About this game
Rabies Pets 2.0 is a silly online multiplayer game set in a bright storybook neighborhood where every pet has caught a very cartoony case of the rabies: glowing red eyes, bubbly foam and a wobbly walk. Up to 50 people play in the same match. Twenty are pet owners armed with water guns, shields, leashes and treat cages, and thirty are pets who pounce and nibble until the owners turn into pets too. Any spot without a player is filled by a computer character, so the street is always busy. Lure a pet into a treat cage and it is cured in a puff of sparkles, switches sides and grabs a water squirter of its own, and ten friendly helper pets lend a paw with healing licks. Every cure or infection earns Rabid Cash: spend it on power-ups at the Rabid Cash Shop, or on parkour gloves and super shoes you keep for good in the Equipment Shop. Climb ladders to the rooftops, roll out of big falls, dodge the traffic and lead cured pets to the Pet Owners' Home to lock them in safe. It runs right in the browser on computers, Chromebooks, tablets and phones.
Characters created by Isabel and Mason.
Tips
- Soak them first. A pet with low health is pulled toward a treat almost twice as hard, so squirt a pet before you try to drag it to your cage.
- Make every cage count. You only get a new cage once a minute, so put it where pets are chasing you and stand near it: the closer they get, the harder the smell pulls.
- Cured? Keep going. A cured pet gets the same water squirter, leash, shield and cages as the owners, but still has to use windows instead of doors.
- Pets, use the windows. Owners can only use doors, so hop through a broken window to escape a water gun or surprise someone inside.
- Use the shop as a hideout. Rabid Cash buys snacks and power-ups, and the shop is a safe zone the moment you step inside, even mid-chase. You only get 45 seconds in there, though, then 90 seconds before you can come back. Your cash is saved on your device, so you can save up across visits.
- Roll, bounce or gear up. Falling off a roof costs 40 health, but pressing Roll just before you land, landing on a parked car, or wearing a Glove or Advanced Shoes from the Equipment Shop costs nothing.
