The itch.io page is probably unpublished yet.

Pretty nice little game, it could maybe do with some more levels and sound effects. Also, the dlls are needed to play it. You could put them all in a .zip file and upload that :)

I liked it, I'm not sure where to go or how to speed up but cheese seemed to do that nicely

Solid little game. I would like to have seen some more, but what was there worked nicely.

Nice little game. Gotta love the cheese speed boost. I found it very hard though.
Pretty art though, interetsing decision to make it black & white, reminds of old cartoons.

@kleinzach I know. Personally it would have been cool if there were more levels, but I wanted to fit the theme. More levels = more rooms = no theme. In my first LD, I didn't follow the theme, and it definitely hurt. I agree that there could be more, but I was happy with what I put up. I made the single room look nice.

I thought it was okay. Definitely short; I agree with the others. I know you said more levels meant more rooms, thus going outside of the theme, but I feel like more could have been done within the boundaries of the theme to make it longer. Like you go to the finish burrow and then the room changes slightly; this could be done in one room - keeping to the theme - and adding more content to the gameplay.

The graphics for the mouse are pretty cute, and I do like the black-and-white aesthetic overall. The cheese seems a little out of place in this style.

This game also had a pretty interesting control scheme that made it difficult at first to dodge projectiles. I would have liked to have a key pressed to restart the game upon dying/winning rather than having to click the screen.

Really fun little game. The controls were not what i expected at first, but once i figured out how the up and down work i found it very intuitive. I think it would be just a touch easier if the mouses speed was increased by just a tiny amount, ( I think its too easy to get caught before you get the second cheese. )

It's definitely cute ^^
I think the choice of using reacing controls for the mouse is interesting, but may I suggest using a traditional 8-way control scheme instead. Still, I do like that you experimented a bit and didn't choose obvious methods. It gives the game some extra character =)

Well done ^^
