What’s It About?
Kids attempt to progress as far as they can along a never-ending slope, touching the screen to launch their rat in the air to avoid obstacles such as cliffs, trees, and tree stumps. They touch the screen to perform minimal mid-air turns. In another mode, the game adds exploding meatballs from the sky you'll have to avoid, using the same touch-to-jump play mechanic.
Is It Any Good?
RAT ON A SNOWBOARD shouldn't be this fun. It is, after all, a snowboarding game that lacks any real tricks. It's hardly a graphical tour de force. And it's as shallow as a kiddie pool. But even with all of that going against it, it's an addictive "one more turn" game that you'll have a hard time turning down.
There are three modes, each of which offers silly fun. And trying to better your top score becomes a quest. It's an easy game to learn and a great way to kill a few minutes (or more) throughout the day -- and one you'll come back to again and again.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
