Maze Mice

As close to an unfinished game as it gets without being actually unfinished. 4 levels, 2 enemy types, 1 boss that is just a larger one of the enemy types. That's it. A bunch of unlockable items, many of which aren't especially useful. Unlockable characters that only differ by starting item, so they are all interchangeable. In their 1.0 release notes the developer notes that the game didn't sell well, which more or less backs up the pseudo unfinished state of the game. It's a shame, the game has solid bones but needs more meat.

Pretty disappointing, especially for the $10 asking price. I was expecting more from the Luck Be a Landlord dev. There's only a handful of levels and 5 difficulties. Characters only differ in the item they start with. Item balance doesn't seem great. The popcorn passive seems really good compared to a lot of other passive options. A lot of passive upgrades feel too inconsequential compared to weapon upgrades. A neat idea, sort of like Pac-Man meets Vampire Survivors with a dash of Snake, but there needs to be more to it, especially when you're charging double the price of VS.

It's alright. Not particularly engaging after a couple of hours, but if you're looking for something to mindlessly do while listening to a podcast - this fits the bill

EEEE THIS GAME IS SO GOOD!!!!1!!! Imagine Pacman + Superhot + a roguelike autobattler and you pretty much get the gist addictive like you wouldn't believe, fun as hell and the production values are EXCELLENT (this games OST will live in your head) lots of cool powerups and also lots of cute characters that might actually lean towards your playstyle better (LUNA MAINS RISE UP!) just an incredible game and right now its on sale WHY ARE YOU STILL READING GO BUY IT! edit: im taking some points off because this game has no manual, if you wanna learn all the powerups and THE ACTUAL WIN CONDITIONS, you need to check out the community guides

Way too simplistic. Just unlock the second level, and then play with each character at difficulty 5, just running in a loop around the map and you are done. No need to try other levels because there doesn't seem to be anything new to see. They're all the same, with just a different layout. The unlocks are mostly forgettable as well

with all of the roguelite survivors games that been around since vampire survivors it is very nice to see one game come up with a creative twist on it and have the playfield reflect the old one screen maze games like pacman. it's also only move when you do so you can stop and think about your next moves and yes , when you're holding any directions the game is quite fast during that time. there is not any gameplay elements that have not been in a already very popular game yet but the way that maze mice execute it's gameplay is well done. it's just work. so , get your mouse ready and fight those cats.

I love this as a base to a game. It's very satisfying with it's gameplay loops, and a PERFECT way to get a quick steamdeck sess in before before bed. However I'm going to hit dislike becuase the devs clearly did not know what they had here and in my opinion left the game unfinished despite being decently polished. I'll upvote if ANY new content comes up ever. I would pay twice the cost of the base game for DLC if it did the following: [list] [*]Balanced items, make the more niche ones far better for what they are tuned for (or rework) [*]Add more synergy to items [*]add a way to gain points to block items from coming up (maybe at the cost of wasting a level) [*]add some more enemy types or even just behaviors for diff colored cats/ghosts [*]add counters for how many times each mouse won a game [*]add some kind of bonus to the mice for the item they start with, and even a negative in theme [*]make a late-game char that also starts with nothing like the first but has a heavy handicap with a fun bonus [/list] I could easily go on, but this is a start to actually making this a GAME. A hundred more levels, a few levels with a tunnel from top to bottom instead of just left to right, maps with no tunnels, maps with a lot of full tunnels. Traps within the maps that come up fairly against the player, so much could be added. Surely one person with the knowledge of making this game could pump out some content and make you more money.

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