\u25a0 Systems<\/strong><\/p>\n

A dead rat\u2019s revenge on humans!? The Mad Rat\u2019s adventure begins!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The protagonist of this story is a lab rat, who died following an experiment one night and encounters the Rat God in the world of the dead.<\/p>\n

Granted the opportunity by the Rat God to redo his \u201cfinal day,\u201d Mad Rat vows to get revenge on humans and die without regrets.<\/p>\n

Mad Rat was brought back to the morning before he died, and after escaping from the cage that imprisoned him, begins his quest for revenge.<\/p>\n

Finally free, Mad Rat also seems to be able to talk to his heart. Is Mad Rat crazy? Will he be able to achieve his revenge unscathed?<\/p>\n

\u201cNightmares\u201d block Mad Rat\u2019s way forward!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNightmares\u201d will obstruct Mad Rat\u2019s way forward throughout each stage. They are dangerous, but you can beat them one by one through rhythmic movement.<\/p>\n

But if Mad Rat runs into a Nightmare, he will die.<\/p>\n

When attacking a Nightmare, Mad Rat will jump in reaction. Utilize this to move freely throughout the air.<\/p>\n

Many accidents will fall upon Mad Rat!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Humans live in dangerous places for a rodent like Mad Rat. Overcome various accidents during each stage to carry out your revenge.<\/p>\n

Slide down a slope, ride the wind in the sky, and enjoy other high tempo actions throughout each stage.<\/p>\n

Did you get hit? No worries, just use the rewind function!<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you lack skill in rhythm and action games, then no worries, just use the \u201crewind\u201d function. If a Nightmare kills you, you can simply rewind to your preferred location a few moments prior.<\/p>\n

\u2014If a Nightmare kills you\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014And your heart jumps out\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014Just rewind a bit\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014And try again!<\/em><\/p>\n

You can also call out your heart yourself, which comes in handy for practicing specific parts.<\/p>\n

Build up \u201cDream Power\u201d to hype up Mad Rat!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Throughout each stage is a cheese-shaped item called \u201cDream Power,\u201d which restores the time limit when picked up.<\/p>\n

\u25a0 Three Modes<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to \u201cPlay\u201d mode (story mode), there is also a \u201cStage Select\u201d mode (freely select a stage and song), and \u201cSound Test\u201d mode (listen to each song).<\/p>\n

\u201cPlay\u201d Mode<\/strong><\/p>\n

Play through Mad Rat\u2019s adventure. Mad Rat will progress through each stage by performing rhythmic actions to the beat of each song.<\/p>\n

Each stage\u2019s cutscenes feature amusing interactions between Mad Rat and his heart. What outcome awaits this unlikely duo? Overcome the game\u2019s many stages to find out!<\/p>\n

\u201cStage Select\u201d Mode<\/strong><\/p>\n

Replay the stages you have cleared in \u201cPlay\u201d mode. Change the music that plays throughout the stage to your favorite track and aim for the high score. You can also rewatch cutscenes to experience Mad Rat and his heart\u2019s conversations once again.<\/p>\n

The \u201cHard Mode\u201d option that you can take on in \u201cStage Select\u201d mode is higher in difficulty, but has notes more in tune to the rhythm. Try to clear Hard Mode for all of your favorite songs!<\/p>\n

\u201cSound Test\u201d Mode<\/strong><\/p>\n

Listen to the songs for stages you have cleared. Sit back and enjoy the music from the game\u2019s wonderful lineup of artists. You can also perform actions with Mad Rat, so use this space to practice the game\u2019s more difficult tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t
