Very cute and fun little game, I survived for 3 mins 30s approx. Nice take on the theme. Good work on the visuals and audio.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
There are a ton of mice that have just broken in to your house, now that's chaos... right???
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, yes indeed.

The game is simple yet really fun to play. I quite like the art style and the particle effect when you throw the mice out. Great job!
Neat take on the theme and good amount of juice on the destroying the mice! Did find the controls a bit slippy which was frustrating when trying to aim the mice, also its probably worth putting somewhere on the page that the music is originally by rezoner https://opengameart.org/content/happy-arcade-tune, other than that really cool game :)
Cool idea and great execution. I was kiiiind of able to cheese it for a while by simply going up and down above the exit and only pushing the mice that were building up directly below me, but at some point the rate at which the mice kept coming in became too high. I had fun though, good job! :)
Such a cute game! nothing to complain about this one, it was just a little bit difficult for me haha. Congrats on the superb visuals tho!
Sweet little game. I agree with some of the comments about gameplay. However, weirdly I found myself hooked for much longer than I expected. I think moving it over to a points system which is displayed to the user at the end of the game would be more favourable. Having mice worth different amounts (golden rat etc.) That way it could incentivise players to make decision on which mice to focus on. I think powerups could be great in this. Super size or temporary mice run away you, a lot of potential. Overall, really good work. Well done.
This is a charming little game. Audio and graphics are just perfect. Gameplay however, I found a movement pattern that would make you safe for ever, went over 5 minutes and never had over 8 mice in the room at the same time, so I'd say gameplay itself is the only thing to look into. Mayme make it a little bit more complex, add more content... But it was a nice sweet and short experience to find this one. Well done!!
Really like this game and a very catchy song, thanks to you this will be in my head for the whole day :(
Hehe I like this! If you want to make this game better maybe look into 'steering behaviour' or 'boids', to create mice that can even run around obstacles and still find the cat :)
great first game. The thumbnail is cute, music is catchy (a bit short maybe?).
You put in the right features to make it a bit "juicy" (the screen shake hits just right) but i found the game itself just not interesting enough. Work a bit on the design and you can make mini-games like this (for jams or not!) and be a great solo dev.
