The mouse runs through a cardboard labyrinth of different shaped cardboard boxes and tries to collect all cheese slices on its way. The more cheese slices it collects, the more points it gets. The end score is the total amount of points collected through the play. On its path through the labyrinth the mouse will also encounter obstacles. In order to pursue its cheese chasing quest the mouse needs to overcome every obstacle either by bypassing or by jumping over it. There are 2 types of obstacles. Ones that are static and ones that move. If the mouse hits a lot of static obstacles, it becomes dizzy and more difficult to control. The more it hits, the dizzier it gets. The dizziness eventually goes away if the mouse manages to carefully maneuver through the obstacles. If this is not the case and the mouse continues to collide with static obstacles then it passes out and the game is over. Moving obstacles are mousetraps and need to be avoided at all cost. If a mouse gets snapped by a mousetrap, the game is over. Obstacles are not the only challenge the player needs to face. As the game progresses the mouse becomes quicker and the obstacles on its path become more frequent. Only a skillful mouse runner can master all the levels of the labyrinth. Challenge your friends, get the most points and secure yourself a place in the Hall of Fame! Author's Note: New Updates are on their way.
