Ratman!

Ratman! is on pest control duty and his task is to swat as many rats as possible while moving left and right. He is equipped with a hammer which he uses to whop the descending rats, while avoiding them and flights of arrows that rain from the heavens.

If a rat makes it to ground level it can go through a hole in the ground to appear under Ratman and poke him with its devil spear. When a life is lost, the hand of god descends from the heavens and pulls you up towards him.
