How does your game represent Mode?
You alternate between Escape Mode and Berserk Mode.
During Escape Mode you have to run away from the enemies and not get hit, while during Berserk Mode enemies run away from you and you have to chase them to destroy them. The soundtrack was also written with different musical modes in mind for the different themes.

Score of 111500. Like liked going berserk mode. Felt great. Good graphics and good music. My game Monkey Mode seems to have a similar idea with the mode part of the game.
Very fun game that was easy to get the hang of.
lovely art, does the game get harder as the score increases?
Unfortunately not! We didn't really have time to add that in even if it would've been relatively easy, as you can see we only managed to submit like one hour before the deadline ๐
Cool concept and great art execution. The character is so cute. The main loop is really easy to pick up and I felt like I was in the zone.
I think it wasn't immediately obvious to me that you can disarm the mousetraps with berserk mode. I thought you were supposed to avoid them altogether or lure enemies to step on them.
I really like the art style of the game, the rat is very reactive and has nice animations (the different hit stun animations especially) and the game is smooth to play and feels good. Turning into the yoked rat to beat up the cyborg cats was great, though I really wanted another meaty animation for when you squish them. All around cool game, great job!
Excellent work! The pun in the name notwithstanding, I had a lot of fun plaing this one. Capped out at about 38k points, once I gt the hang of it... The visuals were great and the HTML browser version played just fine on a potato laptop running linux. Great entry!
Thanks for rating //roboMODE! congratulations on Mouse Musculus, I loved it man... what visual art (a lesson in contrast between light and purple-dark)! I liked the music too. I would love to do a job with you guys: If you need music and SFX, just say hello and we can talk! Best of luck, cheers!
A nice take on the Pacman concept, with good visuals and a nice gameplay!
Keep up the good work!
Very cute game, I love the art. The dynamic of hunted becoming hunter is cool as well. Nice job!
I like the art, berserk mode caught me off guard lmao. Had an issue where the hearts were desynced to my HP and I died with one heart left
good game!
Very fun concept! Love BIG mouse :D
the art is sooo good. its really polished. the music is nice. the gameplay is fun. i didn't read the description and i started collecting cheese only to be met with Berserk mode and i curb stomped the cats haha. I really enjoyed playing this. constant action. great job here!
Lots of fun! Game looks amazing. I do wish it sounded better. Very original and I love Berserk MODE!
Art is phenomenal
Some issues I found were:
Amazing job team ^^ Well done.
The game is somewhat bugging on the web, I barely can get to move right there :(
I really adore the mouse, though. It's very adorable. The gameplay is a simple loop, and might need more objective than "staying alive for long to get high score", but the base is there and I feel it really can get expanded upon it. Great work!
thank you for the feedback! We didn't wanna overscope too much since it's the first time we're working together and also the first jam for two of us, but you're definitely right in that the gameplay loop is very bare bones. We had other ideas to potentially implement that eventually got scrapped so we could focus on polishing the core compact gameplay as much as possible
The most important thing to know when you're working for a jam is knowing where your game scope should stop at on your capabilities and get it into playable state. You got the right thing and priority to do! Polishing can always be done after the base is there. Good job on that!
I don't get why other people are having a better experience on Windows than me. I will just blame my crappy computer. YOUR GAME IS AMAZING. The music is good, I can listen to it all day. The art and animations are just wow!! The game crashed a lot but that does not matter. Amazing. Well done.
thank you, and I'm really sorry about the crashes. Something about the Godot collision system that I found out about hours before deadline and could not manage to fix in time ๐
the art is fantastic!!! Love the transition to berserk mode; also love the sounds of all the various enemies and could honestly listen to the music all day!!
i'm glad you liked it :D
Beautiful artstyle and i love the pacman interpretation its really interesting. I enjoyed it a good bit! Good job dude!
thanks!
Really nice entry :)
I had a bit of trouble playing it in the browser so I downloaded it as suggested, which I can only recommend to everyone reading! The artstyle is really lovely - berserk mouse looks badass! The atmosphere is great, the concept simple but endearing. Really had a good time!
thanks a ton! I'm glad you liked it
