Project R.A.T.

Run. Aim. Snack.

You are one very determined rat in a nightmare garden. Dodge animal ambushes, fire seeds, and turn a handful of mutations into a ridiculous survival build.

Survive 15 waves. Defeat three bosses. Then choose endless overtime.

Build your rat

• Pinball Rat: bounce seeds off the fence and split your shots.
• Scurry Menace: leave explosive crumbs when you dash.
• Snack Wizard: collect treats to power orbiting seeds.
• Draft upgrades between waves, discover synergies, and shoot fizzy cans for an explosion that can hurt enemies—and you.

Jump straight into the chaos

Demo mode lets you start at any wave from 1–100 with a random, level-appropriate build. Try wave 20 for 22 upgrade picks, full health, and three temporary treats. Retry for a fresh build. Practice runs do not change your personal records.

• Mouse or arrow keys: aim

• F: toggle auto-fire (on by default)
