The expansion of the line drawing genre continues pace.

The latest game - coming just in time for a Halloween-themed release - is Return of Pied Piper.

As you've probably guessed, the characters whose movements you'll be directing are rats and kids.

Rats need to be routed into one of the three coloured city gates of Hamelin, while the kids - who are dressed up in Trick or Treat costumes - need to be routed into one of two coloured caves.

Yes, the Pied Piper is getting his revenge.

Obviously the two can't collide or it's game over. Adding to the complexity are guards - who in this case are dressed as ghosts - who come out of the town and patrol around.

The game, as released, is a pure Survival mode where you have to play for as long as possible.

The first update however will include 50 missions, a multiplayer mode, support for the OpenFeint social network, and a new skin that's more in keeping with the original fairy story.

Return of Pied Piper is out now, priced 99c, €0.79 or 59p. Hit the Buy It! button to go direct to the App Store.
