This is so fun! I love the screen when I get hit by a mouse trap

Great music, great sprites, super fun (if a little hard). *Chef's kiss*

Very cute. Loved the spinning mouse animation when he jumped. Definitely a hard game, I wasn't sure how to finish it. The death cards were chef's kiss.

The death screens are fantastic, great work!

What a wonderful looking game! It also plays very smooth, it's a delight to move around. The 3D death animations are truly a cherry on top, looks great! :thumbsup:

A humorous game, the animations are cool!

A bit of slippery controls, but understanding the mechanics, you can overlook it.

If you simplify it a lot - the second mouse is only needed for the bridge, the fact that the game needs to be explored on your own is very good, but it would be worth hinting that there is an additional action on the S key.

Nice Game! Tough I have to admit it was quite an ordeal to finish it with my meager skills...

The best game I've come across in the last 24 hours! Fun animations, engaging gameplay, and pleasant music and graphics. 10/10 :fire: :fire: :fire:

A great game !! I loved how you tried to make it mobile friendly : was a real treat to play on a touchscreen.

I liked your various "cutscenes" animation, they are really slick & Smooth.

I'm still not sure of what's the point of the mouse switching mechanism however. And the goal could have been made clearer at the start also.

The music and sfx were great !

Congratulation for your entry !

Good matching with theme and nice graphics aswell

Aww, the mouse is so cute! I was just having a hard time running around though and landed on quite a bit of traps, the mouse can definitely fly around on you and I kept switching between the two! I was also a bit unsure what to do, but I really did like how this game looks and presented the lose scenarios. Well done!

Really fun little platformer, I love the early 2000's 3D animations of the various mouse fates. The game graphics were really good as well, it'd be great to see this expanded out!

Very great polished game with awesome graphics.

natahan 2024-10-10 22:22

Hard but fun game. I like the deaths animations ☺️

Nice short coop game. Got to hit traps and failures before finally able to deliver the correct fruit.

This is a well polished game for a game jam! great graphics, good sound, good controls, great animations. It's a little tough but not too bad. Nice work!

Very cute game! I tried multiple ways to get the right apple to the rat king, I attempted to somehow jump-push the apple over the pipes underground, but that always led to the down-the-pipe ending (although I got really close one time). In the end, I used the trusty rope-over-fridge strategy, that one did the trick. What really stands out in this game is the charming presentation: The mouse animations, especially the death screens with the squishy mouse are super fun. The house itself is great, with all its poison and nuclear waste bins, it really drives home the death trap vibe in a fun way. Awesome game, great job!

Loved the visuals, especially the death screen, great atmosphere. The actual platforming wasn't super fun but I think this is still really solid jam game.

bzoo345 2024-10-13 15:10

very nice game! I pretty big noob at this kind of games, but it looks realy great! very nice work!

Cool game and great art. Unfortunately had to stop at the second (level) because no matter how carefully I jumped, I always hit the mousetrap.

garys 2024-10-13 16:01

Beautiful graphics and audio. I love the death animations and the gameplay is good - but I couldn't figure out how to use the rope. Or indeed... if there _is_ a rope? It's mentioned in the instructions and the comments, but nothing I pressed would make it appear. So, yeah... I couldn't finish the first level. I'm guessing I need to get the red apple over the other side of the level somehow?

johnnysix 2024-10-13 22:11

@garys and others who didn't discover the rope mechanic, it works on and solid outward facing edge, like on the Fridge or Bin and pressing down, it's still super buggy, but should hoist anything below that edge, like an apple or another mouse.

I did a quick demo playthrough here for those that didn't make it to the end . :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMsaro3VkpU

Nice game. Although it does give a compelling argument why there actually aren't any mice in the frikkin chemical lab. And man, the rat king is picky when it comes to apples.

conor-wilson 2024-10-21 13:36

Art is absolutely top notch. Loved this one :)

Great atmosphere, I got flashbacks to rescue rangers on NES :smile: rr.png
