It all started with the meme.  A ridiculous thought experiment:

 

 

 

You’re trapped in an arena with 50 Eagles, 10 Crocodiles, 3 Bears, 7 Bulls, 15 Wolves, 5 Gorillas, 4 Lions, One Hunter, and 10,000 Rats.

 

"Pick two. They will defend you. The rest are coming to kill you."

 

 

 

The internet has spent years arguing about it.
Comment sections filled with experts in "gorilla" warfare.

Spirited debates helped document the combat effectiveness of rodents.

 

Could 10,000 rats overwhelm three bears? Could fifty eagles take down an armed hunter?

 

 

 

Everyone has their strategy, and everyone is convinced they are right about it.  

Along the way, many suggested:  “this needs to be a simulation.”

 

So I made one.

 

Choose your defenders, enter the arena, and put your theories to the test.

 

Take the madness further with an escalating campaign that pushes the original thought experiment to new heights,

with new weapons, powerups, and a ridiculous cast of new character selections.
