the bat), and I couldn't get jump or the acid spray to work. I gave it a few whirls but I could never get past the first tunnel.
Neat game! I included it in my Adventure Jam 2018 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. https://youtu.be/CXkQl1wh_Xk
Y'all made this in a week?! That's incredible! It has flaws, but any of the ones I would mention have already been mentioned twice or so in the comment section, rats too fast, etc, although my aiming seemed fien. Still, in spite of those, this is very impressive given the time frame. I enjoy a simple shooter, and y'all should be proud you made this.
I was a bit surprised as the image basically shows the whole game so It does need some work still. There doesn't seem to be an ending and the gun does not follow the hand and the giant model floats in the sky. Is this just a concept idea at the moment with no objective?
