Great little puzzle platformer! The last fight was really well done and the dialogue was charming too.

Cute little story and sprites, I love these types of games as well! Little Sidenote though, you can skip the final puzzle if you jump off Mouse’s head. (I cheated)

Love the little mouse.
Really liked the dynamic between the two characters. Wish we had more interactions between mouse and little mouse.

There where some rougher edges though.
some tiles don't really line up and you can get soft locked in the second level when you pushed the box over and close the gate, then jump to the left while Ironmouse is on the right side of the gate. But at that points that's a skill issue.

Overall a fun puzzle platformer.

Ahh, I just replicated the soft lock and I totally did not expect this would happen when I designed the small scenario. Thanks for the feedback!

Nice, short little game. And the story is cute. I have a few criticisms though.

The controls can feel way too heavy or slippery in certain parts. IN the first area, it was too easy to bonk against the ceiling and hard to get to one of the levers. Floating platforms in general in the first area were hard to land on. Maybe it is because the mouse’s hitbox isn’t obvious.

In the first area, it isn’t really obvious where to go because everywhere looks the same and the stage seems to go in every direction. On top of that, it’s not obvious when a switch is in an “on” or “off” position so it is hard to tell at a glance if I have already activated a switch or not. And it is not clear which switch interacts with which door. Thankfully these issues only affect the first stage.

When I mentioned controls feeling slippery, the elevator section is a good example. The first time I was there, I slipped off of the elevator and wasted a lot of time trying to get back up.

Thanks for the feedback. It is true the switches wasn't given much thought, considering that the player can't see the gate opening when interacting with the second switch. Understandable for the elevator part, the second level was a bit rushed in terms of design choices haha.

I guess some directions on the first level is needed too. Thanks for playing.

The platforming was simplistic but satisfying and it has a cute story

Thanks for your entry, I had lots of fun playing!! :D

I really enjoyed playing through this entire game - the puzzles and the level design was so good. Using the switches and jumping from platform to platform during the boss fight were all really fun. The little mouse was adorable as well. Really well thought out, I wish you the best of luck!
