The more mice you have, the worse it is

Mice are coming to steal your cheese.

Grab them to prevent them stealing your cheese.

Or grab mice running away to recover your cheese.

Throw a grabbed mouse away and bowl incoming mice away.

But be careful, if you bowl away a cheese-carrying mouse, the cheese is lost forever.

Controls

Move paw: left/right arrowkeys or A/D

Grab/throw: up arrowkey or spacebar

*Should* also work om mobile, touch left and right to move paw and touch the cheese to grab/throw.

They toook mah cheeezee! I like the mechanics that throws the mouse and you can hit the mouse-cheese-thieves with it. However, I decided to let 1 small mouse eat 1 small cheese. I am a generous god.

Good job! I felt sorry for the mice, so i let them eat all the cheese at the end :)

Mice bowling, Ha ha. Didn't expect my arm to become 4 meters long.

The mouse-grabbing and throwing mechanics are a pretty interesting addition, and when the numbers of mice ramp up it gets nicely frantic. I also thought the mice were cute!

Nice game. It's a bit annoying that you are not able to turn while the arm is moving. But I really liked the ability to bowl away mice.

Very neat game, I am surprised at how quickly I became overwhelmed by the mice. In the future adding some sounds would do wonders for the gameplay!

Nice work! Easy to try and hard to master. I'm pretty bad at it though. Could be nice to have a better difficulty curve!

Grabbed and threw mice as a cool guy. Then I gave my girlfriend control and she totally let the mice get away with the cheese. What a noob.

We had a laugh playing it. It was really fun to see the cat hand extend to grab the mice.
Maybe you could experiment with combos some more!

interesting idea for the game. I had a problem with the control ... not very intuitive.
Good job!

Having some visual data for the cheese would be a lot more satisfying and readable. Good job.

The theme isn't quite there. since the player doesn't really control how much mice they have it doesn't quite work because it isn't the more YOU HAVE, the worse it gets. Although it gets really hectic and its a fun little idea. The paw moved kind of slow and an acceleration might have been a better idea. Controls worked very well.

113 in first try. Kinda fun once I figured the controls. Throwing mices was nice touch
