A little aim. A little chaos. A whole lot of rabble.

rabble-rouser is a woodland physics brawler where every enemy can become your next projectile. Pick one of 24 peculiar rollers, line up a shot, and send the woods tumbling.

Bonk a charger into its friends. Push a bomb into a crowd. Put a braced rival between you and trouble. Read the announced attacks, find a good stopping spot, and turn one careful flick into a ridiculous chain reaction.

• 24 playable characters, each with its own collision abilities—and every one can appear as an opponent.
• Randomized endless runs. Shuffled woodland arenas, rotating layouts and changing encounters from the first stage. A gentle opening builds toward a boss, then the Wilds keep going.
• Build-changing upgrades: shockwaves, armour-piercing bank shots, ring-out shields, gentle-shot pulls and multiball.
• Woodland pinball: light the stones or clear a bank of pegs for an immediate jackpot. Smash crates and cracked stone, bank off steel, and watch the burrows.
• Eight achievements and an Inkwell high-score leaderboard.
• Two Descent recordings, with smooth crossfades and music that makes room for the impacts.

How to play

Move the mouse to aim. Distance controls how far an unobstructed shot rolls; click to launch. The endpoint shows the estimated stop or first contact, with red warning of a fall. Collisions can change what happens next.

With the keyboard, use Left/Right to aim, Up/Down for power and Space to launch. Esc opens the pause menu, with separate saved music and sound-effect volume controls and a reduced-motion option. Shots at 45% power or less count as gentle. A quick shot earns a score bonus; the countdown fires your shot when time runs out.

A run ends when you run out of hearts. Signed-in Inkwell players save their best completed run to High scores. Local practice keeps a separate best score on this browser. Stage shortcuts are practice runs and never submit platform scores or achievements.
