Maze Mice

I guess a good idea, but the game is quite boring and doesn't bring much depth or anything

4.5/10 its a mobile game of mobile quality, not much here at all would get on deep sale - no way to banish upgrades. - rerolls are locked to an upgrade slot that takes up one of 4 you get. far better to take something else - only 4 maps all with the very same enemies. - 3 enemies in this game. cat, flying ghost, boss flying ghost almost all my play time is afk card farming

Pacman meets Super Hot as a Roguelite

its all fun and games until da ghost pulls up from the dev behind the luck of the landlord, a very cool rogueLITE akin to VS in a pacman grid its nice

This was quite the surprise. After having played many, many bullet-heaven roguelites, it is rare to see one that puts such a unique mechanical twist on the genre. There are 2 gimmicks that make Maze Mice play significantly differently from other games in the genre: - The play area is a Pac-Man like maze (down to sleeping cats chasing you once you pass them, as the Ghosts in Pac-Man Championship Edition do). - The game pauses whenever your character is not moving. The mazes constrict your mobility options, but the time-freezing allows for fine-tuning your every move. The most efficient way to gain XP is to collect large orbs (every time you collect one, another spawns), and this will often mean poking your nose in a corridor one pixel to collect the orb, then going the opposite direction because it's closer to the next orb or the less dangerous path. I often found myself pausing briefly after every orb collected to plot out my next course, something that only works with the time-pausing mechanic. I found this to be more engaging than the "run around mindlessly, laying waste to everything in your path" gameplay loop most games in this genre end up boiling down to. There is…

This is a weird yet interesting mix between Pac-Man and bullet heaven as you play as a mouse running around in a maze beating up as many cats as you can while using random junk you pick up from nowhere to do just that. There's also the odd mechanic that the game only progresses when you're moving, so you have all the time to assess your next move. As much as I like the concept, there isn't much outside of that. All the characters play the same with the only difference being the starting weapon/item (in other words, they're all interchangeable except for one) and there isn't much with cat or level variety (one of said levels is just a square with a plus in the center). Item diversity is conflicting as its all interchangeable yet some weapons/items are clearly better than others and the low inventory is compensated with the high levels some of them can reach (not that you'll be able to reach to those levels in 10 minutes) The problem is that cat durability increases notable quick and it gets harder to safely level up to upgrade your weapons/items to beat up those cats when you have a whole train of said cats chasing you down, not to mention that leveling up feels slower than you thi…
