Serious Fizzness dev here, I want you to know that it's officially cannon in the Serious Fizzness universe that if you go backwards in the sewer this is where you end up.

it's official then 🤝

Very nice game! Great art, music and atmosphere, plus there's humor, loved it!

this was a lot of fun!! please make more like this

MAN. This was freaking AWESOME. ART. Loved it, one of my fav experiences on itch. Great success, well done. Also, the end scene kind of reminds me of the cover of this album 'Rat Taxi' by Louie Zong:

We were listening to that while making the game XD. Crazy good album.

Eyyy yooo!! 🤩 Agreed, great album, v funky. So pleased I got the reference albeit indirectly. 
I really do love the game you made. Transported me right there in that full-screen world. Reminded me of how old games like Grim Fandango and Little Big Adventure used to draw me right in. And I love the halftone pixel rendering style and all the smog. Because the world is 3D, I think you may have even got away with some gentle camera movements to show off the 3D coolness. Do you think you may do more with the game?

It would be cool to explore it a bit further, but we will see :D

The whole village played. Everyone loved it.

In this world, you're either a pipe, a rat, or a fat joint.

A Noir drama mixed with wonderful storytelling and exceptional worldbuilding - truly great experience!

The game doesn't really take itself seriously, rather ask the players to be immersed in this world of filth and rat gossip. I loved the design of the city scape, the main character, the overall plot and I genuinely felt like this was going to be an hour long movie - wish it was. Highly recommend this. 

Best of luck with the future games and truly a classy development team!
