A downloadable game for Windows

About the Game:

This game was created in roughly 48 hours for Chillennium 2024. Incredibly rushed because I spent most of Saturday doing nothing. The main gimmick is getting hit causing you to lose your grip instead of dealing damage, and also weapon mixing I guess.

Won "Best in Game Design" in Chillennium 2024!

The Story:

The moon is made of cheese, and as a rat, there's nothing you love more than cheese. Using your trusty balloon, you ascend into the stratosphere. But watch out! The Bird King doesn't take too kindly to lowly mammals intruding on his domain.  Arm yourself to keep the drones at bay.

The Controls:

  • 'A' and 'D' to move
  • 'Space' to ascend
  • 'S' + 'Space' to hover in place
  • Use your mouse cursor to aim
  • Left Click to shoot
  • 'R' to restart the game after falling
