How does the game fit the theme?
You are taken by an evil rat doctor for maze testing, so you shouldn't have trusted him. And in the gameplay, you have to collect cheese, but some cheese are bad since they're moldy, so don't trust all the cheese you see.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Sound effects are taken from free sound effects websites or created by us, and the music is free to use, credits in the game and game page.

Very cool game! I especially liked the theme. I thought the intro was really 'cute', I could immediately relate to what it must be like as a mouse not being able ti eat cheese anymore ๐Ÿ˜ฅ I hope at least she managed to escape somehow.

I found it a little difficult to read the white text against the light background in game. Otherwise i really liked how good it felt to controle the mouse.

I had fun playing it!

good game, good game

This game was so fun!! I had a great time trying to finish as fast as I can, and I thought the pixel art, sound, and music was awesome!!!

Submitted

I do not know why, but mouse-and-cheese maze puzzles give me such a strong sense of nostalgia, even though I never actually played any :)

Funny enough, I found the mouse easier to control under the effect of one poisoned cheese than without it - taking corners at full speed was tough! ๐Ÿ˜…

Thanx for playing our game. We are happy that you like it

The sprites were so cute, and the chomp sfx was so goofy. It was simple yet fun. I think the clue to see which cheese was bad and which wasn't was just subtle enough to be noticeable but hidden enough to trick anyone in a hurry. Good music too. Good entry!

Developer

Thanx for the comment! the chomp sfx was actually made by my teammate while he recorded himself trying to make an eating sfx. It's nice to see that you liked our game :)

Love the art and music!

It was not that clear which cheese was the bad one. Since they stayed in the same spots it was kinda fun to optimize the route as you went and tried again. The slowing after eating the cheese made play different which was interesting. Shortest route to cheese and doors was not the best but going to the farthest cheese when you zooming fast at start. Great design that made big impact on gameplay.

Great job and I would say some cheesy now but Iโ€™m stuffed.

Developer

Uh ye, we wanted to make it like dont trust all the cheeses but we couldn't implement it that well in the game cuz we ran out of time. Its good to see that people liked our little game :D

Fun game and really cute graphics. Not sure how much it fits in the theme though!

Developer

We interpreted the theme as don't trust all the cheeses you see. But ye I kind of agree is doesnt fit the theme much. Also thanx for the comment, its good to see that you liked the game! All the visual assets we used were handrawn by us.!

Really fun puzzle game ! Not sure about that it's really in-theme, but the graphics and music are really cool and the puzzle are good too !

Developer

Ya kindaa agree with you looking in retrospect at our game and the theme. We interpreted "trust no one" as like "dont trust all the cheese in the game" for our game. Thanks for the feedback!!^^

Nice fun, and creative puzzle game!

Developer

Thanks for playing and the comment!!^^

very cool game!!! i especially enjoyed the theme, vfx, and the sfx!!! i keep on dying cuz its hard for me to find the difference between the bad and good cheese...

Developer

THANKSS!! real glad u enjoyed the game!! Also was gonna add a whole mechanic of smelling the cheese around you to figure out which one was bad and was not (like in ratatouille if ykk), but unfortunately didn't manage my time properly so I didnt code it in:(( Thanks for the comment!!

What a charming game!

First of all, I love the theme. A lab rat collects cheese in a maze and can't escape the lab at the end of a game, so the experiment continues... We made a game about exactly the same thing!
Dewelopers of Racheese, we're so glad we share a brain cell with you.

So, about the game itself! It's short, but it's a joy to play. 
It seems even easier to play after picking up the spoiled cheese, because the controls become more manageable when rat is slow.

The goal of each level is clear, making it easy and fun to play!

Thanks for checking out the game!! Went to see your game and it looks amazing, didn't expect there would be another game with a similar premise of rats running around lol, real neat! Great minds think alike. Really appreciate the feedback to the game, thank you for your comment^^

Nice game! The movement feels smooth and I like the tail following effect
