The object of the game is to guide one or more mice ("ChuChus") around a board into one or more goals while avoiding cats ("KapuKapus") roaming the board. The mice and cats all move in predictable paths by always turning right when hitting a wall head on, by following corners or by turning around when in a dead end. ChuChu … Read more
The object of the game is to guide one or more mice ("ChuChus") around a board into one or more goals while avoiding cats ("KapuKapus") roaming the board. The mice and cats all move in predictable paths by always turning right when hitting a wall head on, by following corners or by turning around when in a dead end. ChuChu Rocket!'s multiplayer mode revolves around up to four players placing arrows on the level at once, trying to direct mice into their own rockets and cats into other players' rockets (any cat that reaches a rocket removes a percentage of the mice within). Each player can only have three arrows on-screen at a time and cannot place them on other players' arrows or their own arrows. Arrows would disappear over time, or could be removed by a player placing his fourth arrow (which would eliminate the first arrow placed, thus leaving three). Although a simple concept, this quickly becomes frenetic with the relentless speed of the mice and four players fighting over them. Read less

I read about ChuChu Rocket! on an old article about puzzle games. It's really fun! I found several levels in this surprisingly difficult. You basically have a grid of mice, monsters, walls, and launch sites. You hit play and watch the pieces go, and you have to use directional tiles to direct the whole set up so the mice get on the rocket and the monsters don't. Sounds simple, but some of these took me over an hour to solve.

The sprites are very cute and fun to watch and the interface is done really well too. Looks like a pixellated computer screen similar to Warioware's design. There are a lot of other modes; in one you can design your own levels and sprites and in another you can play multiplayer with up to four people, but I was unable to do that because I'm using an emulator.

I'd definitely recommend this if you like puzzle or logic games.

Played some more ChuChu Rocket with friends the other day. We all had a blast as usual, laughing and yelling, hooting and hollering. I'll always call it the best 4-player game ever made, lol.
