MouseCraft

This little game does exactly what it advertises and does it really well. It's fun and I can feel it pulling on my brain, which is exactly what I was hoping for. I've now gotten gold medals on my first 30 levels-- collecting all shards and leading the mice safely to their Swiss cheese reward. You can complete the levels at gold, silver or bronze rating. Getting gold can be pretty tough on some of them, but is certainly rewarding. The learning curve is spot-on as you are slowly introduced to new environments, objects, hazards, tools, etc. that build to make the levels more complex and challenging. Although remaining quiet in the background, you can see Schrodinger, the mad-scientist cat who runs the experiments, cheering the mice on or having a mental breakdown if things don't go so well. Interesting concept and well done! The game runs perfectly on my GOG rig --Win 7, AMD Phenom Quad Core, and GeForce GTX 1060. Definitely a winner!

Nice puzzles. Good variety of mechanics. Has a map builder, so allows to have a good family fun

I have a very high level of regret that I purchased this extremely poor quality game. I had hoped for an intellectual strategic puzzler but instead I got a hyperlinear mobile-looking quasi-puzzle borefest. I cannot understand any praise this game receives. The levels are incredibly limited, tediously designed, and monotonous. The game utterly lacks charm. The main character doesn't speak, instead preferring to constantly gesture crazily like he's possessed by Cat Satan. The mice are too stupid to be lab rats. One block up, 3 blocks down, and walk back and forth otherwise. Now go place some tetris pieces in exactly the order that the developers intended so the mice can pick up all the powerups and reach the platform. Who likes that? A puzzle game is supposed to offer puzzles. This game just wants simple sequence recreation. If you find this game engaging or challenging then I can only suggest less medication, or possibly a return to primary school. After about 20 levels I ran into a game ending critical flaw wherein icons in the game could no longer be clicked on. This completely prevented me from continuing the game, and for that I'm actually grateful, as there was no way I was getting my money's worth from Mousecraft even if I played it for the rest of my life. Even on mobile this game would be below average. It's 15 USD at retail and it's not worth 3 USD. Don't make the stupid mistake that I made and purchase it. Just leave it there on the shelf. It looks far, far more interesting than it actually is.

Great way to spend some free time.

Cannot clear level 11, frustrated and annoyed.
