How to play Rat Pile

  1. Aim and drop. Slide your finger or move the mouse, then let go or click. On a keyboard, the arrow keys aim and Space drops.
  2. Match two. When two rats that are the same touch, they snuggle into the next rat up. Two Beans make a Nosy, two Loaves make a Donut, and so on up to the Cuddle pile.
  3. Keep the pile under the line. If the pile stays above the dotted line for two seconds, the hammock is full and the round is over.

Bigger rats score more, and merges that land quickly one after another count as a chain for extra points. Your best score and the rats you have met are kept on this device, so the ladder fills up a little more each time you play. Two Cuddle piles together make the rarest rat of all.

Why the rats pile up

Anyone who keeps rats knows the joke: hang five hammocks and every rat will squeeze into the same one. Rats are social and like to sleep up high and close together, which is why rats love hammocks so much. New to rats?
