E.R.A.S.

Electric Rat Arcade Simulator is putting you in the shoes of the Manny, Manager of a rundown arcade. To keep the arcade in business you must not let the customers be disturbed. They have to finish the entire game on one screen. Chase the rats away from the cables running from the wall to the machines. You can replace one piece of missing cable, BUT if the gap becomes too wide the connection is lost beyond repair.

When a customer is unable to finish a game they will switch to another machine. Once the server in the middle shuts down, you have 4 seconds to reconnect it - if you fail that task, you lose.


Movement - Arrowkeys
Replace Cable - Space

The game is fun and original nonethless.

Fun, but for some reason I couldn't replace certain cables. Furthermore, it would be nice to see where cables used to be, via some faded-out cable over an eaten cable.

Cool idea. It's very hard to catch the rats. =D

Really original idea. You have to keep your eye on a lot of things at once so the game doesn't get boring easily. Being able to replace cables is nice as well, makes things more fair!

I actually thought this was a really cool game! The music was great, and the gameplay was frantic. There were a few bugs in regards to how the electricity flow worked though.
