About

Made for the May 2018 MAGS competition, this game is a turn-based strategy game where you manage a colony of rats. Your purpose? To survive, and expand!

Forage for food, breed, lay low to fool those pesky humans into thinking you've gone, expand your next, upgrade your foraging, trap evasion and digging skills... don't let your food supply run out or your rats all die off, and if you can, expand your colony to a thousand rats to win the game!

Best Non Adventure Game Created with AGS

AGS Panel Rating

This is a good example of a strategy game that is just choosing options and see if the stats go up or down. Unpolished, but good fun.

This little strategy game was surprisingly addictive and fun to play, even though the graphics are simply watching the numbers go up or down. Great sound!

For a MAGS entry this is a really good effot and shows huge potential for development. I played the game to kill 5 minutes. An hour later I was overlord of a huge rat empire. But alas, I greed got the better of me and things fell apart very quickly once the humans upgraded their traps. Give it a go- very simple concept that is easy to pick up and play and the balance feels just right!

Solid strategic game. It's not very difficult but it is rewarding as long as it lasts.
