About the Game

EVERY RACE IS DIFFERENT.

This is Rattus VELOCITAS, an arcade racing game where Rats with Jet-powered hoverbikes compete for pole position in procedurally generated race courses! Collect items to give yourself an advantage or take out the competition in this high speed rodent frenzy!

RACE IN VARIOUS ENVIRONMENTS!

5 different environments are available to race in, all with randomised race course layouts, including Desert, Forest, Space Station, The Volcanic Region and a suspiciously race track shaped beach. Some races even happen at different times of day, with varying hazards to watch out for!

COLLECT ITEMS TO BOOST YOUR SPEED OR TAKE OUT THE COMPETITION!

5 different items are obtainable in-race, including Missiles, Bombs, two types of Cheese, Portable Dash Ring projectors and Shields. There's also a 6th mysterious item... Legends say it reacts explosively to shields.

MULTIPLE WAYS TO PLAY!

To begin with, you'll only have a single mode. However, once onboarded to the Rat Race, you'll unlock more ways to start races, including choosing your desired race environment and CPU racer difficulty or even replaying a previous race course random seed! Alpha, Beta and Gamma class thrusters set the speed for your racing experience, with faster thrusters making for more exhilarating races!

FANCY RAT COLOURS AWAIT.

Up to 7 fancy rat colour patterns are selectable to customise your Rat, with additional colour patterns being unlockable with certain milestones!

PLAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS!

This game can be enjoyed on your own or with up to 4 players on a single PC!
With the introduction of the Online mode update, it is now also possible to play with friends across the internet!
