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!

Great level of polish and challenging gameplay. Easy to play but hard to master!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you very very muchh! Still confused about the difficulty lol as some say it's too hard and others it's too easy AAAAh Guess i'll add hard mode and normal mode in the future C:

Submitted

Oh man, this has SO MUCH JUICE! The recoil on the gun feels so good! I'd love to see more varied enemy types over time to break up the gameplay. But as it is, this is so fun and polished. Great work!

Developer(+1)

Heyyy thank you soo much! Means a lot :))

Yeah i hope i can add more gameplay into the future too, happy you liked it tho! :D

Submitted

Using the recoil to move around is interesting. I like the pixel art too. I wish I could rotate and move a bit faster though

Developer

Thank you so much! Yeah i know the controls are a bit slow, but that's the main "mechanic" of the game, being small and moving a BIG HEAVY gun around, hope this makes it little bit clear :))

🧀 Loved the recoil! 193 seconds is my survival record 🧀 Bravi!

Developer

Thank you sooo much🧀🧀 I'm very happy you liked it! Grazie!

Submitted

I felt so small but so powerful shooting that gun with the little mice, it was a lot of fun. It was also pretty difficult at first to get the hang of the rotation and movement but once I did, I was on a roll. Awesome job, so cute!!

Developer(+1)

Phew! Lots of people said that about the moviments, but it's nice to read it was actually a nice thing  in the end!

Thank you so much for playing :D

Dude the level of polish, the animation of the gun and the overall style of the game is crazy to me, really really cool game !!!

Developer(+1)

Wow thank you very very much! This really makes me happy to read, thanks a lot for playing! :D

Submitted

so cool !

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot!

BELLISSIMO. Mi sono divertito un mondo anche se ho avuto fatica per i primi secondi a capire come muovermi. Difficile il giusto, amo il feedback che hai dato ai colpi, si sente perfettamente il peso. Ottimo gameplay e decisamente non avrei pensato ad un utilizzo del tema in questo modo, bravissimi!

Developer(+1)

EHYYY grazie mille veramente! Felicissimo che ti sia piaciuto, nonostante abbia sacrificato molti elementi del gameplay per rendere il gioco un po' più compatto e pulito

Sinceramente non so a cosa stesse pensando il mio cervello quando ha pensato a questa idea AHAHAHAH però da quel che vedo è piaciuto!

Grazie ancora per aver giocato!

Submitted

I love that art style and the game! The response is so good, great work!

Developer

Thank you very much, means a lot, very happy you liked it! :D

Brutale, violento, metallico, formaggioso.

Questo gioco trasuda tamarraggine e mi piace. Non so avete fatto apposta una finestra di gioco cosi piccola, ma aiuta ancora di più ad amplificare la potenza di quello che succede. Poi è anche super polish, allucinante.

Developer(+1)

THAT'S RIGHTT

Grazie mille mister, mi fa veramente piacere

Penso che il termine tamarraggine sia perfetto per descrivere in una sola parola il gioco HAHAHAHA ma penso che nessuno oltre noi italians lo capirebbe...

Riguardo la finestra di gioco l'ho voluta rendere una via di mezzo, per far si che il concettò di essere piccoli e il gameplay fossero entrambi gradevoli. Proprio per questo ho messun un leggero tween della telecamera verso i topi o verso il formaggio, così per mettere anche un po' a fuoco l'obbiettivo

Grazie mille ancora :DD

Tra poco proverò anche il tuo/vostro gioco!

Submitted

It's cute, it's brutal, the controls are appropriately challenging (you are two mice holding a gun, duh).

But seriously, it looks great and shooting feels amazing *_*

Developer(+1)

Thank you sooo much :DD The moviments were really challenging to make, because i needed to make them neither annoying nor too easy

Thanks again for playing, really!

i love ☻

Developer

Me thank

Submitted

The game looks very nice! and the art style is um cute I guess?

I like the difficulty increase over time, but I would like to see more types of enemies (I'm not sure if there are or not tho) maybe you can Improve the game by adding more content such as a shop or upgrade, anyway nice game! ^^

Developer(+1)

The art style is CUTE AND BRUTALLLL

Jokes apart thank you so much! I focused a lot on making the game polished and compact in 48h, so the gameplay remained quite simple..

I hope i can update it in the future with roguelike an roguelite aspects! 

Submitted

The game is really polished! The gun feels really powerful and smooth to use!

Developer(+1)

Thank you sooo much :D

Hope I can keep the quality up and maybe continue this game later on, thanks a lot!

Submitted

This game gave me John Wick vibes :)

Very polished, good job!

Developer(+1)

YEAAH that was the thing, some cute mice that would kill everyone for their cheese (not cats tho, cats are cute)

Thanks a lot! happy you liked it! :))

Submitted

Art is fantastic and the polish is great that gun FEELS amazing - sound is great too.

Liked the controls and liked how the knockback made panic moments worse by messing up your aim.

I got to 345 - it got a little samey after a while

The intro was soooo good and really set the scene - great work

Developer

Thank you soooooooo much dude! I'm veeery happy you liked the intro, i was pretty proud of it :D

Also happy you liked the controls, hope to continue this in the future!

Submitted

Great, We really like this game and we would more abilities (pierce shot/explosive shot) and combo.

Developer

Thanks y'all! Yeah, i really want to continue this game at this point, so i'll make the gameplay more interesting probably!

Don't know still if making a roguelike or roguelite type tho..

Submitted

I don't Know why but I was thinking all the time it was a Pizza !

(Maybe because I'm hungry lol)

Ultra polished game, handsome, the controls are "clunky" enouth to feel that this is 2 mouses that hold a big gun ! 

Pixel art is nuts, music and sfx fit realy well !

Great entry!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very very much! I know AHAHAH my parents said the same thing every time lol

Grateful you liked the controls, i was actually pretty worried it was gonna be annoying for most people, but it was fine i guess, thanks again :D

Submitted(+1)

haha, it is anoying by design so its cool ;)

Submitted

PB: 332

Very nice game, would love to see some even crazier stuff get added, and maybe a hard mode where you die if you touch a nasty guy

Developer

Thanks a lot! I was actually quite undecided whether to also add a life bar for the mice or whether to leave it simple, but i guess i could add this in the future! :))

Submitted

I just wanted my cheeeeeeeeeese

Developer

Mhhhh i think we might have a mouse in the office🧀🧀
