Kill all the rats before they have a chance to mate and over run the maze. To kill a rat, pick up the objects which appear at random on the right hand side of the window by clicking the mouse on them and placing them in the maze.
The bar graph on the right of the window tells you how many male (blue) and female (pink) rats there are left alive. When the bar reaches the top you have been overrun and have lost.
If you kill all of one sex of rat you will be given the maximum number of each object so that you can quickly finish off the unfortunate and frustrated remaining sex.
You can move around a maze by clicking on the scroll buttons, by pressing the arrow keys, or by clicking on the map of the maze shown in the top right hand corner of the window. The game can be paused and restarted by pressing the ‘P’ key, and aborted by pressing the ‘Esc’ key. The sound effects can be turned on and off by pressing ‘Q’.
The harder the level you start on, the more points you will score for killing each rat or for completing a level.

Another thing that really makes Rats! enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Rats!. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
