Play as a rat on the moon, fighting waves of cheese-themed enemies with automatically firing weapons. Several rat characters are available, each with its own abilities and skill tree.
Move around a compact arena as enemies approach from all sides. Defeat them to advance through waves, then choose an upgrade to improve your attacks or abilities for that run.
Upgrades can be combined into stronger effects, while cheese collected during play buys permanent improvements in skill trees. Unlock additional rats and build their skills between runs.
Players who enjoy Rocket Rats often describe it as a cute, straightforward game for short, relaxed sessions, and appreciate experimenting with upgrades and character builds. Some also like the quick progression and achievement goals. Other reviews find the small arena and largely automatic combat too passive, and say the limited variety can make runs repetitive or the experience feel brief.
