SaxPython: 
  mtvcdm: Actually no, replace it all with paper football. The one where you flick paper balls with your finger.
Invitare: Heather has a streak going
SaxPython:

 SkylerRingtail: Oh this game is gonna get confusing quickly
 TehAmelie: maybe when we hit a constant flow of motion Erasure will kick in. . .
  mtvcdm: After the opening conversation we had this is the game we deserve
  mtvcdm: That's called falling. Dropping while in the air is called falling. That is gravity.
 PharaohBender27: But it's so colorful and happy!
gameslayer013: oh god the half tones!
SaxPython: #FightYourDreams
Invitare: oh it's a Homing Attack
SaxPython: is this a Persona?
Invitare: this is rhythm Sonic
  mtvcdm: These are the days I live for at LRR, when we stumble upon a game that's just a goddamned fever dream.
SaxPython: pffff
Jethrain: oh the timer flashing every beat is *very* stressful
 DiscordianTokkan: "To date GOD"
 CururuGuasu: CongRATulations!
Invitare: Revenge, like cheese, is a dish best served col
  mtvcdm: Rat God, who did you think you were reviving
 CururuGuasu: I wonder if this conversation is different if you picked different choices at the start
SaxPython:   
  mtvcdm: @CururuGuasu I mean the game is called Mad Rat Dead, we were always getting here
aitsu100: wow
adept_nekomancer: Victim blaming much?
 James_the_Dabbler: That's racist
unleashenlightenment: victim blaming the game
 James_the_Dabbler: Like full on
 PharaohBender27: Turns out rat god's a Calvinist, oh no
 James_the_Dabbler: What the heck is this
SaxPython: Now we Majora's Maks
SaxPython: lol
 TehAmelie: with the power of the sacred heart of Rat Jesus (?)
  mtvcdm: Remember kids, the best pills are the ones you find on the floor
 TehAmelie: such tiny boxes
 PMAvers: Ah, so our heart is a MP3 player, too.
 CururuGuasu: Only in Detroit
  mtvcdm: Nachos look to be added time
 TehAmelie: what chemicals are in those nachos, neon?
SaxPython: bruh, open your mail
 CururuGuasu: So many heart teeth
  mtvcdm: Yeah, so each of the triangles looks to add back one second apiece.
  mtvcdm: You want them but you also don't want to go back for them.
  Juliamon: ohhh the thing *behind* you
 TehAmelie: oh no, Ian has gone Frink
 noSmokeFire: looks like you don't get time back when you rewind
  mtvcdm: I think we're doing this again
SaxPython: If Mario flagpoles have taught me anything, that felt close to the end
  Juliamon: You can also toggle off the timer if you just want to progress
 gualdhar: I like how Heather and Ian are both headbanging
  Juliamon: It's a good rhythm.
  Juliamon: Jury's out on the game part though.
 a_Weakling: who is piloting?
 TehAmelie: gettin in the groove surely helps with playing too
SaxPython: #Stealth
 TehAmelie: to keep moving on the beat is much more important than doing the right movie, it seems. so like dancing
 PharaohBender27: 
  Juliamon: It's doing something different, so props for that
 James_the_Dabbler: This definitely feels like Rhythm Sonic. I liked that analogy
  Juliamon: It's a less-forgiving sidescrolling Hifi Rush
rabbitgta: There are 2 gods inside you
 James_the_Dabbler: One is a rat, the other is a heart
 PharaohBender27: 
 James_the_Dabbler: Uh
 TheAinMAP: 
SaxPython: Is anyone else getting "Kill you God" vibes
 James_the_Dabbler: I thought this was Rhythm Cafe not Let's Nope
 CururuGuasu: Extra extra spicy
 jessieimproved: Is it in..you? Is it in...you?
rabbitgta: Might be, shrugs
 TehAmelie: i imagine Rat is more into Powerthirst
SaxPython: @TehAmelie That is a name I haven't heard in some time
 TehAmelie: i almost said Brawndo too
SaxPython: Bad Cactus!
 TehAmelie: almost getting crushed by books at every step, this is a realistic rat simulator
SaxPython: I feel like playframe would have a field day with this
SaxPython: Heart is giving me Ms. Minutes energy
 CururuGuasu: Rat gang!
 TehAmelie: a rat can eat every part of a human except maybe the teeth. i like our chances
 jessieimproved: Mob like "the mob" or mob like a Minecraft mob?
  Juliamon: Like an angry mob 
 TehAmelie: there was an experiment showing rats are happier and stop doing drugs if they're in a mob
 TehAmelie: true story. except they didn't use the word "mob"
 PharaohBender27: 
 SquareDotCube: the 1984 method
 PMAvers: I'm reminded of a Existential Comics from the other day. https://existentialcomics.com/comic/538

