For those of you still stuck on the rat, YOU CAN AVOID IT ALTOGETHER!! If you did the Llama side story during the first few chapters, you should recall the hermit that you come across several times. If you followed the story correctly, you'll know that the hermit manufactures and distributes cheese from the comfort of his houseless back garden! Although it's not mentioned until much later on, he happens to sell cheese to the rat owner, cyclops panda. I'm sure many of you tried to get into his garden and poison the cheese yourself just to find that it goes into that annoying cutscene ending in inevitable death. All you actually have to do is beat the hermit at chess 3 times in a row, then call him "the cheese rapist" and throw HIS RIGHT bishop chess piece at him, and it must hit him in the top right corner of his iris....

You don't need to refresh the page. To start from the beginning, go to the main menu, and then click "restart", above the "start" button.
If you get all 49 sprite droppings, you get a bit of information about the sequel to this game. Tip: make sure you get all the ones right at the start, before the lights go out.
You should make it so that the variable that keeps track of whether you've died/number of deaths is saved in the save file. Then obviously it needs to be loaded when you load from the checkpoint. At the moment, continuing from the last checkpoint means you get the extra 1000 points. the 1000 points is for not dying once right? If not, then ignore this whole post lol.
What about the bottles further back, that reappear after you respawn? If they add onto the score, then you could keep going back and forth between 2 checkpoints and get a higher score.
