Playing with mice is the best entertainment a cat can have, but the fun ends when the mouse dies.

Get points by batting the mouse around. Harder hits get more points, but you lose points if you hit it too hard and kill it. _This is a game of finesse!_

For some reason the mouse doesn't think this is as fun as you do, so you'll also lose points if you let it escape.

Note Some people have mentioned that it looks like you lose points as the mice spawn. That's because they spawn after a mouse escapes, so you're losing points for that. Thanks for the feedback!

Controls:
Just move the mouse in your hand to hit the mouse on the screen. _Be gentle._

Very fun idea, I wish the screen was a bit bigger so I had more space to move around in. It's fun hitting the mice but you can't do it more than twice in a row, then the mouse escapes, so I always lose more points than I gain

Everytime a mouse spawns I lose 5 points

other than the horrific carcasses of dead mice floating around me as i kill their brethren, this is a really cool game. adding a few more features might help the repetitiveness.

Simple game but creative game. It fit a theme in a surprising way. Might be great if there are more dynamic since the game is difficult on simple rule. I can't play for that long. But I love the graphic, over all, well done. :)

Very interesting turn on the topic. I love the graphics! Very cute.
Unfortunately I hardly manage to keep the mouse in the screen. Either I kill it immediately, or it escapes after one or two blows.

It's hard to touch the mice gentle, but nice artstyle and gameplay!

Seems like I constantly I losing points when mice spawn. Good game idea though! I like the "finesse" aspect.

Tari21 Apr 2020, 14:27

the look and idea are just beautiful, i really enjoyed it! a bigger screen or maybe some borders around might be nice, so ne mice cant slide out of the "playfield" so quickly. but overall great work!

I really like the art of the game :ok_hand: However i struggled a lot to keep the mouse inside the screen so my score remained at 0. But it's really nice nonetheless, maybe just a bit of tweaking to adjust the difficulty ^^'

well done but i think that you should prevent the mices to spawn in the borders of the map because if they don't go immediately to the center they can escape too easily. Nice take on the topic

Really cute artwork! I liked the hit sound, it made it pretty satisfying when I hit the mouse. I agree with the others on the screen size thing though. But great idea! I liked it!

Hmm it's a new take on the juggle game, but when there's more than one rat in the screen it's hard not to kill them as you want to get to them asap, since them running off deducts points too. Maybe having that gone would make the game a bit more reasonable!

A nice short 'keep the mouse inside' game. I really like the rolling mouse graphics.

So much colours too! I don't think I can ever make this kind of graphics.
