I was absolutely terrified when the cat screamed out of the darkness..! xD The theme is really well adapted and I love how the cat is purring all the time. ^^

See with sound -- You have to listen to the different sounds to find your way to the cheese.
Better played with stereo headphones!

I really love this idea. I am not a very good blind mouse, unfortunately. The problem, if it can be called a problem, is that the maze-like levels mean that you can *hear* the cheese, but to *get to* the cheese, you often have to move away from it. I've no idea how one would "solve" this, aside from, I don't know, somehow attenuating the sound based not on basic proximity but path-based distance? So the cheese gets louder as you actually make progress toward it, not as you're getting closer to it but are still on the other side of a wall?
The cat, however, I could avoid with ease. No way was I going anywhere near that rumblin' purr. My mouse might've starved, but it didn't get eaten!

MiniTriadVery cool concept! I kind of wanted there to be some qualitative distinction to the purring when I’m right next to the cat. A warning bell or something? Without that, it’s hard to know which purr volume is the loudest (even after hearing it a few times).

All Fifty TwoThis was much harder than I thought, I was lost for a solid two minutes on the 3rd level before I was killed by the cat. Tried it a few more times but kept dying. The flash did help but I wish I had found the ability to do without! I think this game has good potential if you make different sounds for everything to really help guide the player. Lovely graphics! (well at least when we can see the level lol)

RoadkillIt turned out that being a blind mouse is very difficult! The mousi is very cute — it’s a real highlight of this gameplay!

Again, this is Monday!Cool idea, but even trying to draw a map of the third level, I can't pass T__T It would be nice if there was a difference between the sounds not only from the left and right, but also from the top and bottom (for example, the bottom ones are duller or lower) Anyway, good work

WeAreAllBrokenSometimesAmbitious! I like the presentation and audio, mouse is cute and everything reads well. Unfortunately, it ends up feeling a bit tedious as you have to brute force your way around and memorize the layout. The sound mainly helps you avoid the cat, and there's a very subtle difference in volume/balance of the purr based on your relative position to the cat. I think this concept could work if it leaned away from maze brute forcing and toward pattern recognition/timing. Good job completing your entry!
