9 itemsAbout the Game
All systems are go, prepare for liftoff! Rocket Rats is a survivors-like game where you defeat waves of cheesy critters on the moon. You play as one of many rats whose job is to extract cheese for your space base – by blasting them off with guns!
The moon is filled with enemies dead set on attacking you. Luckily for us, they're just what we were looking for! Defeat various cheese-based enemies that come in various waves, but be careful not to be swarmed by them!
To help you defeat the ever-growing horde of enemies, you can get various different upgrades throughout your run. From Star Allies that fire at enemies with you, to Lightning summoning, to Poison debuffs, you'll always have plenty of options to improve your stats based on your preferred playstyle.
The more you play, the more cheese you collect. With it, you can buy permanent upgrades and improve stats through skill trees designed to elevate your character's build. Play as a nerdy rodent, a battered soldier, a mecha-rat, and much more with unlockable characters.
