Play Rodent's Revenge (Windows 3.1) Online

Game Overview

Rodent’s Revenge is this weirdly addictive little puzzle game from the Windows 3.1 days where you play as a mouse trying to outsmart cats. The goal’s simple—push blocks to trap them—but the execution gets brutal fast. One wrong move and you’re either cornered by a cat, stuck in a sinkhole, or worse, stepping on a mousetrap (instant game over, no mercy).

What’s cool is how the levels escalate. You start with just a couple of lazy cats, but that ticking clock means reinforcements show up if you take too long. Suddenly, you’re scrambling to adjust your strategy while dodging flying yarn balls (yes, really). The blocks are your only weapon, but some won’t budge, forcing you to work around awkward layouts.

It’s got that classic “just one more try” vibe, even when the later levels feel borderline unfair. And eating the cheese left behind by trapped cats? Weirdly satisfying. If you’ve got nostalgia for early PC gaming or just love a tough puzzle, this one’s worth digging up.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
