We're delighted to have met your expectations! ### 3/5 — Good game but bugged *2026-02-03* First off the game hasn’t had a update in two years. Second, there’s definitely a coding problem. The problem exists in character moves and slot selection. I never finish second in the slot selection always first third or fourth. Also, I’ve noticed that when you roll the dice and any your character moves it’s off by one. This doesn’t happen all the time but it happened again when after I rolled a nine and I only got my character to move eight spaces. Third, I’d like to see more cheese added. 150s good for quick games, but I would like to see 300 or more for longer play sessions. ### 4/5 — Love this *2025-05-04* I absolutely love this game I play it every day however I would say I would like to see an option to increase cheese as the games are quite short. **Developer response:** Hello, and thank you for your feedback! We are glad to hear you love Mouse Trap! I have shared your thoughts with our design team to be taken into consideration.

Gets boring pretty quickly which is a shame. ### 3/5 — Decent *2024-09-23* Fun but wish it was more like the actual board game ### 3/5 — Unausgewogen, zu kurz *2024-04-09* Ich mag die Spielumsetzungen vom Marmalade Game Studio. Sie sind immer qualitativ hochwertig umgesetzt. Sei es nun Monopoly, Schiffe Versenken oder das Spiel des Lebens 1/2/RoadTrip. Auch sind die Preise fair. Bei diesem Spiel mangelt es mir allerdings deutlich an der Ausgewogenheit. Entweder du gewinnst haushoch oder verlierst quasi mit null. Man kommt im Verlauf eines Spiels nur ca. 3-4 mal an die Reihe. Dann ist der Vorrat der sog. Käsmaschine aufgebraucht, um den alle spielen. So ist es schwer möglich, wenn einem die Mitspieler gerade ordentlich beklaut haben, noch einmal den eigenen Käsevorrat aufzustocken. Die optische Umsetzung ist hübsch, wenngleich etwas arg Bunt und sehr viel los ist, auf dem Spielfeld. Das Auslösen der Falle dauert zu lange. Die Spannung mit dem Mechanismus nutzt sich optisch schnell ab. Vor allen Dingen, weil nur der letzte Moment den eigentlichen Unterschied ausmacht, welche Seite der Mausfalle ausgelöst wird. Als Verbesserungsvorschlag: - Einstellbare Käsemenge im Automaten. Z.B. 150, 200, 250 - Kürzere Fallen-Animation oder verschiedene Events, welche die Seite bestimmen - Bei einem Pasch ein weiteres mal Würfeln dürfen. ### 3/5 — More cheese *2024-04-08* Game so short see they not fix getting more cheese in the game. They should make game longer **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your enthusiastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you love Mouse Trap! We appreciate your suggestion about adding more cheese to the machine and an option to have a longer game duration. These are all very good suggestions - I have shared them with our design team for discussion and possible implementation in a future update. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us at help@marmalademail.com if you have any more suggestions or even concerns to share. ### 4/5 — Missing Something *2023-12-18* It’s good and all but it’s lacking replay ability, what does it need? New map. New designs. Instead of like the toy soldier flipping into the air and landing why not something like a rocket ship taking off but crash landing. New themed maps will increase playability. **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for sharing your feedback. We try to implement the features most requested by our players so please don't hesitate to send us an email at help@marmalademail.com if you have any more ideas about features you would like to see in the game! ### 3/5 — Boring *2023-12-06* The look of the game is really appealing, but there’s not much to it. You don’t get to build the trap yourself, and another $9 for accessories is ridiculous. A little more interactivity would definitely make it worth it. **Developer response:** Hello and thank you for your feedback!

