Hide & Squeak
🐭 You're a mouse. All you want is some cheese.
Unfortunately, the house belongs to someone else — and she's hungry too.
Explore each room and search for cheese before time runs out. But listen closely: when you hear the cat coming, you need to disappear, fast. Slip into a hiding spot and hold still while she prowls the room, sniffing you out.
⏱ Timer
In each room, you have 30 seconds before the Cat comes in the room. In new rooms, the timer will reset after going through a door to make things a bit easier.
Find the cheese. Don't get caught. Can't hide in the same place twice.
🎮 Controls

your such a destructive little mouse. that poor table hihi. it was simple yet fun though!
thank you for commenting, yeah we hope to make more destructive animations.
Would love some feedback for my first game jam made with a friend
and to give some propper feedback since your asking. I think the timer was a bit long. 20 seconds just to hide and then wait felt like a while. Was also at first looking to see if I could find cheese instead of trying to hide, that was my goal after all
Yeah we felt the same way, we first wanted to have more cheeses and one platformer level, but there were some problems so we had to scrap that and make a faster version. Appreciate the proper feedback!
