DunkRatz

DunkRatz is a team-based local multiplayer game for 2–4 players. Each player controls a rat on a kitchen floor, trying to feed a ball of cheese to their team’s giant baby rat to score. The first team to reach the chosen score limit wins.

Move, grab and throw

You rotate your rat and charge up a dash to move around the arena. Running into an object mouth-first automatically grabs it; while holding an object, you can charge up a throw instead of dashing. You can throw the cheese toward your baby, pick up and throw either baby, and grab other players from behind to move them away from the action or hold them in place. You cannot dash while carrying an object.

Special items

Special cabinets activate periodically, letting players collect items that can disrupt the match:

• Bottle rocket: provides a quick speed boost.
• Plunger: pulls in distant objects.
• Mouse-traps: catch opponents.
• Jelly molds: block off part of the arena.
• Egg: knocks objects out of an opponent’s hands when aimed well.

Match rules and play

DunkRatz has one game mode and one arena. You can choose which special items may spawn and set the score limit; the game recommends 10. After a score, two large cheese cannons emerge from the refrigerators so teams can strategically launch the next cheese ball without stopping and restarting play.

The game supports local play for 2–4 players. Steam Remote Play Together lets you play online with up to three friends, though DunkRatz has no native online support. Its sound effects are musical, creating a jazz-inspired tune during each match.
