{{GameInfobox | developer = Christopher Lee Fraley | publisher = Microsoft Corporation | na_rel = {{Release|1991|||NA|Microsoft Windows}} | genre = Puzzle | features = Single-player | platforms = Microsoft Windows | input = Keyboard,Mouse }} '''''Rodent's Revenge''''' is a [[computer puzzle game|puzzle]] [[video game]], created in [[1991 in video gaming|1991]] by Christopher Lee Fraley. It was distributed as part of the ''[[Microsoft Entertainment Pack for Windows]]''.<ref name="about_window">About window of Rodent's Revenge, Christoper Lee Fraley, 1991</ref> The player takes on the role of a mouse, with the objective being to trap [[cat]]s by pushing blocks around, whilst avoiding obstacles. ==Levels== To win a level, the mouse must stay alive and trap all the [[cat]]s using the movable blocks. Doing so changes the cats into cheese, which the mouse can eat for extra points. The player is given three lives before their game is over. There are 50 [[level]]s, which get increasingly harder, but the player is allowed to start playing at any level. The difficulty of each level is determined by several factors. ''[[Wikipedia:Sinkhole|Sink holes]]'' trap the mouse for a few seconds.<ref name=help_system>Rodent's Revenge help system, Christopher Lee Fraley, 1991</ref> ''[[Mousetrap|Mouse trap]]s'' will kill the mouse if it accidentally walks into one.<ref name="help_system" /> ''Flying Balls of [[Yarn]]'' will kill the mouse on contact.<ref name="help_system" /> The number of ''Movable Blocks'' will determine how difficult it is to trap the cats, while the ''Unmovable Blocks'' make it hard to move blocks around and hinder navigation. During each level a clock ticks away until it reaches a certain point, which is represented by a blue line. When this happens more cats are spawned into the level, making it more difficult, but also increasing the potential reward. After the new cats have spawned, the blue line moves further around the clock and it resumes ticking.<!-- When the blue line reaches the 12 o'clock position, no more cats will be created, although the hands of the clock continue to move.{{Fact}} --> ==Score== Points are awarded for completing a level and for eating pieces of cheese. The player will be awarded extra points based on how quickly they complete the level and the difficulty involved.<ref name="help_system" /> The best [[score]]s are displayed on the [[high score]] table, which shows the best games overall and from the past 24 hours. ==See also== * ''[[Beast]]'': A similar game, created in 1984. * ''[[Microsoft Entertainment Pack for Windows]]'' ==References== {{Reflist}} ==External Links== * <s>[ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/deskapps/games/public/AAS/RODNTARC.EXE Rodent's Revenge] at [[Microsoft]]'s Public [[FTP server]] (Requires a number of [[Visual Basic]] DLLs to run on modern platforms)</s>{{Dead link}} * [http://reynoldssoft.com/rodentgame/rodent_applet.htm Rodent's Revenge] online (web browser) {{Microsoft Entertainment}}
