Bad Rats: the Rats' Revenge

dude are you fucking serious

good game

Its so good, its bad! rats! its bad rats! they are good

When most people talk about their favorite video games, they mention titles like "The Legend of Zelda," "Minecraft," or "The Last of Us." But for me, none of those games even come close to the masterpiece that is Bad Rats. Yes, you heard that right. Bad Rats, a game that many consider to be a quirky, sometimes awkward puzzle game, is, without a doubt, the best game in the world. In fact, I’d go as far as to say it’s the greatest thing that has ever happened to me—not just in terms of entertainment, but also in how it has impacted my life in ways no one could ever imagine. It’s not just a game. It’s a life-changer.

Let me tell you why.

Before Bad Rats entered my life, I was struggling with a lot of things. I felt lost, like nothing was going right. I was going through some personal battles that seemed insurmountable, and the weight of everything felt like it was crushing me. The future didn’t seem bright, and at one point, I even felt that I had nowhere to turn. Life had me on the ropes.

That’s when Bad Rats came into the picture. At first, it was just a random game I picked up, not expecting much. But as soon as I started playing, something clicked. It wasn’t just the puzzles or the humor. It was something deeper, something I didn’t even realize I needed. Bad Rats offered me an escape—one that was fun and challenging but never overwhelming. More importantly, it gave me a sense of purpose and joy at a time when I had almost lost both.

As I played, I started to feel like I had a reason to keep going. It wasn’t just about solving puzzles or watching these funny, ragtag rats try to complete their missions—it was about feeling connected to something, anything, when everything else in life seemed so uncertain. Every victory in the game felt like a little win in real life, a reminder that maybe things could get better.

But the impact of Bad Rats wasn’t just limited to me. My grandparents, who had been struggling with their own issues for years, were also on the verge of giving up. Their marriage had gone through turbulent times, and they didn’t know how to rekindle their bond. They were at a crossroads, unsure if they would be able to stay together. That’s when I introduced them to Bad Rats. At first, they were skeptical, but slowly, they got hooked. The simple joy of playing together, laughing at the rats' absurd antics, and sharing that experience became a turning point for them. Bad Rats brought them closer than they had been in years, rekindling their love and reminding them of the importance of fun and companionship.

It was incredible. A simple game helped save their marriage. Bad Rats became more than just a pastime for them—it became a tool for healing, for bonding, and for rediscovering the joy of life.

I have no doubt in my mind that if it weren't for Bad Rats, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I wouldn’t be the person I’ve become. I wouldn’t have the strength or the will to keep moving forward. Bad Rats didn’t just offer me a distraction; it offered me a lifeline.

I used to think that if things kept spiraling down, I would end up on the streets—lost and without a future. But Bad Rats pulled me back. It reminded me that life could still be fun, that there was joy to be found even in the darkest moments. And more than that, it gave me a purpose. It gave me something to look forward to. The satisfaction of figuring out each level, of seeing the hilarious outcomes of each puzzle I solved, kept me motivated to press on.

The game became my refuge, my sanctuary from the chaos that often seemed to surround me. It gave me hope, and it gave me direction when I felt like I had none. The idea of losing everything no longer felt so certain, because Bad Rats showed me that there was always a way forward, no matter how challenging things seemed.

So, here I am today, not living on the streets, not lost in the despair I once felt, and certainly not the person I used to be. And I owe it all to Bad Rats. It’s not just a game; it’s a reminder of the power of joy, the strength of human connection, and the importance of having something to believe in—even if it’s a group of animated rats trying to solve impossible puzzles.

Bad Rats might not be the game that everyone talks about, but for me, it will always be the best game in the world. It saved my life, it saved my grandparents' marriage, and it continues to be a source of comfort and joy in a world that sometimes feels too complicated and overwhelming. If you haven’t played it yet, maybe it’s time you gave it a try. You never know—the next great thing that saves your life might just be waiting for you in the form of a rat.

THE GOAT

You've either been gifted bad rats or you've lived long enough to gift bad rats.

:(

I agree with the guy who extinguishes cigarettes on his thigh and plays with his bellybutton whilst playing this GEM

At the time when i bought this, i thought "eh, its only a dollar (or 50 cents i don't remember if i got this on sale), why not?" after deciding to play it out of sheer boredom, i now realize that that money could've gone to purchasing a bunch of bananas. And it would've been more pleasureable in the 3 and a half hours i spent with the bananas then with the bad rats.

Absolute masterpiece, at times felt a bit sad for my fellow beings, but it didn't stop me from playing more >:3 Must have, get it for your whole family <3

classic

Horrible random physics were a solution works only 10% of the time.

