About Ratatron

It plays like a small arcade game where the traps are lethal, so a single mistake costs you the run.

The weather turns stormy as you play, and eating cheese is what calms the storm. Your real goal is to get the little rodent to safety, which makes this an escape game at heart.

Coins do a different job. Picking them up reveals hidden platforms, and those open up routes you would not see otherwise. Timing your jumps between traps while picking a route makes this more of a skill game than a simple runner.

Quick summary

  • You start each level as a mouse that has to reach safety.
  • Along the way you run and jump past traps that kill you on contact.
  • You grab cheese to settle the storm and coins to uncover hidden platforms.
  • Touching a trap ends the run, so you play the stretch again.

Key features

  • You play as a mouse, so it fits with other animal games.
  • The weather changes and a storm rolls in while you play.
  • Cheese is the only thing that calms the storm.
  • Coins reveal secret platforms and new paths.
  • It runs on desktop with arrow keys and on mobile with touch.

Tips & tricks

  • Grab cheese as fast as you can. The quicker the storm calms, the safer you are.
  • Do not skip coins, because the hidden platforms they reveal can give you an easier way through.
  • Treat every trap as instant death and jump early rather than late.
