This was a fun way to spend 15 minutes. The long and short of it is that you’re a guy in an empty office building tasked with removing all the ‘vermin’: which i.e mostly comes down to the player smashing everything in sight with a sledgehammer until you find and hit all the objects that bleed. There’s an addictive, kinda addictive arcadey feel, and the constraints that get added onto you as you go through each level add a level of complexity that forces you to think your approach on how you’re going to do a level, which is a neat bit of depth in a game that’s mostly “smash everything in sight.” I do think one later level had a gimmick that could’ve been split into two — especially given one achievement is “beat the game while only smashing vermin” — and the ending has the story take this weird, metaphorical beat which, while it’s interesting in how it contextualizes a lot of the game, I was loosely willing to accept the game on a surface level and didn’t think adding more complexity was particularly needed? Other than that, though, this is a neat 15-minute distraction which iirc is totally free. Check it out! 7/10.
