Rattus Velocitas

Rattus Velocitas is an arcade racing game where rats ride jet-powered hoverbikes on procedurally generated courses. You race for pole position, collect items to gain an advantage and attack the competition.

Courses and hazards

Races take place across five environments: Desert, Forest, Space Station, The Volcanic Region and a beach shaped suspiciously like a race track. Each environment has randomized course layouts, and some races take place at different times of day, with hazards to watch for.

Items and thrusters

You can collect five known types of item during a race: Missiles, Bombs, two types of Cheese, Portable Dash Ring projectors and Shields. A sixth mysterious item is also available; legends say it reacts explosively to shields. Alpha, Beta and Gamma class thrusters determine your speed, with faster thrusters making for faster races.

Race modes

You start with a single mode. After onboarding to the Rat Race, you unlock more ways to begin races, including selecting an environment and CPU racer difficulty, or replaying a course using a previous random seed.

Rats and multiplayer

Choose from up to seven rat colour patterns, with additional patterns unlocked by reaching certain milestones. You can play alone or with up to four players on one PC. Online, you can enter Quick Race against random players or create a lobby for friends.
