Rotspike
A downloadable game for Windows
Rotspike is a 2D platform game where you control Rattus, a rat who has been poisoned and must survive in a world overrun by the contamination. The poison constantly increases over time, turning every second into a fight against the inevitable. If you reach the limit, it's the end.
Traverse short, challenging stages, dodging traps and dangers while managing your toxicity. Each level demands precision, timing, and quick decisions—small mistakes can be fatal. Throughout your journey, you'll find items that can either help or worsen your situation. Knowing when to act is key to survival.
At the heart of this world lies a factory dominated by a snake, responsible for the contamination that has spread throughout the region. Your objective is to reach the core of the factory and insert the antidote into the central system, interrupting the source of the poison and saving what remains of civilization. But time is against you… and the poison inside your body keeps growing.
