A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

You are a mouse. Get to the cheese. You can throw bullets you picked up off the ground somewhere before the game started I don't know make your own lore I just like programming and got a C in english.

Inspired by a DS japan exclusive game called "Slide Adventure MAGKID" which required an accessory that turned the DS into a mouse.

Also inspired by Ultrakill's super fast responsiveness and movement there is no outside acceleration or speed traps or movement restrictions all movement is dependent on you.

Made all the art in Libresprite using exclusively the pico-8 preset.

Font is from here.

Open source cause open source is awesome you can go laugh at my code.

Install instructions

I believe the game only supports 1920/1080 right now, will update and change later gui is hard

I don't have access to a linux machine right now so the linux export might not work, will test later but you'll need to run these commands in the terminal for now I think

chmod +x mouse_game.x86_64
./mouse_game.x86_64

the standalone windows .exe appears to be borked but the .zip works fine

running the linux executable returns the same error as the windows exe popup:

Error: Couldn't load project data at path ".". Is the .pck file missing?
If you've renamed the executable, the associated .pck file should also be renamed to match the executable's name (without the extension).

the linux executable runs but the controls don't work, but that's running inside of WSL. running in native linux (nobara), everything is as expected.

that being said, the game is fast and the controls are (intentionally?) janky but it's fun once you get the hang of it. looking forward to more!

.exe has been fixed, hopefully ;-;
