Rat Race!

Thank you for playing!

Controls are p for the pause menu, spacebar for boost, and mouse for aim and shooting. Arrow keys are to speed up, slow down, and turn.

You are playing as a mousechaser in 2100. Cats, now spread across the galaxy, have gotten mouse hunting down to a science. Using remote control cars to do mass hunts from a distance, they are able to keep up with the explosion of rats across spacefaring human colonies. You are stationed at shipping station 13, another day on the job, when alarms start blaring. For you, this is just another day, but you should probably start making your way towards the elevators...

Search for the blue lights, the elevator is busy shipping others out of the facility, so won't be able to carry you for a few minutes, do try to survive until then...

This is my first published game in unreal engine, and I had a blast making it. It's rough around the edges, I know, but regardless I appreciate you playing it. Best of luck to all participants of the game jam, I look forward to seeing what others have come up with!

Originally my plan was to have a horde mode in this, to align more with the theme of here we go again, but the scope was more than I could accomplish in a 7 day period. Regardless, have a good time, and let me know if you manage to get out!

I would love to do a video on how this was made, so if I can I'll edit this with that link eventually. I don't think it's anything crazy interesting for larger teams, but

I still think it was a super fun project where I learned a lot.

Assets used from Kenney.nl Assets, specifically the spacestation, conveyor, and car models. Thank you kenney!
