Great combination of art, theme, and puzzles.

Submitted

art style was nice, was a bit awkward to figure out what to do at times . compared to some of the other cursor = player, this one feels alot more in theme and the game is clearly built around the idea and the theme to all make sense. there was an annoying issue where the player could be in a constant death loop and I did have to use the debugging to get out of the mess (even then it took a while the first time). I frames or something when you are starting would be nice

I am very surprised this doesn't have more ratings. I love the idea of being the mouse and the puzzle dynamics with all the computer related stuff. Very creative puzzles. Great work!

Submitted

This is so clever and such a creative take on the theme! It looks perfect, like a legit full game, and the little mouse is so cute with his waddle-walk!

Submitted

i love the walking animation, it is so funny

the concept is very cool, i really liked the overall gameplay

Submitted

The concept is really cool, I think a little bit too hard to understand...it took me a while to understand the commands!

Anyway the game is fresh, but it really needs background music!

Thanks guys there were supposed to be sounds but when merging in the last 2 hours some scenes were corrupted so I just went on the branch without sounds :P

This is so underrated! It really needs some music but I love the concept and I love how you manage going between monitors :>

Neat game, love concept but really needs some sounds!

Submitted(+1)

Really cute! I love the art style, ideas, and gameplay. But the game lacks sound, which is maked it less lively, maybe having music, clicking sound,.. might make the game much more appealing!

Fun: fun, the idea of going through multiple screens was really good, I was so confused though, I didn't know what to do and got stuck at the boss fight

Presentation: I like the art style, if only the sound effect worked 

creativity: very creative idea, fits the theme

Dude I don't even know how you came  up with this but it's brilliant. I can't say enough how creative and fun it is nad how good it looks, but I do ahve some feedback. 1) maybe you want it this way ybut I think when you get hit you should get some invincible frames to recover, cause I got hit from below and ended up being juggled and dying insta but maybe it's as skill issue haha. 2) I encountred some weird bug when I tried clicking the exit at the part with the glitch, I would just die off spawn and keep spawning and insta dying. 3) Again maybe just me again but sometimes it was hard to understand what to do. Overall amazing game really good man.

Amazing game! The concept is extremely unique, maybe the game is a bit too hard but that's probably just my skill issue lol
