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.
