So much fun! - And incredibly relaxing. 
You see, I am really bad at tower defense and find it stressful; well, as I realised that nothing could go wrong, I got more and more relaxed and really enjoyed playing.

A fun take of tower defense? Even though there's no loose state, it's still quite enjoyable. I liked all the different enemy types. The sound design was nice too. Maybe more detailed backgrounds would be nice, with harder levels. This kinda reminds me of the original Bloons TD which only had a few towers and a few upgrades.

Very fun. I love the mice sprites. There was a very impressive amount of different mice types. Will you add more maps/mice in the future?

Loved it! I love bloons TD so this was up my alley. I really like how the objective isn't to kill the things in the path but to satisfy them with cheese, that's a cool change. Graphics are awesome and music was good.

Great work!

What I liked:

  • The substitution bullet->cheese, hit point->hunger
  • The SFX
  • I won

What can be improved:

  • Background
  • Some more chalenge
  • Different levels path

Overall, I have fun too play, and even got to the end, and I can see all you done, if you play mine, I'm sure you will only see the first room...

Very cheesy game. Loved throwing the cheese at the rats and feeding their hungry mouths. Some background would have been nice. Is it really impossible to lose?

The background is literally from when I first started developing the game lol

When I was adding the king mouse, I kinda forgot about the theme. when I realized it, I had already added it to that game AND it was 8 hours before the deadline.

(Also sorry for taking so long to respond, I saw your comment but forgot to reply)

The fat rats are hilarious. I really had fun, a cool twist to a tower defense game where you do not need to kill anyone. Would be nice to see which workers you have upgraded. Hope you will continue developing it.
