Don’t let the fluffy tails fool you, as Rodent Rumble features a variety of game modes, including the casual and zany Block Party Mode, the high-octane neighborhood battle arena Rodent Royale, and the competitive climbing mode Scurry Up to keep your entertainment resources stocked through winter.
From the light-hearted family fun of Block Party Mode to the tactical Rodent Royale, there is something for everyone in Rodent Rumble. Ready to get wild and let your competitive side out? Prepare to compete against other rodent squads in gameshow-style rounds of arcade goodness and overcome different stages of varying difficulty. Get your parkour on as you traverse walls, trees, rooftops, and more. Ascend the ranks of rodent royalty to win big and claim the Golden Acorn at the end of the final round!
Bask in the approachability of the suburban battlefield as you have up to three lives as you fight for victory amidst the flurry of furry battle royale chaos. Gather snacks to fatten up and survive the cold and utilize unique upgradable abilities like a blast of fireworks, an electric shock, a rocket-powered jetpack, and much more. Master your skills and command chaos strategically with up to 30 adorable, yet fierce competitors. Only the savviest rodents will emerge as the last rodent squad standing.
Customize your rodent with a vibrant assortment of outfits, shoes, hats, glasses, and more!
