A major patch has just been released for the Gun a Rat demo!

New Features & Customization:

  • Crosshair Customization: You can now select your crosshair style (dot, open circle, cross, or none) and customize its color directly from the pause menu.

  • Points per Rat Selector: In the Start and Replay menus, you can now adjust the points awarded per rat (from 1 to 30). The maximum target score is automatically capped by the total points available on the map.

Gameplay Balancing:

  • Rat Buffs: Increased rat stamina (+5%) and stamina regeneration speed (+5%).

  • Rat Hitbox: Slightly enlarged the rat's side hitbox to make shooting more consistent for the exterminator.

  • Poison Effect: Increased the delay between shots when suffering from poison.

  • General Rebalancing: Minor global tweaks to improve overall game flow.

Bug Fixes & Fixes:

  • Pistol Bug: Fixed an issue where players could shoot faster than the intended fire rate.

  • Exterminator Selector: Fixed a bug related to the exterminator selection tool.

  • Lobby Player List: Resolved an issue where player profile pictures appeared fully white initially in the lobby player list.
