Evaluation
Rocket Rats launched on December 17, 2024 as a survivors-like action game. Since launch, the developer shipped four feature updates: version 1.1.0 on December 7, 2024 (pre-release balance/mechanics update), version 1.2.0 on December 22, 2024 (Upgrades Collection, QoL, balance), version 1.3.0 on February 3, 2025 (Steam Trading Cards, new upgrades, balance), and version 1.4.0 on January 25, 2026 (localization for eight new languages). The gap between the last two feature patches is roughly 12 months (February 3, 2025 to January 25, 2026). As of today, September 24, 2026, it has been approximately 8 months since the most recent developer communication. The historical cadence between major updates spans roughly 1–12 months, but the last update appears to be a localization/polish pass rather than a content expansion — and the developer has made no announcements of further updates or planned content since January 25, 2026. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no roadmap or announcement of upcoming content, and no developer statement indicating ongoing development. Given that the silence now exceeds the longest observed interval between updates and the last update was a localization wrap-up (a typical signal of a game being finished off), the game appears to have reached its completed state. No statement has been made declaring completion outright, but the evidence pattern supports this conclusion.
Evidence
Version 1.4.0 adds localization for French, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Chinese Simplified, and Chinese Traditional — the most recent developer communication on record.
Version 1.3.0 adds Steam Trading Cards, new upgrades, QoL improvements, and balance changes.

About this game
All systems are go, prepare for liftoff! Rocket Rats is a survivors-like game where you defeat waves of cheesy critters on the moon. You play as one of many rats whose job is to extract cheese for your space base – by blasting them off with guns!
The moon is filled with enemies dead set on attacking you. Luckily for us, they're just what we were looking for! Defeat various cheese-based enemies that come in various waves, but be careful not to be swarmed by them!
To help you defeat the ever-growing horde of enemies, you can get various different upgrades throughout your run. From Star Allies that fire at enemies with you, to Lightning summoning, to Poison debuffs, you'll always have plenty of options to improve your stats based on your preferred playstyle.
The more you play, the more cheese you collect. With it, you can buy permanent upgrades and improve stats through skill trees designed to elevate your character's build. Play as a nerdy rodent, a battered soldier, a mecha-rat, and much more with unlockable characters.
