You are a rat. You must climb. No collectibles, no invisible walls, no unlockable skills. You can only run, walk, and jump. Can you reach the top of the world?
In Rat Climber, you only have one goal: reach the top of the world.
You must navigate vertical labyrinths and make daring jumps, but be careful; one false move and you go tumbling down.
- Just climb and explore! But there may be a secret cheese in each zone, and something special might happen upon finding them all...
- If there's a small hole, you can probably fit inside. A 3 inch ledge? You can stand on it, Ratty! Start thinking like a rat.
- There are only 3 controls: Jump, dash, and walk
The dash lets you jump farther and slightly higher

The walk allows for precise movement and prevents you from walking off of ledges

If you fall, there's a chance you could recover progress from a recovery path, or land in a previous zone below you, but it's not guaranteed!
Can you guide Ratty to the top of the world and reach cheese heaven? Try your skills in the best 3D ratformer ever made!
