I bought and would have loved to try this game, but I seem to be among those that have a bunch of glitches. Even after I turn off the wifi the hammer doesn't spawn more than half the time. And even if it does the newscaster dude instantly recalls me to the elevator. Then half the time the ELEVATORS closed it's doors so I can't even do that!
What great use of changing camera and perspective. A short game, but a very good one. Can get disorienting with all of the camera changes, so warning if you are sensitive to that.
Without exaggeration, one of the best games I have played. Story telling through subtle clues in world was on point, and the writing especially in the end was incredible. Absolutely a must play.
i dont know why but every 5 min it crashes the thired time it happened i looked in to the settings and even while i was looking at the settings it crashed dose any one know why
I've found a bug in the Linux build. While Level 3 (upside-down) only spawns 5 objects, the counter displays 10 and thus the level can never be completed.
This has to be one of my favorite games to date. The story was so intriguing and I didn't see the end coming. Had a lot of fun playing this. Great Job! Game starts at 00:00
Just uploaded this to my channel.. this game is so much fun! I was confused at first but figured it out fairly quick. The gameplay itself is really smooth and fun and I even love the cutscenes. I highly recommend trying it out!
Here is my video if you're interested in watching!
getting crashes really early on, before any cutscene or anything, usually just after smashing something. On a HP Spectre x360 14, which has a modern intel processor, so that shouldn't be causing it.
Uhm, I've encountered a strange bug! I've seen a video on the first level, and when I tried to play the game, the cutscene of the news anchor telling you to go back to the elevator starts just as I enter the first room! Has anyone encountered this bug too? I'm really interested in this game, so please let me know!
This issue is caused by the device you are using being below the Unreal Engine 4's minimum system requirements. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do.
I'm trying to play this game, but it keeps quitting itself after approximately two minutes of play time. I've tried downloading the pure ZIPs and extracting them, and I've also tried downloading and playing through the Itch desktop app, but it happens constantly. My computer should be new enough to play it, but it doesn't seem to want to go. :(
Messed with the timer a little bit: the game quits after 1 minute. It doesn't matter if I am only in the main menu or in the game.
UPDATE: Adding folder/binary to the antivirus exception list didn't help. I use Windows Defender (Windows 11) if it helps.
UPDATE2: Just run exe through MSVS debugger. And got this: "Exception thrown at 0x00007FF74D960E63 in PerfectVermin-Win64-Shipping.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF." That's definitely some strange location to read from. Hope that helps too.
I too was lead here by Jacob Geller! Watched part of his video and had to play it myself.
*SPOILERSSPOILERSPOILERS* Simple yet haunting, the monologue at the end reveals so much about who we are and why we're here. Just a doctor clumsily charging about with only a sledgehammer for a tool, fighting a desperate race. *SPOILERSSPOILERSPOILERSs*
Love the creativity with the UI and storytelling. Fantastic work!

Amazing game, pretty fun but a little short. Makes up for it in the challenge aspect :)

Brother, you must let me try on your system. Mine hast failed me to eternal hammer-less-ness or return to elevators that never open
Damn man. I'll get you the hookup.

Honestly i loved playing the game and the ending really pulled the entire game together.
Rough ending :( awesome game, and destruction physics though!

I tried playing it for the first time but it told me to return to the elevator to try again? I put the settings on low but it keeps crashing
Your computer itself is below the Unreal Engine 4's minimum system requirements. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done.
I read in the comments that turning off the WiFi helped, and it worked! It has some weird bugs tho
he really does be sounding like a pug
i dont know why but every 5 min it crashes the thired time it happened i looked in to the settings and even while i was looking at the settings it crashed dose any one know why
I thought this game is all about smashing things. I wasn't ready for the end which was very cool. Really fascinating game.
Come for the smashing, stay for the surprisingly sad allegory to a certain disease.
very cool. very very cool.
I love that you gave time in the beginning to smash things! As the game progressed it got even better! Awesome game :)
How did this slip past my radar for so long lol. Quality, rage-reduction game
keeps randomly crashing.
it crashes for me too :( it seems like a very interesting game though i wish i could play it
i got softlocked :(
this game is incredibly cool, love both gameplay and story :)
I've found a bug in the Linux build. While Level 3 (upside-down) only spawns 5 objects, the counter displays 10 and thus the level can never be completed.
I played the linux version and i made it all the way through
There are 2 different camera, each has 5
I certainly did not expect it to go this way. Great game though :)
this game is a masterpiece of desing
I can't get past smashing a few things before the game crashes. Does anyone else have this problem?
Same with me
Turning my wifi off worked
same for me, thanks for the tip
Same. Weird. Thanks
Superb game. Graphics are great. Gameplay is fun as f$@k. Super story.

For me, Perfect Vermin is a game design gift that was given to me and that I enjoyed with pleasure.
A well-built level design with a well-used game mechanic. A dark and uncomfortable atmosphere that made me hate the vermin I killed to the last.
Well done to the team.
Absolutely loved the game and it's pixel art. I didn't expect it to go deeper than smashing stuff honestly.
Btw, is there any way to beat the last level? Does anything happen if you beat it?
Really atmospheric game.

Just loving this game! Here's the full playthrough of this game!
wow. This game is awesome and that ending twist was the icing on the cake!

I have encountered this on my first playthrough too
me too
have you found a fix for this bug, or anything else?
I had this happen to me too, but going back to the main menu and hitting play again fixed it for me.

Are there multiple endings, or just one?
Hi!
I'm trying to play this game, but it keeps quitting itself after approximately two minutes of play time.

Got the same problem.
Messed with the timer a little bit: the game quits after 1 minute. It doesn't matter if I am only in the main menu or in the game.

i got the exact same problem! if you ever get a resolution id be so happy to hear it too apftp
Same issue here cannot complete the game.
same problem here :( hoping there's a fix somewhere!
same here. :( really wanted to play this after the Jacob Geller video
Some players have found that totally disconnecting from the internet before playing prevents this issue. We are currently investigating as to why.
