Game Design Team #2 at Tufts University is excited to announce the launch of their single-player game RATS!! Set in the depths of the sewers, the rat navigates through a series of obstacles and enemies in order to level up and reach the above ground world.
The rat is on a quest for survival, and must forge a path through the sewers in order to successfully escape. RATS!! features an arcade level design, with the rat starting at the bottom level of the sewer and needing to work its way up to the top level of the sewer. During each level, the objective is to avoid the enemies while navigating through the environment in order to reach the next level. The rat must escape flooding waters, dark tunnels, and more.
During the escape, the player controls the rat to jump over obstacles and move left and right to avoid running into enemies. Navigate through the levels and collect the various cheese coins that are scattered throughout the sewers. The rat gets 3 lives for the game. If the rat falls off the platform, a life is gone.
RATS!! is an exciting, unpredictable, and high-stakes game featuring 5 increasingly difficult levels. Download now to play on MAC and Windows. Good luck escaping the sewers alive!
