The interface

Attention! In this game you'll find several buttons. Master them, to become a successful leader!

Ratbucks, Cheese and Souls



Ratbucks are the ingame currency. You can buy Ratbucks, but you will also get some free ratbucks as a reward in game. Cheese is more important. You need it to grow your rats. You can steal it from other rat leaders, but you will also get some cheese for free. If you knockout enemy rats, you can collect their souls. If the soul counter is fully charged, you will get a brand-new baby rat!

2. Power Level



The number with the crown up in the left symbolizes your current Power Level. Level up your rats and increase your rat gang to make progress.

3. Enemy Rats



See the rat faces to the left and right? They symbolize enemy hideouts. The bigger the head, the more powerful the enemy! Click on the faces to visit hideouts. You can steal cheese and knockout enemy rats there. If you are in an enemy hideout and want to get back home, click on the green arrow down on the right. Grey faces symbolize regular enemies, red faces symbolize enemies that already looted you and blue faces symbolize neighbor rat hideouts.



If you have been very busy looting your enemies and there are no more rat faces to click on, simply wait or click on the plus symbol to buy new hideouts to visit with ratbucks. You can buy ratbucks, but you will also get them for free in game.

4. Extra Rat
See the purple extra rat down to the left? You can get it if you invite a new player to The Rats Online! Click on the button to do so!
