Rat Protocol is a new pixel art puzzle game from developer Pufferfish Digital and retro publisher EastAsiaSoft. It’s due for release on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on June 24th, priced at $4.99. Rat Protocol has been described by the publisher as “weird science and block-pushing puzzle mechanics combine for a brainteasing adventure”.
When an experiment unexpectedly grants humanoid strength and intelligence to a lab rat, the scientists in charge decide to test the limits of their creation’s newfound abilities. Players will guide the lab rat through increasingly tricky chambers by pushing crates, blocking dangerous laser beams, activating switches, and detonating explosives. They’ll need to find the right order to clear obstacles so the lab rat can reach the key cards, open the doorways, and proceed to the next test.
