Summary
Rats! – sometimes referred to by its quirky subtitle Reservoir Rat – is a compact 2D platformer that packs a surprising amount of charm into the tiny Game Boy Color screen. The game’s side‑scrolling stages feel crisp, with each jump and enemy encounter delivering that classic handheld punch‑and‑run rhythm.
Even without a sprawling backstory, the level design nudges you into tight corridors and open rooftops, encouraging quick reflexes and a bit of trial‑and‑error. I find the pixel art surprisingly expressive for a system that often feels limited, and the chiptune soundtrack keeps the pace lively as you chase the mischievous rodents through each quirky environment.
