Jan Tomášik
Game Director
The original brain behind Pit Panic. If something clever or slightly evil exists in the game, chances are it started in Jan’s head.
Team
Flying Rat Studio, above the pit.
The team section shifts the focus from the game to the people making and shipping it.
Tadeáš Anděl
Engineer
The person who turned wild ideas into actual working code. Also responsible for making sure the game doesn’t explode when too many things happen at once.
Martin Pelikán
Artist
The one who made Pit Panic look the way it does. If you see something pretty, atmospheric, or oddly charming, thank Martin.
Kateřina Vejdělková
Animator
Bringing characters to life one frame at a time. Without her, everyone would just stand there awkwardly.
Ondřej Purchart
Lore Writer
The keeper of Pit Panic’s lore and strange stories. If something mysterious is happening, Ondřej probably wrote it.
Jakub Tkáč
VFX Artist
Responsible for all the sparks, magic, and visual chaos. If something explodes or glows beautifully, Jakub was involved.
Additional contributors
Pit Panic wouldn’t be the same without the people listed here, and plenty of others who helped shape it along the way. Some have moved on, some aren’t part of the project day to day anymore, and some sadly left under tougher circumstances, but their contributions are still a real part of the game.

Pit Panic in one breath
Pit Panic is a fast-paced arcade platformer about climbing out of trap-filled ruins with a versatile Claw Gun. It mixes a handcrafted first run with replayable seeded runs, hidden routes, and a built-in editor that keeps the challenge alive after the campaign.

Handcrafted rooms. Fresh danger every run.
The campaign introduces the ruins room by room. After that, endless runs remix those spaces into shareable seeds so players can race the same layout and see who escapes cleanest.
Buried Grounds
Tight corridors, pressure traps, and barely enough room to recover.
Flooded District
Water, fire, and vertical navigation collide in layered routes upward.
Excavation Site
Mechanical relics and carved stone create faster, riskier lines.
Overgrown Ruins
Lush surfaces hide enemy pressure, climbing routes, and hard choices.
About
Readable fast. Worth replaying.
The pitch is simple: sharp arcade action, a standout traversal tool, a handcrafted first run, and enough replay depth to keep players sharing seeds and coming back for cleaner escapes.
Storefronts
The Steam demo comes first.
Pit Panic is launching with a playable Steam demo, so the site puts the store front and center with clear paths to play now or wishlist for later.
Immediate player fantasy
Players understand the core loop quickly: escape upward, survive traps, use the Claw Gun creatively, and chase cleaner runs.
Retention beyond the campaign
Procedural runs, shareable seeds, and room variety turn the game from a one-time experience into a repeatable challenge format.
UGC-ready structure
The built-in level editor extends the product beyond launch content and supports a creator-and-challenger community dynamic.
