I can't in good conscience recommend this game. It took me about 6 hours to beat, including spending a bit of time after getting to the credits, trying to find some of the missing fountain pieces. I didn't bother to 100% it though I did get all the achievements (not difficult to do).
The pixel art is good, and environments are charming. And the price tag is cheap. Even so, this game has very little to offer. Standards like double-jump and ranged weapons are upgrades you get during the playthrough, along with roll, but there is very little sense of exploration or progression. You can "level up" by gathering green stones as currency and turning them in to one of the other mice you rescue along your journey, back at home base.
Most enemy types I found more annoying than not, and given there are only two biomes in the game, they aren't very plentiful. The warp/save points are poorly spaced, and do not allow you to select amongst them. You simply have a single warp at your home base that takes you back to the last location you warped from.
Luckily, no progress or currency is lost on death. If it were, I may not have bothered to complete the game.
I also experienced some bugs. Specifically, opening the map, panning around, and then closing the map sometimes caused my player to freeze, and nothing I tried would unfreeze them, so I had to quit and restart.
This, together with annoying enemy types and lack of good placing of warp points are what inform my overall recommendation to not play this game, but otherwise it is simply an uninspired game with lackluster gameplay.
