Are you ready, Squirrel Squad?

A new rival arrives and joins forces with Mother & Father to destroy the neighborhood!

Watch The Ratatoskr Update trailer!

Tackle the new Super Platforming Challenge as you reach new heights navigating the cyclone debris to take on the new boss. But keep a sharp eye—those pesky agents are very motivated to take you out before you get there!

The fight against Ratatoskr is quite unlike the vehicle-based bosses you've faced before. The mythical squirrel moves fast, has a variety of ranged and melee attacks, and is a considerably smaller target! Fortunately, you will be granted a special SMG with a magazine of infinite bullets for the occasion.

Though it is a disputed feature among historians, we wanted our adaptation of Ratatoskr to make use of a horn/tusk in combat. It can use the horn/tusk as a devastating frontal attack, or drill into the ground and burst out from under the player. It can even grow in size and be used as a melee weapon.

Our hero squirrel is not one to comprehend intricacies like blocking and dodging, but it definitely knows a thing or two about shooting! Using the gun and quick reflexes, you will be able to block and even deflect attacks back at Ratatoskr.

UPDATE 1.4.3.0: New levels:

  • Super Platformer level

  • Ratatoskr boss fight

New Outfits:

  • Cauldron outfit (a la Getting Over It) as a reward for beating the Super Platformer with less than 5 deaths

  • "Chained" outfit (a la Chained Together) as a reward for beating the Super Platformer with 0 deaths

  • Corrupted Norse Squirrel, awarded for beating Ratatoskr

  • Divine Norse Squirrel, awarded for beating Ratatoskr 3x and then a 4th time, where he will be gold and more difficult

Do you have what it takes to take on Ratatoskr? Play the update now to find out!
