Join the party in Rat Runners, a multiplayer party game with up to 25 players. Jump and climb over each other to claim your place at the top of the leaderboard as The Big Cheese.
Rat Runners was a party game developed in Roblox Studio where players would take part in minigames in a round based format for prizes. It was inspired by custom game modes that make use of physics such as Fall guys, Halo: Custom games and Garry's Mod. The player could also buy map wide modifiers and other fun abilities with currency they had earned with their wins. We had hundreds of plays across multiple servers at launch and had a unique player count of 4.9 thousand players.
I deisgned the core layout of the level as well as the first three gamemodes:
Trash Chute
In this gamemode the players run up a pipe as junk objects of all different sizes are hurled down towards them, knocking them back. Giant rotating fans churn the objects up to make their trajectories even more unpredictable. The First player to the top, or player that made it the highest in the time limit wins.

Arena
Reminiscent of the popular Fallguys mode; the players must keep moving, as stepping on a tile will cause them to fall moments later. With multiple floors and different modifiers the players can buy to shake things up, this mode ends up being highly competitive as the player tries to be the last player standing.
