Play Ratatouille (G)(sUppLeX) Online

Ratatouille for the Nintendo DS came out in 2007, published by THQ. It was part of that wave of licensed games that tried to do something a little different on the handheld, using the hardware in ways the console versions couldn't. It felt very much of its time, a solid effort to translate the film's charm into a playable experience.

You control Remy the rat, navigating through detailed kitchens from a top-down perspective. The main goal is to prepare dishes by first gathering ingredients, which involves sneaking past human chefs and using precise touchscreen motions to chop, stir, and season. The pacing is methodical at first, but it quickly becomes frantic as later stages introduce multiple chefs patrolling at once, making evasion a real challenge. It's a game that makes you feel clever when a plan comes together, and genuinely panicked when the kitchen staff spots you.
