The rats found the barn. All of them. Grab up to three friends, run out among your towers and hold the farm against hordes of thousands: build mid-wave, cable two machines into a fire lane, bowl the survivors to a hungry catfish. Solo, couch or online co-op. Then the kings arrive.

About This Game

BRING THE CREW. THE RATS BROUGHT EVERYONE.

Thousands of rats are coming down every road at once, and the barn is all they want. Grab up to three friends, on the couch or online through Steam, and run out among your towers while they pour in. One farmhand builds. Another gets the fire going. Someone taunts the rats. The taunt does nothing.

FREE DEMO · FRIDAY DECEMBER 4. Four maps, one from each place, full co-op, RAT WARS, and INSANE if you earn it. Wishlist RATS!! and bring a friend, and find us at Steam Next Fest in February 2027.

Two towers. One cable. A road on fire.

Connect a tar-pot to a brazier and the rats' route goes up in flames: FIRE LANE. Cable two ballistas and every shot becomes three: VOLLEY. Stretch a bolt between two teslas and watch the crowd walk into it: ARC WALL. The rest are yours to find.

Fix the defense while it's failing.

Drag a tool from the dock to where you stand, sell what isn't working and rebuild while the rats are still coming. Friends can drop in mid-run, and rejoin if their connection blinks.

The farm fights back.

Bowl rats into the harbor for the catfish, watch sewer grates erupt and send rats sliding onto thin ice. Then the kings arrive: the Rat King leads the flood, the Barge Queen lands at the docks, the Grate King bursts from the sewers and General Frost marches over the ice.

Choose how much trouble you want: vote for a tougher wave to earn a bigger reward, or ring the dinner bell to start the next wave early for a bonus.

RAT WARS

Mail a pack of rats to your rival's farm, then hold off what they send back. Practise against the Barn Bot, then duel a friend online.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

No image, music or voice generators were used. Every visual in the game is drawn in code, and the music and recorded sounds are human-made.

RATS!! is made by a solo developer using AI coding tools, which helped write that code (including the synthesis for some sound effects) and the game's text, all directed and reviewed by the developer. No AI runs while you play.
