Rats Of The Maze

Object Of Game

To complete all ten levels before you run out of lives or time. To complete a level, you need to destroy all the factories in that level while avoiding the rats. You need to do this before time runs out. Once you have destroyed the factories, you can blow up the exit and leave the level. Each level is a different maze.

Other Items

Factories - The factories are where the rats come from. Destroy the factories so they cannot produce more rats. You have three sizes of rats: small, medium, and large.
Rats - They come from the factories. If a rat touches you, your health goes down. After three touches, you lose a life.
Tank - This is what you move around the maze in.
Traps - If a rat or rats run into a trap, you get ten times the points as opposed to shooting them. Also large rats that run into a trap cannot release smaller rats. Running over a trap will not hurt you in your tank.
Poison - If a rat or rats run into poison, you get ten times the points as opposed to shooting them. Also the large rats that run into a trap cannot release smaller rats.
