Rat Revolution is an real time strategy prototype, that sees the player controlling their army of rats in search of cheese.

It was created in my Spring 2022 semester at UTD for my capstone project.


This game is a prototype, and did not end up containing all the features and polish that I had hoped when I started on it. But it still explores some basic ideas and served as a learning experience for me.
