Subrats for the iPhone and iPod Touch Video Review

Previously I mentioned how much I enjoy playing Flight Control: a game in which you play an air traffic controller, and have to guide planes to a safe landing. Today's game has a similar concept, but moves the action underground. In Subrats, you must guide wayward rats from one side of the screen to a trash can on the other side. Three subway tracks stand in the way. You draw the path you want the rat to follow, then have to pay attention, make sure your plans don't change when a train approaches. For added risk, rats can safely navigate under a train IF the train is completely stopped.

While there are some interesting extras (like the emergency stop to bring all trains to a halt) the game doesn't feel as polished as Flight Control, and the rounds are much shorter, taking longer to get to more challenging levels.

Here's a look:
