Rat Attack!
老鼠攻击
Rat Attack! is a puzzle game developed by Mindscape in 1999 for the Nintendo 64. In this single-player game, you control a mouse defending against invading rats by setting traps and manipulating tiles on grid-based levels. The gameplay uses a turn-based system where you strategically position various trap mechanisms to catch rats before they reach your home base. Each level features a different grid layout with unique rat behaviors to counter. The N64 controller handles selection and placement of traps across the stage. As you progress, difficulty increases through more complex layouts, larger rat swarms, and more aggressive enemy behavior. The game challenges players to think ahead and adapt their trap placements for each new scenario.
