Development
The game took several years to be fully developed. During this time it was given different temporary names such as "Rat", "Cats & Rats", before finally settling on 'Rat Attack'. While the game was still in development, early versions of the game were sent to news media resulting in early development screenshots, of levels not included in the game.
A series of six animated, flash videos was also produces, each telling the story of one of the 'Scratch Cats'. Then shortly before its release another early development version of the game was released as a Demo for the "Official UK PlayStation Magazine".

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“I can see ... only one safe rule for the historian: that he should recognize in the development of human destinies the play of the contingent and the unforeseen.”
—H.A.L. (Herbert Albert Laurens)
“For decades child development experts have erroneously directed parents to sing with one voice, a unison chorus of values, politics, disciplinary and loving styles. But duets have greater harmonic possibilities and are more interesting to listen to, so long as cacophony or dissonance remains at acceptable levels.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
“Such condition of suspended judgment indeed, in its more genial development and under felicitous culture, is but the expectation, the receptivity, of the faithful scholar, determined not to foreclose what is still a question—the “philosophic temper,” in short, for which a survival of query will be still the salt of truth, even in the most absolutely ascertained knowledge.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
