Avoid the Cats in Maze Mice
Maze Mice, the time-bending, maze-running bullet heaven roguelite from TrampolineTales, arrives on PC and Steam Deck via Steam Early Access on Friday, May 2, 2025. From the developer behind Luck be a Landlord, this new adventure promises a thrilling escape through a labyrinthine attic. To mark the occasion, TrampolineTales is donating $10,000 to The Pipsqueakery, an Indiana-based wildlife and small animal rescue.
You’ll take on the role of a tiny mouse navigating a maze filled with slumbering cats. These cats are so ready to pounce on you the moment you make a move. Time only advances when you do, so every step counts. Dodge danger, sniff out upgrades, and gather boosts to keep yourself ahead of the chase.
Use hidden passages and squeeze through tight spaces to evade your feline foes. Dash toward Dots to level up and unlock health boosts, offensive tools, and cat-repelling gear. Grab the Vacuum to collect Dots from a distance, wear a Tiny Sweater for extra protection, wield the Saxophone to send cats packing with smooth jazz, or unleash the sheer power of a Black Hole to ensure your escape—no matter the consequences.
Whether you outrun your enemies or fall victim to their claws, each run unlocks new upgrades and additional mouse heroes, each with a unique ability. With its retro-pixel aesthetic and cozy attic setting, every corner holds surprises.
