So much fun! The gun feels so powerful and satisfying to shoot with its kickback and one hit bullet. This is definitely one of my favorites :D

How does your game fit the theme?
I interpreted the theme as a synonym of "Custom-made", "Something made perfectly in size to fit someone or something", but I made it the exact opposite: Not built to scale. And so i came up with the idea of a shooter game, where the weapon is so big, it needs two characters to be moved around and used, and what better characters than two cute mice? The game also fits with the much simpler theme's interpretation "sizes and dimensions" because of its ambiance, taking place in a house wich looks enormous to the small protagonists, where even a mouse trap looks as big as a car!

Absolutely love this game, art style and music are great. Intro cutscene definitely goes hard

Runner BeansAbsolutely love the style. I can imagine it was a risky move to spend so much effort on an intro animation, but it is very much worth it. It really set the tone with that perfectly timed metal music kicking in.
The game feels very polished and cohesive. It takes a good minute to become somewhat comfortable with the controls, but luckily the objective is very straight-forward so this balances each other out nicely.
Shooting and reloading feels very satisfying, and the recoil moving you backwards is a clever downside to prevent the player from becoming too trigger happy.
It put a big smile on my face, awesome game and great submission to the jam!

Shroom BlasterThank you soo much for playing! I'm really happy to hear that i made a really polished game, but to make it like this, i had to sacrifie some keyu part of the gamplay, yup i know D:
If i ever continue this i'll make sure to expand this game into a more roguelike or roguelite style project! Thanks again
Really good polished game! Really makes you feel like two mice holding a gun.

Great work!
Ps. the screenshots definately added another star on the enjoyment lol

Statues For The GodsAbsolutely great. The fast turning got a little bit of getting used to(Did not test controller). But once I did it felt very satisfying. Score: 148.
