Step into a world of cartoon animation and retro action-packed adventure in Mouse. Inspired by the best of 30s rubber hose animation and the classic noir style, this retro shooter is a story-driven experience that will take you on a thrilling journey through a dangerous and corrupt city.

Armed with a variety of mid-century firearms and explosives like the Revolver, Tommy Gun, Hammer, Carcano, Dynamite, you'll be able to take on enemies in any way you choose. Whether you prefer to run and gun, jump and dodge, or carefully plan your attacks, Mouse gives you the freedom to approach combat your way.

And with the Fantastic-o-Matic power-up system, you'll be able to upgrade your weapons and abilities to become even more deadly. Look for the vending machines scattered throughout the city and choose the power-ups that best suit your playstyle.

But be warned: the city is full of danger and betrayal. To survive, you'll need to stay sharp and keep your wits about you. With every step you take, you'll uncover more of the story and find yourself caught up in a web of deceit and murder.

So gear up, get ready to fight, and take on the challenges of Mouse - a retro shooter that will take you on an unforgettable adventure.

Wow that artstyle for a FPS, very cool.

Animation is cute.

Let me know when the developer makes a level that isn't the Unreal Engine default grid so I can see how they operate as game makers...

 

[skit_data]

Would be cool if they came up with a way to make actual 3d elements not clash with the cartoon look of characters, still cool though

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

The animations and sprites look nice, but the 3D environments look out of place.

Reminded me of Outlaws

Which has a nice OST, btw

Awesome graphical style, but if the game doesn't play well or is interesting beyond shooting at 2D characters this will be fun for about 10 mins I guess..

 

[StueyDuck]

Animation is great looking.

But is this just another indie with a gimmick then after 10 minutes you've seen all that's there.

I'm always in for a gritty jizz-fueled shooter.

It looks way better now, the complaint I had with the earlier gameplay seems completely adressed now

"Coming 2025"

The original 1928 Mickey Mouse rights expire next year, so it will enter the public domain, so in essence they could include the very first Mickey Mouse into the game.

This better come to consoles. WANT.

Cool, they did it.
I thought the original trailer was the game, that it was a fly-by-night company who just drew a couple animation cycles and put it on avatars in grid maps and were about to sell that... but it turns out they really were in it for the long haul and that video was just proof-of-concept. They now have made a complete game world, with cartoon style and the gags (like the falling piano) which unify the concept. Looking forward to it.
