Mad Rat Dead is the first piece of media I loved so much that I went on to make my own stories and art :) it holds a special place in my heart and I want more people to experience it and maybe grow the modding community! It's a rhythm game with interesting mechanics so there's plenty of room to experiment :)
I'll admit I haven't finished this game yet, but it's really unique. The music is really catchy and the art is absolutely great, and the writing can be really funny at times. I'm honestly shocked there isn't a PC version of this game!

The Music was all it took to make me want to play it. When i started to play it, it was one of the most unique gameplay experiences i ever had, each level felt unique and fun especially because of the amazing OST, the combination of rythem and platforming was really well done but two thing that made love the game so much is the artstyle and story, i never was so emotional at a story for awhile. I hope that more people get to experience Mad Rat Dead and more cool stuff comes from it.

I LOVE THIS GAME I CRIED EVERYTIME I PLAYED IT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ITS WORTH IT It's story is so powerful and is protrayed so well imo I also met a bunch of my friends through this game so it holds a special place in my heart SO YEAH PLEASEEEEEEEEEE
This game is downright beautiful- from the music, to the art, to the message. The gameplay is enjoyable and the game can be replayed pretty much forever with all the song/level combos you can make. The games message genuinely made me face the hard truth of mortality, and made me feel more at peace with it. This game is a wonderful experience, and I always recommend it to people I meet. Mad Rat Dead is one of the first games I felt compelled to buy a physical copy of (multiple, in fact) and I’m proud to have it displayed. This game is truly wonderful.

I remember idly listening to the games soundtrack as i was playing with friends, and eventually being unable to focus on what i was doing because i was bopping so hard. I decided to buy the game immediately without so much as watching a trailer. I was Not disappointed. For me, the music is more of what i have memories with. I'd tuck my switch into my hoodie pocket on the bus and blindly tap the beat to whatever song I was listening to because it felt good.
