What it is
A short 2D platformer made for a teenage game jam. You play as Ratthew, a cheese-loving rat who has become so dense that he can slide and shift gravity, and must make a mad dash to the sewer grate.
From the developer
In the developer’s own words, from just-kidding102.itch.io.
Ratthew the rat, in his undying love for cheese, has consumed so much, and has become so dense, that he no longer obeys the laws of physics! Naturally, he must go on a run to burn off the calories.
Slide, shift gravity, and make a mad dash to the sewer grate in as little time as possible!
Made in 3 days for the Jame Gam Game Jam (for teenagers) by Just_Kidding102 and EleventhAttic34. We hope you enjoy!

Editor takes
“The pixel art and credited soundtrack give Ratthew a charming retro sheen, even if the palette doesn't stretch far beyond cheese-and-sewer browns.”
“Sliding and gravity-shifting have a snappy feel that makes the mad dash to the grate satisfying, but the bite-sized levels left me wanting more route depth.”
“A heck of a 3-day jam package: silly premise, clear goal, and polished Godot execution that rightly landed it 3rd out of 231 entries.”
“It's a lean time-attack loop with no upgrade curve to speak of, so the long-term hook is purely shaving seconds off your own best run.”
How to play
Run through each level, using slides and gravity shifts to get past obstacles. The goal is to reach the sewer grate as quickly as possible.
Tips
- Keep your momentum going; stopping makes speed runs harder.
- Use gravity shifts to reach surfaces you can't get to with a normal jump.
- Watch for gaps or low ceilings when sliding, and time your shifts carefully.
- Try different routes, then stick with the fastest one for your best time.
- Replay levels to learn the layout and shave seconds off the clock.
