Rat Race

Rat Race is a two-players co-op 3D arcade game, where as rats you get to operate a broken down car and get as far as you can from evil scientists! Together, drive the vehicle, dodge the obstacles and navigate through various adversities on the road to escape their clutches!

Cooperate and communicate with your teammate, as controlling a car as two rats is not as easy as it may seem! Look out for the obstacles, hot wire the car to fix malfunctions and keep your distance from the pursuers! Jump in behind the wheel or down next to the pedals and engine and sit tight! REMEMBER: it's a race against time, in which anything can go haywire!
