rats&spearsRats&Spears is a cartoon-like game where rats are going mad about javelin-throwing.

They live not far from your house. Just over the fence from the last cottage on your street there's a dump.

Not a romantic place, dear Sirs and Madams, but that's where they live. Recently these creatures have decided to organize their own Olympics to let the world hear of them.

We don't know why but javelin-throwing seems to become rats favorite sport. Are you ready to reincarnate in one of them and master your throwing skills?

The game is easy to play, but a bit tricky to get a good score on. Like so many games of this category, once you get your groove on, it gets easier- tap at exactly ‘these’ points to get the best combination of speed and angle for the top scores. The artwork is a nice balance of simplicity and detail that does not chew up resources needlessly or make it awkward to see.

This is planned to be the first game in what appears to be a planned series of rat-themed olympics, which calls to mind the fun but warped series of Yetisport.org games. Other games by Absolutist suggest that any future games in the soon-to-be famous Mouse Sports Network would be worth a look. This is a fun, simple game that I like mostly because it is such a whimsical story. It ain’t new, but it is something different.
