In this browser simulation game, you have landed a new job as rat catcher at a mega-city. It is your job to keep the rat count low.

Each day, the city gives you money for rat catching expenses. It's up to you to spend the money wisely by deciding what rat-catching items to buy and use.

The city has rat counting technology. You will view a subsection of your city's sewer on the screen. 

Your goal is to get the city's total rat count down below the target number. If at any time the rat count rises too high, you lose your job. Do you have what it takes to be a successful rat catcher?
