KEY FEATURES:

• Brutal 2D Shooting Action: Engage in brutal, fast-paced, strategic battles against hordes of enemies. (Did I say brutal enough yet?)
• Roguelike Progression: Fight through each district and try to reach the TechnoRat HQ and shut them down permanently. On death, spend your hard earned CHz to upgrade your attributes to do better!
• Recruit Troops: Going in alone is sure to lead to failure. Make sure you utilize your troops effectively or it's GG. Call in reinforcements at key times to turn the tide of battle in your favour.
• Buy New Weapons and Gear: Earn credits (CHz) and upgrade at the shop (rat dealer) to give yourself an edge over the endless hordes that are only going to get stronger and stranger as you get closer to TechnoRat HQ.
• Defend Your Base: Build turrets, shrines, walls, resource generators and missile launchers to counter and overwhelm the armies of TechnoRat.
• Customizable Difficulty: Set your friendly fire options and choose between 3 different levels of difficulty and 2 starting weapons.
• Rats Nest: A customizable level that serves as your base of operations. Access different rooms and game modes here as well as hang out with some of your rat friends.
• New Game +: Not just "the campaign again but with a few tweaks", it's a lightly procedurally generated run that will never be exactly the same twice. Keep your progression and increase the challenge each time you beat it.
• Horde Mode: Defend your base against endless waves of enemies that get more numerous and stronger as it goes on. The tide comes at you from both sides in this mode, and you have only defensive units to try and hold out!
• Iron Rat Mode: If you like a challenge, enable this toggle to turn your run even more hardcore! Start over at level 1 again if you die, but keep the core gameplay loop of upgrading with whatever you earned during that run.
• Unique Art Style: Experience the world of Ratopia with graphics all hand-drawn by rat artist wootusart (Me!). (Meaning I am an artist who draws rats, not that I am a rat that is an artist. That would be crazy.)
• Customize Your Ratty: Over 880 different combinations of skin components to try out so you can slay in style!
• Skirmish Mode: Select any map and choose what enemies to face and just go at it, for practice or for fun. Or both!

The rats have whispered to me in the night that I must make this game. They demand it. I must obey. They scurry in my mind. I cannot sleep. I cannot rest. Until it is done.
