Really nice, did sometimes feel a little hopeless if the cat things saw you and kept following you.

Really cool game! It feels like a cool extension of those old flash games like interactive buddy with lots of potential for developing further. You could add more items in the maze that could be used to evolve the mouse into different species that would provide different stat bonuses. Overall a very solid entry! Well done!

The Last DropI love the little creature designs and the enemies in the maze stop you from just hugging the left wall. At least until you have enough health to not worry about that.

EL TRAIN GEMUNice game! Very unique and creative, I enjoyed it quite a bit.
I was really curious what would happen at the end and a little disappointed to just see a "you win" message - what happened to eating the colleague??? Lol. Also, I wish there was a bit more choice on the growth scene - brush and dance don't do anything right? These are all minor things of course for a jam game.
I really liked the touch of the logs and the text written in them is quite good.
Great job overall!

Le pissenlit 🌬️🌼The game is interesting, I rated multiple games and of all the games I played this game idea was unique! For some reason my mouse died in the maze for no reason although I was avoiding the (monster) at all costs.

The PhoenixHi, thank you for playing our game and for your review!
To quickly clarify, the mouse has three stats: health, speed, and lifespan. The health is how much damage you can take from enemies and the lifespan is how many seconds you can survive in the maze for (represented by the timer on the screen). If either the mouse's health or its lifespan reach zero, the mouse will die. This is why the mouse died even though you avoided the enemies.
(If you were dying before the lifespan or health reached zero, please let us know, since that is a bug.)
My mouse didn't look too well, in fact it was a bit creepy with all those red eyes, especially when I brushed it . :-) Interesting mix of genres.
