Reception
Bad Rats did not receive any critical reviews aggregated on Metacritic, and, according to Kotaku, is a "putridly awkward", "nearly universally reviled" game. However, its appearance on the Steam marketplace in 2009, at a time when that platform was relatively tightly curated for quality, caused it to stand out as an oddity. It attracted a community of followers still active in 2015, six years after its release.
Bad Rats received a majority of positive user reviews, possibly beginning the trend of users jokingly giving over-the-top positive reviews to bad games, and became a popular gift to troll other players with. Rock, Paper, Shotgun described it as "the gaming equivalent of neckties with kooky prints or fart-scented soap".
Sequel
A sequel, Bad Rats Show, was released on 20 July 2016.
