Hi rattys! I am the creator of the game Rat Climber and I am very happy it finally has its own speedrun page now (shoutout to admins who approved it so quickly)

I built Rat Climber with speedrunners in mind and have tried to make it very smooth and polish out the rough spots with every patch I make. All of the zones are now more or less set in stone, there will no longer be any major path updates outside of bugfixes and the occasional softlock spot, so the zone geometry should all be similar from this point on and into the future.

I really hope people discover this game and find new skips and optimization strats, that kind of thing is so fun for me to witness as the dev. I have went through and found a ton of them myself and put about 70% of the skips into my own speedrun submission to kickstart the knowledgebase for the community, although there's a few skips I did not include due to their difficulty.

I'm not the best runner in the world so I will leave it to professionals! But I will definitely be sharing the spots in their own unique video soon

I really hope people have fun with my game and if you encounter any bugs or pain spots that are overly irritating or feel unfair, please let me know and I can work out a patch for them.

Thanks!
