Demo available

RetroCrowDiscovered Oct 5, 2026

About the game

RATSHOT is a fast paced 2D platformer where you use the recoil of your gun to launch yourself through levels. Hone your speedrunning skills to get the best times and ranks, or play at your own pace and admire the graffiti-covered walls of NYC.

Original Steam description

RATSHOT is a 2D platformer about honing your skills to go wicked fast. Each level is short, but filled with shortcuts to find, extra challenges for more cash, and unique visuals and mechanics.

The moveset is simple, but those willing to dig into it will find it has more depth than what meets the eye.
Easy to learn but hard to master type of deal.
Maybe with enough practice, you'll even be able to beat the developer's times? (Pff, fat chance...)

  • 15 Unique Levels/Bosses!

  • Hand drawn artwork inspired by 2010s graffiti and music!

  • A KILLER original soundtrack!

  • A story that doesn't get in the way of the action!

  • RATS!

Currently the game isn't finished, but there's a free demo available. Give the game a wishlist! If you wanna follow development there's also devlogs posted on my YouTube channel (@RetroCrowDev, there's a button for it on the right if you scroll up)
