White Shoe Media released Subrats Friday, an iPhone game that has the player helping the rats eat. We wouldn’t want the rats to starve, now, would we? It seems the problem is that the food the rats need is always on the other side of the subway tracks, and you have to help them get there.

“Keep an eye on the garbage and money trains to see what they might drop,” the company said. “Prove that you can survive living on the edge under trains made from tons of steel, or use your reflexes to pull the emergency brake to stop the action. And be sure to enjoy the different subway tunes, strange sounds, and the comments of daily commuters, tourists, and ‘true’ subway riders.”

Subrats features:

• Engaging non-stop gameplay
• Rats, trains, special items, and more
• Sophisticated, yet simple controls
• Creative and detailed graphics
• Realistic lighting effects
• Attention-grabbing sounds
• Hilarious voiceovers
• Multiple soundtracks
• OpenFeint leaderboard and achievements
• Brag e-mails (to your friends)
• Never-ending fun

Device Requirements:

• iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
• Requires iPhone OS 3.1 or later
• 15.3 MB

The game is priced at US$0.99, and it is available now on the App Store.
