Ranked from 22 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
Players are required to complete many "loops" of exploration and mapping due to the restricted number of moves; necessary in order to solve puzzles and navigate to the next objective. Many of the objectives also require looping back on yourself to previous areas.

Nice game, I love the atmosphere and the art. A little feedback: the game became insanely laggy when I opened the map. Also I expected the map to fill by itself, doing it on my own would take a lot of time I guess. So I just relied on my memory alone and got to the other spawn point! 😌

Thank you for the feedback! I'll look into the map being laggy. I wanted to make spawn points appear on the map when you activated them but ran out of time. Thank you for playing 😌

Cool! Unique and tricky.

Cool game, I really enjoyed it. The art was great and being able to map out your progress was a really good idea. I wanted to get to "beyond home" but didn't find enough of the stinky cheese. Loved it.

Very cool game. I would prefer it if I got my courage back when taking a step back instead of respawning. This would make it a bit easier to explore. All together, it's a very nice and cute game. :)

This is a good idea, embarrassing I didn't think of it before! I'll make sure it doesn't break anything with the puzzles first but that is a very sensible change, thank you for the feedback :)

I really dig the art style here, and I’m impressed by the mapping mechanic! A cute and enjoyable experience, nice work!

Hello, fellow mouse! I liked the fact the next cheese is placed just enough not to starve, so when I see a collectable few steps away, I know that am not worthy yet ^^ I decided to not draw a map saying to myself that for sure I'll remember... Guess what :D Few circles and completely useless loops later, I decided to give up. But I may be back later to finish it, with proper notes taking this time. 
I enjoyed it, thank you : )

Really cute and clever, I really enjoyed the loop mechanic and the exploration of the map.
