The PlayStation version was re-released on GOG in 2025. Rat Attack! is an arcade-style puzzle game for the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation.
The Story Behind Rat Attack!
A series of six animated Flash videos were also produced, each telling the story of one of the 'Scratch Cats'. However, after the duo manage to escape their defeat, Julius afterwards revealing that they also taken King Scarab with them. It was first released on the PlayStation in 1999, and later on the Nintendo 64 in 2000 (the latter console version originally had a slated May 1999 release date in Europe before it was delayed); it was later ported to Microsoft Windows in 2005 in Italy, and in July 2007 in the UK.
During this time it was given different temporary names such as "Rat", "Cats & Rats", before finally settling on Rat Attack. The title took several years to be fully developed. Each cat has different abilities when the game starts, as well as their own special attack which can be used if they get a certain number of 'Cat Coins'.
How Rat Attack! Plays
At the end of each level, the player receives bonuses reflecting how well they had done. The object of the game is to clear each level of the allotted number of rats and continue on to the next room. Other effects are making the player able to grow large and stomp on the rats, to run much faster, or make the lasso bigger.
In single-player mode a single Scratch Cat enters a room, from its walls pours an endless supply of rats. The player must catch and eliminate a certain number of these before a door will appear taking them to the next room. Each area has several rooms, in its particular theme.
Why Players Still Load It Up
Along the way, they meet another mysterious cat in the clutches of King Scarab, known as Banubis in the original PlayStation version, and Atomicat in the Nintendo 64 port. N64 Magazine said that the N64 version was a "Simple, well executed puzzle-em-up, with cats trying to catch rats." Fran Mirabella III of IGN described the gameplay and premise of catching rats and disposing of them as being similar to Ghostbusters. Its theme is about a group of 'Scratch Cats' stopping an invasion of 'evil mutant space rats'.
Over forty years on, they have returned to earth and immediately commenced with plans for world domination, amassing a huge army of rats with instructions to destroy everything in sight. The Scratch Cats are made up of the following members: However, after some incident in space, the rats had been mutated and gained super-intelligence.