Imma let you finish Tractor Rat, but Mookie Betts Rat is the greatest of all time

A Christmas Miracle! Playing this game cured me of all diseases!

trash

Wow these rats sure are bad!

Damn, those rats are bad.

It's bad rats

so freaking boring

Jogo lixo, com gatos lixos, ratos lixos, mapa lixo, músicas lixo, tudo lixo!

Fantastic game, pitts approved

bad rats truly is THE video game of all time

bad rats how is this game not steam front page????

Ode to Bad Rats: A Game Best Left Unplayed

Oh, Bad Rats, a name of disdain,
Where even the boldest gamers know pain.
Your rats and cats? They’re fine, they’re set—
But everything else? A deep, dark regret.

Physics-based puzzles, you claim with pride,
But logic and reason here have died.
Each rat’s movement, a gamble, pure RNG,
Like gravity rules were set free randomly.

The setups are chaos, the outcomes unclear,
Each restart a torture, the goal nowhere near.
You don’t solve puzzles, you just survive,
Praying each launch will keep hope alive.

And the sounds—oh, they sting, they scrape the brain,
A soundtrack designed to drive you insane.
With squeals and screeches in maddening loops,
Your ears go numb to the endless whoops.

Discount Itchy and Scratchy? A slapstick spree?
Not here, just a sadistic medley.
Where joy might have lived, there’s only despair,
A game built to break you, beyond repair.

So cheers, Bad Rats, for what you’ve done:
A title to roast, not to be won.
An experience to mock, to despise and flee,
Forever a legend in gaming’s debris.

Every level’s a grind, each attempt’s a waste,
A challenge in patience, a foul-tasting paste.
For each ball that you launch, there’s more rage to build,
In this broken design, all excitement killed.

Oh, Bad Rats, a game from a dev’s worst dream,
Where physics and reason are torn at the seam.
You tease with “solutions” that end in dismay,
A loop of torment, an endless foray.

If torture had software, you’d lead the chart,
A cruel, chaotic, dark work of "art."
So here’s my farewell, for life’s far too short—
Bad Rats, you’re a game that I’ll never support.

Bad Rats: The Hellish Descent into Gaming Purgatory

[i]"A Very Poor Man's Itchy and Scratchy That Will Make You Question All Your Life Choices"

Ah, *Bad Rats*. The infamous *Bad Rats*. A game so reviled, so unapologetically horrendous, that it has carved out its own twisted little niche in gaming infamy. Imagine a game that takes everything fun, good, and remotely entertaining about puzzles, physics, and slapstick humor—and throws it all into a wood chipper. This isn’t a game; it’s a grueling test of human patience and resilience. The rats and cats may be decently modeled, but that only makes it more tragic, as they’re doomed to live out their days in a digital nightmare fueled by broken mechanics and pure, unfiltered RNG.

[hr]

Graphics: An Insult to Decent Modeling

To be fair, the rat and cat models are actually decent. The characters look fine—if only they were in a better game. But instead of being part of something even remotely playable, they’re trapped in a fever-dream hellscape of low-res backgrounds, garish colors, and design choices that make early 2000s shovelware look polished by comparison. It’s like the game wanted to see how much ugliness it could pack into every pixel, with models that deserved better than to be marooned here. They’re forced to perform in this godforsaken circus of chaos, dragged down by what can only be described as a total disregard for any known game design principles.

[hr]

Gameplay: A Mind-Numbing Assault on Your Sanity

“Gameplay” here is a term I’m using very loosely. You’re supposed to arrange these miserable little rats in order to somehow maneuver a ball toward a cat, and that’s it. What could have been a fun physics-based puzzle game quickly devolves into a harrowing lesson in frustration management. Rather than enjoying some creative Rube Goldberg-style contraptions, you’re faced with the most sadistic and nonsensical “puzzles” ever conceived.

The worst part? The “physics” operate in a parallel universe where logic and consistency are but distant myths. One second, a rat kicks the ball like a soccer pro; the next, it taps it with the force of a feather, causing you to wonder if the rats themselves are actively trying to ruin your experience. You don’t solve these puzzles; you just trial and error your way through, adjusting and re-adjusting placements in the hope that maybe, just maybe, it will actually work this time. Spoiler: it won’t. The game’s idea of “challenge” is a cruel joke, a chaotic mess where nothing behaves the way it should, and every attempt ends in failure that feels engineered to mock you.

