SPOTLIGHT
Sewer Rats – Funding Goal: $28,000
Mark Moroz
If Shadow of the Colossus had a baby with Steam Boat Willie, you would get Sewer Rats. This 3D action-adventure title is all about defeating humongous bosses using cues from the environment. You play as a gypsy orphan exploring the streets of a metropolis, just looking to have a little fun.Your primary weapon is a comedically over-sized monkey wrench, obviously designed for senseless beatings. The classic cartoon violence is molded after classics ranging from Popeye to Ren and Stimpy. Though, the game is built on far more than stupid shock value. Bosses require a good deal of strategy in order to dismantle their defenses and bring them to their knees.
Mark Moroz is seeking $28,000 to successfully fund Sewer Rats by Dec. 30.The game is slated for release on PC and Mac.