Dear lord is that version horrible! Compared to it, this version is extremely favorable. Despite the Wii version more resembling the board game, it’s slow, tedious, and unenjoyable. At least this version adds charm and better appearances, as well as updating the gameplay. I have raised the Star rating. Sorry for my earlier harsh comments. OBSOLETE REVIEW: While there don't seem to be any glitches or errors in the code, and while the game runs fluidly, this is a very lackluster game. It's over in about 10 minutes and it's not the setup of the original mechanics, nor is it the way the game used to be played. The animation of the trap is a one trick pony that gets old very fast and would only remain entertaining for a child who is easily distracted. It's hard to believe this was developed by a studio that did so well with many other beloved board games. I'll keep it on my account for future children/nieces/nephews but this will not be a regular play for me. ### 3/5 — Has potential… *2023-11-25* The rules are easy to understand, but I’d like an option to control the camera view because it’s hard to see where all players are during any turn, which makes it hard to strategise. And the sudden camera shifts are disorienting. **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for sharing your feedback. We try to implement the features most requested by our players so please don't hesitate to send us an email at help@marmalademail.com if you have any more ideas about features you would like to see in the game! ### 2/5 — It’s not bad but.. *2023-11-07* The original board game had sweeping brooms, dogs, cats, tipsy cider mice and even poison. Whilst it might raise an eyebrow today, we found it great fun when younger. This board is just empty and it feels a bit sterile. The graphics are great and the trap animation is really good too but it just needs more to see and do on the board as it feels a bit soulless as it currently is. **Developer response:** Hi Mossy, thank you for your feedback!

Without fail I always lost all of my cheese. I was always caught. I never caught anyone. And I always got last place. This is so rigged! I want my money back. ### 1/5 — No updates ever. *2024-04-15* There is no updates regarding new maps, new content, or different gameplay. The studio keeps saying their working on new maps. But that was EIGHT MONTHS AGO! Without new updates to keep the game fresh, it just isn’t fun. I hate bugging people, but this isn’t a fun game anymore. I won’t play the app for a while to see if it gets a new map, or new content while I’m not playing it. The truth is, I’ve been doing this for a year now, and nothing happens. I have a little bit of hope for this game to get an update. Please fix this. **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for sharing your feedback.

I know that this is getting old, but I would really love to see some new maps. I am getting a little tired of the same old game over and over. The gameplay is short enough as it is, and the trap is just not as exiting as when this app came out. I never play this app anymore only because I got bored. If you could add something new, like maps, new suits, and just stuff like that in general, I would be much happier. Then again it’s my childhood dream come true to see this classic and fun game on mobile. But now, this game isn’t as fun as it was. I don’t want to bore everybody at marmalade studios with this huge paragraph, but I would really like you guys to make this a reality. Keep up the good work! **Developer response:** Hi!

And when I tried to get a refund I wasn’t permitted to. I’d like some feedback on why. **Developer response:** Hello, we are sorry to hear that your son accidentally purchased Mouse Trap.

What a waste of money. Do not buy. ### 1/5 — Boring *2023-07-14, version 1.0.5* Was hoping for a fun game… wish I could get my money back lol. ### 1/5 — Boring *2023-05-31* More needs to be added to this game like challenges or something. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mouse trap *2026-05-14, version 1.0.6* The best game ever ### 5/5 — I love this game *2025-02-03* I played this for a hour this is a good game **Developer response:** Hi and thank you for your review!

Keep making these kind of games. Great for families. ### 5/5 — Please Update MouseTrap 🧀 *2023-08-29* Please add more features to the game. Please do something rotate the boards. Please give us options to switch up the board. Please add more time to the game. I mean the game is enjoyable but it’s very bland now and boring. Please add something to make it more interesting because at this point, we are all bored for example, add a snowboard mousetrap were Riggs is a different color or something I don’t know just add some thing please in the next update or once you get to 10,000 cheese, you gain a bigger crown instead of gold on this one, it may have diamonds 💭 but the main issue is can you guys please switch up the mouse trap boards change the trap change what Riggs is wearing depending on what board he is on add more features to the game please because like I said, it is now becoming bland and boring **Developer response:** Hi Sansa, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us!
