Get Ready for Maze Mice
Developer TrampolineTales has announced that its upcoming title Maze Mice is coming to PC via Steam this year. It is a bullet heaven roguelite with a unique mechanic where the time only moves when you move. Take a look at the teaser trailer below to get a glimpse of its gameplay.
In Maze Mice, you will explore the winding corners of an old attic as a clever little mouse, always staying just ahead of prowling cats. In this attic, time freezes whenever you stop moving. This allows you to plan your next move and find the safest path. Collect hidden upgrades scattered throughout to boost your chances of survival and outsmart your feline foes.
You must move quickly to stay safe and gather upgrade dots to boost your experience and unlock powerful abilities. Wear a Tiny Sweater to boost your health, use the Vacuum to pull in nearby items like cheese, and snack on Popcorn to dodge damage for a while. Unleash Flame Trails, Knitting Needles, Hairballs, and other clever tools to send the cats running.
Move carefully through the attic’s narrow side entrances, planning your way to the nearest dots. Outsmart prowling cats like the relentless Chasers and the eerie Phasers. Keep your whiskers safe amidst the chaos, or risk getting caught and meeting your fate in the great mouse haven above.
You can also unlock permanent upgrades and expand your roster with cute animal characters like mice, rabbits, and guinea pigs, each bringing unique starting perks. Explore a retro, top-down pixel world filled with delightful details, all set to a catchy soundtrack by Vincent Colavita, the composer behind Luck Be a Landlord.
