Rat Splat!
This is a homebrew game, run on Gameboy Color. Original version: John Marshall . Tansoft - Tangerine Oric-1/Oric Atmos, 1983. Created with GB-Studio 2.0.0 beta5!
Also available for download in .CIA format for the Nintendo 3DS virtual console!
In the sewers the rats have been multiplying for years and so a rat cull has been organised. You have been chosen to carry out this gruesome task. You will have to kill the rats by hitting them with your "ACME Patent Rat Killing Hammer". You will only be able to hit a rat when it is directly beneath the hammer, so fast reactions are essential. Unfortunately in the sewers lives an aggressive monster which has sentimental feelings towards the rats and will get very angry if you hurt his furry friends. By pressing a key you can swap the hammer for an aerosol can, this will allow you to kill the monster. The cheese is used as bait to attract the rats and must be protected. If you kill a rat when it has begun eating some cheese then the cheese will be saved. Your aim is to kill 16 rats but if you take too long the smell of the cheese will overpower you . You will die if you are touched by the monster, overpowered by the smell or if all cheese is eaten.
Good luck!

Since the Oric is not supported there, any plans on making an achievement set for RetroAchievements? Same with your ports of C16 games?
Hi. I'm sorry, but I don't understand your question. Could you phrase it a little differently and in more detail?
RetroAchievements.org is a website where you can earn achievements for retro games via emulation. You could even sign up for a dev role to create your own achievement sets. Some homebrew developers even made achievement sets for their own games, too.
Game Boy and GBC are supported, but Commodore 16, Oric and ZX Spectrum aren't supported. I was wondering if you could consider making achievement sets for your GB and GBC ports of C16 games.
Hi. Thank you very much for the more information, I will take a look and take care of it of course. Thanks!!
To follow up on my question, these videos should give you a brief idea on what I am talking about.
No real rats have been harmed during the production of this game!
:) Oh my! Indeed. This should have been written out, but already in the 1983 version.
