This game is open source, and you can view the source code here: https://gitlab.com/mpharoah/babelmouse
It doesn't use any game engine or libraries other than emscripten, so you can easily build it yourself from the source code. At least on Linux anyway.

Like the story aspect of the game.
I am not really sure if it was meant to be a rage game like kaizo mario esk, but it definitely feels like it.
Also like the walking animation, its funny.
No, its not meant to be a rage game. Except the Unfair difficulty level, which is, well, unfair.
Great job getting everything working without an engine! I really enjoyed the opening rant! Very cute art and backgrounds! The audio clips were great to hear as well!
Simple cute game! Intro made me laugh, I don’t think I’ve ever heard her cereal rant before.
It is really impressive that this game is made without a game engine. Great Job!
In my personal opinion, it would be so much better if we had just a little more control over Mouse’s jumps. Sometimes, the gaps between blocks can be just wide enough that the jump feels awkward.
Ran into a bug where the game respawned me right on top of nothing, in a way that I was doomed to just take damage again.
Cute game.
Really cute game! Loved the concept and gameplay
i like the idea, and cute art!
I wasn't expecting to get into this game as much as I did. It has quite solid design and good difficulty. I do believe that more clarity with what's going to come would be nice, however. It's still very fun though
This is a cute game, great job! :)) Ironmouse and the way she runs is so cute. Also, I really liked the level design, figuring out how to avoid the falling boulders or blocks was fun. This reminded me of tetris but the player is stuck within the falling blocks! The audio in the beggining was funny and a nice addition. Thank you for your entry :)
Fun little game. I like the progression of the game, especially the falling rock, though a bit more and different warnings about how the rock and the cloud works would be great.
I like how the background implies Ironmouse's shortness haha.
Your music makes me want to
