Ratatan Kickstarter Campaign Reaches 18 Stretch Goals, Livestream Announced
/
Developer Ratata Arts announced that the Kickstarter campaign for the Patapon spiritual successor game Ratatan is doing extremely well as with less than 48 hours left in the campaign, they’ve cleared 18 stretch goals with over $1.2 million in pledges from over 12,300 backers.
This makes the Ratata Kickstarter campaign the 42nd most funded video game Kickster of all time for the crowdfunding site.
With that many stretch goals reached, Ratatan will also launch with an online mode, a secret ending, additional language support, a console version, and more. There are only two stretch goals left with one of them adding room and base customization features if the campaign surpasses $1.3 million.
The Campaign started with a goal of ~$137,000.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.