[hr]

Physics: A Complete and Utter Betrayal

Let’s talk about the physics engine—if it can even be called that. *Bad Rats* is a masterclass in how to butcher physics. If Newton were alive to see this, he’d renounce gravity. Rats catapult objects at unpredictable velocities, seemingly influenced by a random number generator and possibly some spite. One attempt sees your carefully placed setup launch the ball into the next dimension; the next, it barely budges. It’s as if the developers skipped physics class and replaced it with something I can only describe as “guess and hope for the best.”

There’s no logic, no reliability, just a horrifying mix of variables that leads you to question why you’re even still trying. You can recreate the same setup ten times in a row and watch as ten completely different outcomes spit in your face.

[hr]

Plot: A Miserable Attempt at Shock Humor

If you were hoping for some narrative depth, abandon that hope now. The whole “plot” boils down to creating complex, convoluted scenarios to violently end a cat. It’s not darkly funny or edgy; it’s just gross, tedious, and feels like a high schooler’s first attempt at “mature” humor. There’s none of the charm of an Itchy and Scratchy skit; instead, it’s a crude attempt at humor that thinks it’s funny just because it’s grotesque.

Every “successful” level comes with an over-the-top death sequence for the cat, as if the game is trying to be shocking. But it’s not shocking, it’s just disturbing—and not in an interesting or funny way. It’s clear the developers thought they were making something darkly humorous, but they missed the mark by a mile. If anything, it’s a bit tragic, like watching a failed comedy routine that just leaves you feeling uncomfortable and vaguely sad.

[hr]

A Testament to Game Design Gone Horribly Wrong

*Bad Rats* doesn’t just fail at being fun; it seems to go out of its way to be the least enjoyable experience possible. The fine character models are wasted on levels that actively hate you, mechanics that make no sense, and a setup that’s less a game and more a test of human endurance. This isn’t a game you play to have fun or challenge yourself; it’s a game you play if you want to understand how low-budget games can go wrong on every conceivable level.

*Bad Rats* is, in every sense of the word, an anti-game. Every element works against itself in a tangle of bad decisions and worse design. I’d say it’s a waste of time, but “waste” implies it could be used for something, and this game isn’t even useful as a lesson—it’s just punishment wrapped up in the flimsiest excuse for entertainment.

[hr]

Final Verdict: An Abomination on Every Level

To say *Bad Rats* is bad feels redundant; it’s in the name. But this game isn’t just “bad”—it’s a complete disaster, a torturous experience that somehow finds new ways to make you hate every second. You might go in thinking you’re ready for a quirky, Itchy-and-Scratchy-style slapstick experience, but what you’ll get is a grueling, hateful test of patience.

Would I recommend *Bad Rats*? Only to people I genuinely dislike.

https://bbpest.com/2022/02/rats-and-cheese-a-love-hate-relationship/#:~:text=The%20origins%20of%20the%20myth,foods%20such%20as%20peanut%20butter.

Don't get us wrong, rats do eat cheese – it's filled with protein and fats. But they are not that fond of it. In fact, believe it or not, they do not like the smell. They are much more attracted to nuts, meats, and processed foods such as peanut butter.

Rats are omnivores, which means that they will eat both meat and plants. In the wild, they will be out foraging for nuts, seeds, eggs, baby birds, and any meat that they can scavenge. Indoors, they are drawn to similar foods. For example, you can use bacon or hotdogs to bait traps. However, out of all the foods out there, rats really go crazy for peanut butter. Peanut butter is rich in protein, fats and carbs, and it’s pretty much a superfood.

Rats are very skinny, bare-bones, beyond deadly anorexic skinny, therefore they go after FAT in particular.

Unless you're leaving your cheese all over the floor like a madman, I don't think they pose much of a threat.

If you're fat or chubby, then they might want to take a nibble of course, but all you have to do is set some clever traps.
While extremely dangerous for the potential diseases they carry, rats are not apex predators and can often be easily fooled!

Furthermore, there really AREN'T that many rats going around 24/7 in your house, the chances of 2 rodents being in the same place is actually very unlikely, and more than 2 is extremely unlikely. There's no such thing as giant "rat" infestations, these are usually other species of rodents.

honestly tho, if all the boys are tryna stay up one night this shit will def pick yo lil brain

Peak Fiction ONG!

I hope vegans find out about this game they would have a joy ride

This videogame has proven to be most helpful for my students in my quantum physics classes, as it perfectly demonstrates the "Many Worlds" theory. We set up the rats in a way the ball may or may not reach the end. Then, we keep pressing the play button and watch what happens. We note the results, and repeat until the level is complete.
This is a must have for anyone studying quantum physics.
