About

Mouse & Crane

Features
Read full description

Adapted for children aged 4-7, the game features three best friends, Mouse, Crane and Electryna, who love to search for new tools and scraps they can use to build amazing things. Created in a hand-drawn and collage art style reminiscent of cozy picture books, it presents a harbor populated with surprising creatures such as the scrapcrabs and the bobcat kittens, but also yummy “mousemallows”. The Mouse & Crane adventure is suitable for young children on their own thanks to specific accessibility features. It doesn’t require knowing how to read and can be played with the touch screen. With short gameplay stages that enable trial and error, Mouse & Crane befits different skill and experience levels. Players control Crane’s arm. They start with just a hook to transport things like containers or Mouse himself, and progressively discover various upgrades such as a giant magnet to grab metal scraps and tools, or a wrecking ball for the most satisfying demolitions! The game play is all about helping Mouse get new tools and Electryna’s swiftness and electric powers are a delight. Mouse & Crane shows the power of cooperation, creativity, upcycling and DIY crafting and provides meaningful and wholesome experiences for young children.
