Subrats Halloween is like a weird combination of Frogger and Flight Control. In this app, you must help rats to safety on the other side of the subway station.

This is not an easy task. There are multiple subway tracks blocking the rat’s way, which, of course, carry trains that can flatten your rat.

So you’ll definitely need to be careful. But not too careful. If you take up too much time, your rat will begin walking on it’s own; you can still change the rat’s path, if he is not run over by time you notice.

If your rat is caught when a train is coming (you can tell as a track’s green light will turn red, indicating danger), you can use the emergency brake, up to three times.

This mode is the classic mode. There is also a crazy mode.

In the crazy mode, there are many more rats. There are many more trains too. Oh, and now you are getting some rats to one side and other rats (which may be either faster or slower than normal) to the other side! If this sounds like disaster, it is! It is quite… crazy… but you are sure to enjoy one of these modes.

One thing that you won’t enjoy, though, is the amount of obnoxious ads. “Visit our sponsor and earn an extra life!” There are ads all throughout this app. You can go pro for $1, but you may not want to. This game may be fun at first, but it doesn’t last. It quickly becomes repetitive.

It is nothing in comparison to Flight Control, and it just doesn’t have that polish and “Ooh-I-gotta-beat-my-high-score, I-can’t-put-the-game-down” addictiveness.

What is this all ABOUT?
You have to guide the subway's toughest, yet least appreciated inhabitants, to garbage cans across the dangerous tracks. But watch out for speedy passenger trains, puddles, poison, blackouts, and the vicious vacuum train. Keep an eye on the money and, for sure, garbage trains to see what useful things they might drop. Prove that you can survive living on the edge under trains made from tons of steel. Sometimes pulling the emergency brake will be your only option to make it...

Various subway tunes, a lot of strange sounds, and the comments of daily commuters, tourists, and "true" subway riders make this game a unique experience.
