Our take on Sneaky Rat
The store presentation gives notable space to the soundtrack and immersion, while the actual activity is a compact set of object-manipulation puzzles built around avoiding light and reaching the cheese.
What is Sneaky Rat?
Sneaky Rat is a puzzle game about guiding a rat to cheese without letting a cat spot it.
Light creates danger, so movement must be planned around illuminated areas. Levels include movable mirrors, gates, boxes, and additional mirror-based obstacles.
