About this game

Rats race through a junkyard collecting bottle caps to build a rocket ship to the cheese moon. Move your rats along different junkyard paths, collecting resources and delivering them to your rocket project. Advance all four rats at different speeds since moving them in groups is more efficient but limits flexibility. The junkyard paths offer different resources and bonuses, creating meaningful route decisions. Family-weight with a charming theme that kids and adults both enjoy.
