A downloadable game

Lab Rags is a wacky physics-based puzzle game where failure is meaningful! Use your bodies from previous attempts as pieces of the puzzle as you help yourself reach greater heights and far-away platforms.

Play as our beloved crash test dummy and pass through various levels to test the lab’s fantastic inventions! Turret in your way? Put a body in the trash compactor and now you have a shield! Can’t get to the platform above you? Jump on the trampoline bodies to reach new heights! A spike pit that’s too long and you’re lacking ammo? A sphere body is all you need to roll on the spikes with, without taking damage!

Lose yourself in this 1920’s futuristic art deco world as you wonder how to get past all the shiny and cool obstacles in your way. Shimmering gold and silky-smooth marble pave the walls and floors of these expensive labs. Within, hear the roars of the turrets decimating everything in their path, the ‘whoosh’ of wrecking balls swinging by you as you try to avoid them, the ‘ztztzt’ of the electric flooring that vaporizes all material on it, and the signature sound of the Vacuum Gun, sucking up bodies and making new ones!

“But why?” you ask. Why create this lab and these machines and these obstacles? Well, just like life, humans fail constantly. But we often forget to see the good in failing – it's meaningful. Lab Rags is built on this philosophy – that failure is good. Use your previous knowledge and past experiences to get over the next obstacle. Your past failed attempts literally help you in Lab Rags as your position, manipulate and shoot your bodies to cross, solve and advance!

We at Salt Mine Studios wish you the best and welcome you to our lab. Have fun!

What are the chances that the Decompiled files are released so the community can make custom maps and mod

It is something we are discussing!

I absolutely loved the game! It took some time to get used to the controls, but the concept is really fun! Only two thing I'd like to suggest are to specify that  you have to press a button to respawn and to not have the tutorial dialogues on triggers. Anyways, this is a really great game and I'm excited for the full release :D !

Hiii, I've made a video about the game and wanted to share some feedback about it with you, hopefully it is useful to you :D

-The main concept of the game is interesting.

-The gameplay mechanics are really good, original and well thought as they work really well in relation with the level design.

-Visually the game looks pretty good, and the colours selected for the level design of the levels give the game some extra personality.

In conclusion, the idea is great and I hope you keep working on it. Hopefully this is useful for the development :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)

Regards
