2D Roguelike Platformer Pit Panic launching July 21st on PC and consoles
Flying Rat Studio is happy to announce that Pit Panic will launch on July 21, 2026 for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2.
Pit Panic is a fast-paced 2D rogue-like platformer about escaping a collapsing Aztec temple. Very loosely inspired by games like Spelunky, it combines quick runs, deadly traps, treasure hunting, and constant improvisation with its own focus on vertical movement, digging, grappling hook action, and handcrafted level design.
Players dig their own way up, jump and climb at high speed, use a mysterious grappling hook, collect treasure, trade health for powerful upgrades, defeat ancient bosses, and try to survive more than 1,000 handcrafted levels.
Every run brings a new challenge across four distinct biomes filled with traps, enemies, environmental puzzles, and split-second decisions. After escaping the temple, players can continue the challenge through daily runs, leaderboards, and custom levels.
A free demo is still available to try on Steam
