SmackDatRat

In our Alt Ctrl Arcade Game, Smack Dat Rat, two players embark on an adventure in New York City which has been taken over by rats! The city has hired you and your competitor as cat rival exterminators to smack the rats out of the city! Our core gameplay involves navigation, competition, and SMACKING. Use your mini-map rat track navigator, joystick, and cat paws to SMACK THE RATS outta town! This experience is only able to be captured with this unique control scheme because players embody cat-ness with cat paws and cat scratcher post navigation joystick. In addition to this, we build rat buttons ready to be smacked with the cat paws!
