What is Rules & Rodents?

Piper, a mouse jailed for stealing cheese, must descend through a rat castle in this single-player 2D puzzle adventure. Across thirty-plus rooms, you collect and combine rule powers, dodge traps, and solve boss encounters by manipulating their arenas rather than attacking. Gathering cheese unlocks costumes.

For you if...

+you enjoy short games that still demand careful reasoning

Not for you if...

−you want direct combat rather than solving encounters through rules
