Nice game :). It was quite satisfying to line all the books up to get to the end

I got bored quickly.

Quite nice! I enjoyed that little bit of Jenga going on inside the closet. It took me a few seconds to realize how to get things to stack and yes it would have been nice to be able to move a little faster. But man, that mouse is one heck of a tough cookie, carrying books and such!

Nice job! I built a tower of books almost to the top of the desk then jumped off onto the trampoline to get the extra height to reach it.

Developer

Nice! Always exciting to hear how people managed to get on the desk! We had a planned route that we used, but it seems like multiple ways to get up there are being used! Very exciting!

Enjoyed exploring the environment and puzzling my way out of trouble. It would be nice to move a bit faster, but it was fun nonetheless. As others have said, the feeling of being a tiny mouse in a massive world is a fun space to play in. 

Good job!

Developer

Hi, thanks so much and glad you liked it!  This is great feedback on the speed.  Our github todo board ended up having a bunch of things we never got to and this would be a good one to add!

I like this type of games, they are so cool, how you integrated the theme is really cool aswell!

Developer

Thanks so much!  We started out on an alternate version of the idea and somehow it morphed into this in the end.  Glad you liked it!

Good game! I enjoyed figuring out how to get up on to the desk and the trampoline is a nice touch. 

Developer

Thank you! The trampoline was one of our favorite additions! It took a bit to get it working correctly, but it felt like adding it added a lot to the game!

Of all the games in this jam that I've tried, my absolute favourite thing has been this exact sort of 'honey I shrunk the kids' vibes where you're something tiny in a familiar place. I really enjoyed what you did here. It's so much fun having to figure out how to up higher. You game looks great and was a lot of fun. 

Developer

Wow thanks Emma!  It's was really fun to make this and we had actually had some fun playing :) 

Developer

Thank you for playing! The 'honey I shrunk the kids' vibe was exactly what we initially brainstormed as our idea! We had wanted to do a tiny person, but halfway through development we decided playing as a mouse better matched the theme and setting.

*squeak*

Our idea board had a "button to squeak" that we super wanted to implement. Ran outta time for it though but man it would have been a great addition! Might have to go back and add it later

Submitted

Good idea!

The tiny trampoline was adorable!

Developer

Thank you! One of the few asset models I made myself! After one of the other team members coded and put the sound into it, it became one of our favorite objects to interact with :D

Really cool concept, i enjoyed building the huge tower bridge book thingy to get up to the desk probably some better ways of getting up there. But i had fun and that's the point!

Developer(+1)

When we set out we wanted it to be a bit open ended on how to get up there. Glad you had fun! Thanks for playing :D
