Hey, it's been a while!

In 2013, I had a sudden thought...

I wanted to see if I could put together a little online FPS in a short time.

Ratz 1.0 was released as a web game and the feedback I got was very good, so I just kept working on it. Then Steam introduced "Steam Greenlight" and I took my chance.

Two years later, Ratz Instagib 2.0 was born, the beginning of my career as a game developer.

And with time, an amazing community of fans started to form on Discord, keeping the game alive for years to come!

I can't thank you all enough! <3

In 2022, I partnered with the games publisher and developer Rarebyte, an incredible team that helped me push my second game Rogue Glitch to the next level and inspired me to give Ratz Instagib 2.0 another go!

So without further ado, I'm excited to bring you the Ratz Instagib 2.5.0 Update!
