About Rat Race

✦ AI summary

Rat Race is a time-trial arcade game where you pilot a wheeled can through chaotic sewers delivering packages while racing against the clock. Master precise boost-based controls to navigate obstacle-filled tracks, discover shortcuts, and chase the best times in quick bursts of absurd, frustrating fun inspired by classic arcade driving games.

What do a rat rider, a sewer full of toxic waste, and a ticking timer have in common?

Actually... not much, but we decided that merging it all was a good idea... so here we are.Rat Race is a time-trial arcade where you have to deliver packages. Under the sewers, perfect vehicle control is crucial to survive the chaos around you. Deliver packages underground, discover shortcuts, try to use the obstacles as an advantage and get the best time mark, while everything around you is trying to make you lose control and crash into the walls. 

Mind you, here you do not come to relax: you come to deliver packages, and you are the only rat capable of accepting a job like this, in this economy and this environment. And learning how to control your car (a can with wheels in this case), will be the key to be successful. 

Inspired by classic arcade driving games and the chaotic humor from games centered in producing a little bit of rage bait, Rat Race brings you quick and short gaming sessions, and extremely absurd moments and situtations that will probably end on TikTok, before you can actually process what the hell just happened. 

Yeah, we want to frustrate you a little bit, but in an amusing way. So, CAN you drive the CAN?Navigate obstacle-filled tracks, littered with junk and enemies as you race against the clock to complete your route. Every second counts, and every mistake can end with your rat crashing into a pipe... or help you to go faster if you are lucky. Time's ticking!You will have to forget EVERYTHING that you know about driving games, because here you don't just accelerate by holding down a button. The movement of your car-can is based on boosts, control and good timing. Work hard, play hard! Try your best to beat your own times, learn every route to perfection and become the GOAT of the rat riders. Absurd situations! Shortcuts that seem illegal! Weird physics that seems bugs, but maybe they are not! All is there to give you fast-paced fun and chaotic moments that you might want to share, otherwise no one would believe you when you try to explain what happened.And this sewer is not only filled with toxic waste, it also has graffiti, cultural references and acid humor to create a world that is not trying to be clean, perfect or serious at all. Just like us the developers ;).

✦ AI summary

Rat Race is a brief but polished platformer that players praise for its smooth controls and appealing visuals, though most express disappointment that the experience lasts only around 10 minutes. The magnets are a common complaint, but the core gameplay is enjoyable enough that players hope to see the developers expand on this foundation with longer projects in the future.

Awesome game! It was way too short, but it was a lot of fun. I'd love to see a longer version of this some day.

Short game. Was pretty fun for the... 10-ish minutes I played. Animation and visuals looked great, smooth controls for the most part. Hate the magnets, but like- outside of the literal 10 minutes of gameplay, if that's my only complaint, that's pretty good. Hope this team can continue to grow and make some bangers in the years to come.
