ChuChu Rocket!

ChuChu Rocket!

The object of the game is to guide one or more mice ("ChuChus") across a board to one or more targets while avoiding cats ("KapuKapus") that roam the board. The mice and cats move in predictable paths, always turning right when they hit a wall head-on, following corners, or turning around when they hit a dead end. In the multiplayer mode of ChuChu Rocket! up to four players simultaneously place arrows on the playing field and try to direct mice into their own rockets and cats into the other players' rockets (each cat that reaches a rocket removes a certain percentage of the mice in it). Each player can only have three arrows on the screen at a time and cannot place them on the other players' arrows or their own arrows. The arrows disappear over time or can be removed by a player placing his fourth arrow (which makes the first arrow disappear and leaves three). Although the concept is simple, it quickly becomes frenetic due to the relentless speed of the mice and the four players fighting over them.
