About the Game

Ultimate 2D Shooter

A rat with an assault rifle? How about a rat with TWENTY guns — including shotguns, energy weapons, grenade launchers, an overpowered harpoon gun, and more.

Epic Spells and Perks

Guns not enough? That’s fair. That’s why GAT RAT can also wield elemental spells and game-changing perks that completely transform your playstyle into something wild and overpowered.

Immersive Pixel Worlds

Shoot your way through 9 vastly different realms, each packed with multiple levels, unique enemies, and intense boss fights — all rendered in beautiful pixel art, just waiting to be destroyed.

GAT RAT Features:

  • 20 guns, each with their own feel and strategy

  • 8 unique spells to excel in different scenarios

  • 15 perks to turn GAT RAT into the ultimate shooter. (Or spellcaster. Or brick wall.)

  • Collect loot from slain enemies, and return to your hideout to upgrade your gear and abilities.

  • 9 vastly different realms, each with multiple levels of their own, complete with a massive variety of enemies.

  • Unique boss fights that each require their own strategy to beat.

  • Beautiful, immersive pixel art for every world and enemy.

  • Leaderboards for fastest boss clears and lifetime collected loot — build the best loadout and show everyone who the greatest is.
