Bad Rats: The Rats' Revenge is a 2009 puzzle video game developed by Invent4 Entertainment. Over a string of levels, the player places a set of rats and static objects to guide a ball towards a trap that kills a cat. Bad Rats was released as Invent4 Entertainment's debut game on 20 July 2009 via Steam, followed by releases on other services in 2010. While it received no reviews at release, retrospective pieces criticised the game's graphics, puzzles, and physics. Bad Rats is considered an oddity for being released on Steam while the platform's catalogue was still hand-curated. It became a popular gag gift on Steam, leading to more than 400,000 owners by 2018. A sequel, Bad Rats Show, was released on the seventh anniversary of Bad Rats in 2016.

Gameplay

Rats and objects used to solve puzzles are stored in the inventory in front of each level.
Bad Rats is a physics-based puzzle video game in a style similar to The Incredible Machine and Armadillo Run. In each level, the player is tasked with arranging (by moving and rotating) a set of rats and static objects in a way that steers a ball towards a trap. The ball's touch causes the trap to activate, killing the nearby cat. The game offers a tutorial and two modes: In the "Easy" mode, the inventory is limited and the solution to each level can be displayed. The "Expert" mode provides the entire inventory, including all ten kinds of rats, and no solutions. Hints for each level are available in both modes.[1]

Development and release
Bad Rats was developed by Invent4 Entertainment, an indie game studio based in Porto Alegre.[2][3] It was the company's first game, after it was founded by Augusto Bülow on 4 April 2009.[3][4] Bülow provided the concept for the game and acted as its programmer and level designer.[2][5] Carlos Alberto Kunkel Bülow designed the 3D models and their animations, while graffiti imagery was provided by Mateus "Mes" Silva Brum. Additional art was created by Gustavo Bülow, and music and sound design done by Márcio Stein.[5]

A demo of Bad Rats was released through Invent4 Entertainment's website on 20 May 2009. This demo was downloaded more than 20,000 times by August that year, and an updated version was published in November. Bad Rats was released via Steam on 20 July 2009. It was made available through Invent4 Entertainment's website in January 2010, as well as GamersGate and Direct2Drive in February 2010. In April that year, the company announced partnerships that would see Bad Rats (and future games) released by Strategy First in North America, by Akella in Russia, and by Micromedia in the Netherlands.[4]
