Rats! (USA) (GBC)

In Rats! for the Game Boy Color, players embody a brave little mouse tasked with navigating a series of challenging mazes. The primary objective in each level is to collect all scattered pieces of cheese and then find the exit hole to complete the stage. However, this journey is far from simple.

The mazes are intricately designed with various types of obstacles and enemies. Players will encounter aggressive cats, deadly traps such as mousetraps, and environmental hazards like water or falling objects. To overcome these, your mouse can perform several actions. One of the key gameplay mechanics involves the ability to push blocks or objects to clear paths, block enemies, or activate switches. This requires players to think strategically and plan their moves carefully.

The game is typically presented from a top-down or isometric perspective, allowing players an overview of the maze layout. As you progress through the levels, the difficulty increases, introducing new types of obstacles and requiring more complex puzzle-solving. Rats! combines elements of agile action with strategic puzzle-solving, creating a unique and engaging experience on the GBC that demands both skillful control and logical thinking to succeed.
