Finished this while the power was out for nearly 24 hours; managing to beat the final boss with barely 5% battery left was so satisfying.

Mad Rat Dead is one hell of a game. The controls are snappy and (mostly) responsive, the art direction is both cute and unnerving, and the story is shockingly heartfelt. I found myself really connecting with its themes.

This is also one of the greatest video game soundtracks ever made, you cannot tell me otherwise. Catch me two-stepping to MAD RAT, ALIVE.
