Also, tons of stuff will display a tooltip if you hover the mouse above them.You lose by running out of rats.You can beat the game in various ways. Win by playing in your own way!

　　After millenia of being a side character in the story of Earth, being called vermin many times, rats now stand a chance to change the course of the world...

　　Will they befriend the humans? Conquer the entire planet? Or perhaps something else...?

　　How will YOU lead them to a better future?

　　Made for the Pirate Jam 14, in roughly two weeks.

　　The theme was "It's Spreading". The idea we had was of a 4X game where you lead a rat colony to a new era. After all, rats spread lots of stuff, from diseases to themselves. We focused on the latter, of course!

　　Opposed to the last game we made, this one had lots of feature creep. Still, somehow I managed to finish it. Sadly, I had to solo develop it. Code, sprites, audio, UI, testing, etc. Sucraiso helped with the idea and QA (specially the latter) though, so I'm including him on the submission for the jam.

　　As always, feedback is very welcome!
