I LOVE how you implemented the glitch element! Even though there is no real way to lose or die in the game, the eerie mood and absolute loneliness of your world had me on edge

Very cute, I like the music a lot, and I think it has potential to be made into a longer game with a broader narrative and could be genuinely eerie

I liked this a lot! I think it's a great solution for the short span of a game jam: probably not an idea you'd develop farther than this, but it makes for a pleasant short experience. 

Only thing I'd add: you mentioned the mouse smelling the cheese with "that little nose" of his, but then you basically wander around aimlessly until you stumble upon the cheese by chance. Maybe adding a hint mechanic that points you in the general direction of the cheese would fit that dialogue better.

Very nice short experience. Good choice of music, it felt kind of haunting when in the glitched level. My only criticism would be the slight blur on the sprites, but otherwise great game
