Pied Typer by No Grapes Games

The village of Hameln has been overrun by rats. Luckily, our hero Comet has a magic flute that can send signals to the rats and send them packing.

Type the command above each rat's head to send them packin'! Make sure to use the arrow keys to check to the left and right. Rats love sneaking up on unsuspecting flautists!

Seriously, while the idea isn't new, it's executed brilliantly. In my opinion, the camera movement detracts from the gameplay. Instead, they could have made the mouse girls appear more often, and the camera couldn't be moved.
Great game, thanks!
I realized that there was a camera where you can look around just in time to see a few new pals right next to me in need of a good dooting into the stratosphere. Good ending is very cute. Dug it.
I must ask though... If the rats "meant no harm", then how come that when you loose you get a big red "death" sign, hmm? I wouldn't call that "no harm" at all, haha!
This is a very good entry, congrats! I actually wouldn't mind to play more adventures with Comet - as in, continuing the story with the magical flute. Pretty fun!
