Funky Lab Rat is a puzzle-platform game that makes use of the PlayStation Move. The player plays a disco-dressed lab rat with a magic wand that has DVD-like powers. The player can pause time and rearrange platforms, rewind time to prevent death, simply reset the level, or can automatically finish the level by fast-forwarding. The goal is to collect a set number of pills and reach the end of the level.
