Experience life as a tiny rodent - a mouse! - MAJOR UPDATE Years after release, we've thoroughly reworked the game and prepared it for new content. Regular updates are on the way! - TWO LOCATIONS: FOREST AND COTTAGE Make a cozy burrow in a vast forest, or move right into a human home. In the forest, you'll need stamina and keen senses. In the cottage, you'll need all your agility: climb fabric surfaces and leap from shelf to shelf and from furniture to furniture on your way to the prize. - YOUR OTHER HALF At level 7, you can find a mate. Your partner will help you carry resources and fight by your side. - YOUR BABY At level 15, you can have a baby. Feed your little one, then teach them to live on their own and show them how the world works. - GATHER AND STEAL 19 types of resources! In the forest, look for nuts, berries, mushrooms, twigs and hay (just don't eat the toadstools!). In the cottage, grab anything people leave lying around: cheese, bread, pet food, coins, handkerchiefs, sponges, toys, rings, paper, thread... even a mousetrap! - BUILDING Build 11 different structures from the resources you collect, each with its own useful bonus. Upgrade the nest in your burrow, and don't forget to repair it - it falls apart over time! - BATTLES Face off against a praying mantis, a hornet, a spider, a cockroach, a squirrel, a weasel, a badger, a snake, and even a cat! - SKINS WITH SUPER BONUSES Lots of skins, some of which affect not only you but your whole family. Become a ghost, a pet mouse, or a brave mouse knight and take on the fiercest enemies! - QUESTS Complete quests, gain experience, and level up your hero. Enjoy the game! Best regards, Avelog Games