  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, redsaint_uk! (Today's storm count: 25)
 TehAmelie: i imagine it's a lot like brown acid
SaxPython: @cheshire_creeper Gameplay is pretty good.  Plot is wild.
silenceaux: So it's a rhythm game, but there's still a lot of execution required
 SquareDotCube: x and b 
josukex: BEES!
 TehAmelie: is this where we find out what happens if you run out of time? 
  mtvcdm: @TehAmelie Oh we already found that out
  mtvcdm: Now hear me out... perhaps this is what we get for trying to fool with time travel.
 TehAmelie: woo
josukex: Boss fight!
 TehAmelie: judging by their eyes, the rats are very high
lejoriander: hi all 
 TehAmelie: ahoy
SaxPython: 
 PMAvers: Juice gives pleasure, pleasure feels good, feel good all the time!

 PharaohBender27: Um
 gualdhar: I think the video feed is messed up
 gualdhar: oh, that's why
 PMAvers: Oh no, are we going to use these guys as platfoorms?
SaxPython: Mother Brain? Metroid?
 CururuGuasu: Pinky and the Brain?
  mtvcdm: I want to meet the dev and ask them if they're feeling okay
 NorthstarTex: I came in during some very nice wubs
 CururuGuasu: interesting.  Your combo doesn’t drop while standing still
 PMAvers: I mean, it *is* published by NIS, I was wondering when the body horror was going to show up.
SaxPython: oh man, the fakeout
Mathwyn: A whole lot of madness, rats, and death. Games works as advertised!
 Bionull: Surely there aren't still 5 minutes of this
 Bionull: You know, it's not good for their health to keep this many rats in one cage
akwehhkanoo: i'm pretty sure they don't care about the rats health, if they're sticking pins in their brains

 Bionull: We have the power of anime god on our side
silenceaux: @PMAvers we might NOT have the plague
 Bionull: None of that fake dorito crunch
 LostThePirate: Sounds more like a bite off an apple to me
 couchboyj: Guacamole doritos
  mtvcdm: Oh I don't like any of this
 TheMerricat: I'm a bit worried about a sewer with such strong .. tides? in it. it implies either it's hooked directly into a body of water with no filtering or .... everyone in this world flushes on a rhythm.
 TehAmelie: neon doritos. . .wait now i want there to be neon doritos
  mtvcdm: https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/doritos-mountain-dew-chips-1585575352.jpg Lucky you then
 TehAmelie: they don't look very glowy
  mtvcdm: This game has ideas but I think the execution could use some improvement.
  mtvcdm: HOW DID WE LIVE
SaxPython:   
Krillin_fan: wooo!
 Veraphage: 
  Juliamon:     
josukex: CHEEESE!
 PharaohBender27: https://clips.twitch.tv/LaconicCuteKleePunchTrees-voeYVGN_aLHebWS_
akwehhkanoo: i personally think the best rhythm platforming is the music level in rayman Legends, but I haven't played too many like this
  mtvcdm: We could use a content or two in the options
  mtvcdm: That's probably most of the mystery ones, clearing each level on S+.
  Juliamon: Checkpoint trophies

 TheMerricat: Tell Paul has the same foreboding feeling as Tell Dale, but without the fun bits before. 
 Phailhammer: cya 
  Juliamon: Tell Paul (threatening)
SaxPython: Juliamon, your point was definitely valid.  I had a music theory professor tell me music is "organized noise".  Ian was definitely making noise.
SaxPython: organization was an exercise left to the listener
