It's cool when some players say 'this reminds me of [insert game name that directly inspired you]' but it's even cooler when they can see the inspiration beyond the games #indiedev #cartoonnetwork I was chuffed when players said Rat Trap reminds them of #PinkyAndTheBrain & #DextersLaboratory

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

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