Ratatouille is a platformer released in 2007 for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Helixe and published by THQ.

It landed about 6 years into the GBA's life. Other notable GBA releases from 2007 include TMNT, Arctic Tale and Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Burning Earth.

Helixe also made Star Wars: The New Droid Army, Cars and The Incredibles for the GBA.

Ratatouille is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to run, jump and explore
  • you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
  • you've played the GBA hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Ratatouille is like

Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.

Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
