Mousey Reviews

i love zami

this mouse changed my life

Amazing experience, holds a candle to games it's been inspired by

I like the funny little mouse

If you liked collecting clue bottles in Sly Cooper you'll enjoy this game

It's fun to play and looks good too

It's pretty small of a game and a little rough around the edges, but boy, this is one heck of a Sly Cooper clone, and an incredibly great one at that! Platforming is very reminiscent of that, the atmosphere works so well in the levels which are all incredibly engaging to traverse in, and the extra content is definitely something I'll be sure to come back to for more fun! All helped by the overall presentation of the game with its cell shaded art style, sound design for collecting cheese, jumping, attacking and such, as well as the great musical score provided by the accompanying soundtrack. Me only real complaint with the game is that there's only one save slot, meaning if I want to come back and do a fresh new play-through of the game, I have to delete progress from me last save which...was never something that aged well between the 7th and 8th generation of gaming and for good reason. And considering that time trials are a thing in this game, with time records to beat, yeah, I'd much rather avoid deleting me old save if it means I can keep that record saved for meself. But that's really it as far as criticisms goes. Other than that, game's still pretty great! Can't wait to see how much more gets added to this game as time goes on!

Nothing screams 90’s/00’s 3D platformer like a ‘Honey I shrunk the kids!’ theme. Man, ‘Mousey’ is a fun game! It totally aces that ‘being small in a big room’ vibe. The moveset is simple but great - fluid movement, nice double jump, sprinting and some nice attacks. You’ll be jumping and doing parkour off Fridges and PC’s. The rooms are beautiful and I mean BEAUTIFUL. Great detail like ominous ingredients on the back of cereal packs *ALMOST* too fuzzy to read or the moonlight beaming into the living room whilst a very familiar ‘unnamed console 2’ buzzes on the TV stand. The worlds are rich and fun to explore, with great verticality, hidden collectibles and Easter eggs all around (like a certain PS1 character’s butter of choice or anime figurines sat on shelves). There’s also some light eerie stuff like that thing outside the window watching Mousey… Clearly a TON of love and refinement went into this game and it really does show. There are bonus levels and unlockable movies that will stretch the 100% mark way over several hours. It’s a very polished and well thought out game. Praying that the dev reads this and they get Mousey 2 out ASAP. I was only sad the game wasn’t longer because I was enjoying it so much. If you are looking for a PS2-esque retro collectathon - this is a fantastic experience that shouldn’t be missed.

A cute 3D platformer with a lot of PS2 influence. I'm a big fan of games where you explore normal locations but as a tiny character, and this game nails that aesthetic. The game controls well, and even in precarious situations I always felt in control of Mousey. Even the loading screen is great, it's one of the best ones I've seen in a while.

Great collectathon platformer full of little details and flourishes in the animations, texture work, and level design that give it a tonne of charm and character. The game is split up into dense open-ended stages with collectibles scattered all over the place (some obvious and some fiendishly tucked away) with the mandatory ones unlocking additional levels, and the secret ones unlocking cosmetics, concept videos, and even new levels. It's a fun little throwback that wears its influences (Sly Cooper, mostly) on its sleeve, and I really [i]really[/i] had a lot of fun with it. I sincerely hope we get a sequel in the future. A sequel, and a way to turn off the depth of field. It's a bit on the heavy side.
