Really nice UI. Good job to jim on the music. Fun idea for this jam.

I enjoyed this game a lot, incredibly ambitious given the time constraints: AI and path finding is not easy to get right in such a short amount of time. I would love to see this fleshed out as a full game as I loved the concept, but there were a lot of issues with the mouse soft-locking randomly that impacted my enjoyment.

The idea is very good but it took me a lot to understand the UI at first! Still, a great game, very good graphics and a lot of fun, congratulations!

The game was lot's of fun and I loved the art style

Awesome game! Though it was easy to distract the mouse permanantly from the cheese, and thus literally making the game run endlessly and kinda breaking the theme, i love your idea! the implementation with graphics and sounds is wonderful and the jumping mouse is so cute <3. Assuming you would find a way to code the mouse to really find the cheese eventually, you would have (and you did potentially!) nailed the theme. Really wonderful and well done!

The color palette, adorable bouncy mouse, and upbeat music were all on point! I had a GOUDA time. It was BRIE-lliant. The most impressive part was the mouse behavior that you coded in such a short time.

Cute idea! I did notice that it would often hop on top of the box I made around the cheese. Since it doesn't eat down, I was able to "win". I don't know if that was intended!

This was such a creative interpretation of the theme! I really enjoyed this game and had a lot of fun in it for quite a while. I stopped when I managed to get the mouse stuck so the game never ended. Also the art style was very cute, good job!

Love it, really great idea! I was disappointed when the mouse couldn't figure out how to get my moldy cheese!!

I think I managed to distract the mouse forever, but this was a great game that I couldn't stop playing until finding a way to break the mouse

Lol, I stuck the mouse forever on my third attempt :-D. OK, this kind of AI is very hard to do in only 3 days, so it's actually already a good job! Nice music, too.

This game is adorable!! Congratulations to every member on the team! Its tons of fun!

Cool take on the theme, definitely impressive how you got the AI to find a way to the end consistently.

Great concept and solid aesthetic! The UI was bit confusing with buying being separate from placing, maybe they could have been combined into one? Oh and the music was great as well, loved the mouse ad libs in there :D

I kept going until I got the mouse "permanently" stuck. Very clever idea. I really enjoyed it. The music got a bit repetitive, but it was fun the first couple of minutes.
