MouseCraft

Great puzzle game!

Got at a deep discount of $2, but the technical issues ruin what the otherwise enjoyable puzzle game.

Every once in a while, the game decides that most things aren't clickable anymore [if you're in windowed mode]

Even worse: if you're in fullscreen mode, semi-crashes and takes over whatever screen it's on. Couldn't even task manager it closed due [which is honestly impressively bad]

I realize my experience probably isn't the norm, but still frustrating.

MouseCraft
The puzzles are interesting to save your mice to get to the cheese
use shaped bricks to create a safe path to save your mice to get to the next level
it has a built in level creator so make your own levels

a fun game for all

For anyone in 2024 who sees this game on the current sale where it's 99 cents: It's totally worth it at that price. If you can't get the game's graphics to load properly, try full screen. It's cute. Puzzles are interesting. Music isn't bad either.

Fun little puzzle game!

HEY! HEY! This is a great game! All kinds of puzzle and logic and it comes with a map editor to make your own! I love it! All this logic and stuff! My new friend was really really stumped and almost had a fit when I showed him the solution.

Its great! Its lie Sokoban, BRIX and lemmings, rolled into one.

Rating 10/10 WELL DONE!!
Rating 9/10

Tetris meets Lemmings - a wonderful little puzzle game!

There are 80 puzzles all in all. In each of the puzzles your goal is to guide three mice safely to the cheese, using building blocks to build "bridges" and bombs to blow up obstacles.

The puzzles are - in general - not that hard ... but if you want to get a perfect score, picking up everything along the way, some of them are pretty challenging!

The game is a lot of fun and is suited for younger children.

I finally finished this game.

This is a fun little puzzler and can be very frustrating at times however when you understand it, it actually becomes really fun to figure out.

This takes elements from 3 total games.
Tetris
Lemmings
Some other Puzzler I do not remember.

The objective of the game is to get the Mice from the other side of the Stage to the cheese without crushing, burning, drowning, attacked.

Along the way you got to get the Mice to collect these Crystals in order to progress it is really nifty.

If your going for 100% you are definitely going to require solutions online because some of the puzzles can be SUPER challenging to figure out.

Also SPOILER ALERT!
All the work to get these Crystals and Mice through leads to the Professor drinking coffee. Most Simplistic Ending Evar.

This is a very good indie Puzzle game. There are many obstacles you will encounter along the way and that I will let you explore when you purchase the game yourself.

8/10 Bit Frustrating but is one of a kind.

We've been playing this game with the kid for a while by now. The design is great as it allows you to progress fast, if you want, and then come back to each level to hit a perfect score. The best part is the family brainstorm that happens when we get stuck on a specific level. To me, this game is the "old school game design", in a good way: the game is well-polished, the controls are intuitive, and you can see a bunch of UI solutions that were made to help the player. Totally recommending this, and I hope the studio keeps producing more awesome titles!

Looking to kill sometime on a puzzle game that is appealing on multiple levels and runs very well? Look no further. Mousecraft is a "lemmings-like" game where you have to manipulate the environment to get three mice to destination. It sports a nice array of different mechanics that keep it continually interesting. It is controller compatible and has low system requirements despite being visually very appealing. The only downfall is that the game is rather short and has no replay value. Overall, I recommend it with a discount, because honestly even ten dollars is too much to spend for less than fifteen hours of gameplay. Breakdown:

Music/SF 8/10: Nothing special, but not bad either, just what they should be.
Graphics 9/10: Impressively colorful and detailed, above average effort for this type of game.
Controls 9/10: Appreciate the built in controller support, taking a point for not allowing custom mapping within the game.
Gameplay 8/10: Really superb and engrossing gameplay. Some puzzles are genuinely quite hard. But, overall, you just have to have more than 80 levels for a game like this since you know from the outset that there is nothing deeper to the game.

Total: 34/40 - You will have fun no matter what you pay, but you will feel even better if you get it on sale.

Mousecraft is a casual puzzle game where you play as a cat who helps mice get to the cheese with the use of tetris blocks. It has 80 levels, with incremental introduction of new block types as you progress. Overall, the puzzles are quite interesting. They're the right amount of challenge - not too easy or difficult. There's quite a bit of fun to be had playing this game.

Included is a level designer as well to build your own levels. You can also play workshop levels, allowing for several more hours of fun after you beat the main story puzzles.

Cute and relaxing "Lemmings" style puzzle game. It is well polished and has pleasant music. Getting a perfect score on some of the levels is a satisfyingly real challenge , but if you just want casual brain teasers you can get through the game at a more leisurely pace by not worrying about collecting every single gem/shard.

I had this game recommended to me because it was "sort of like Lemmings", and the person who made the suggestion knew I'd been a fiend for that game back in the day. Having played it for a while now, I don't know that I would equate the two, but I can see where someone might get that idea.

Instead, though, this is a level manipulation -- the mice themselves don't do anything, or act in any particular way. They are living subjects in your changing maze, and you have to set the pieces so that they'll make it safely through. Some levels are mindbending, others are simple, but all in all I've found the game to be fairly well balanced, and excellent for a bit of quick pick-up-and-play puzzle action. Would heartily recommend.

*Addendum*
I would add one down-side to this game, which is in the closing stages, the final brick-type that you receive actually makes the levels considerably easier. So instead of steadily increasing difficulty and challenge, which would be the norm for games of this type, the final 16 or so levels I breezed through very quickly indeed, and they were often easier than some of the much earlier levels had been. That said, I still wouldn't hesitate to recommend the game to fans of the genre overall.

Mousecraft is a straightforward puzzle game that involves leading mice through a series of obstacles using items to guide them to their goal. The game is presented with a charming visual design with a thin story and reactive character to give the puzzles context. After some simple levels to introduce the basics the game adds complexity with hazards, adversaries, timing, and blocks with various properties to handle. The variety keeps things from becoming stale with some of the final levels feeling like Jenga meets Tetris meets Moustrap. The interface is simple and keeps out of the way with useful fast-forward and restart buttons to minimize wasted time and make experimentation painless. Although it does not innovate in the puzzle genre the game is a rock solid package offering a wide range of challenges.

Mousecraft is a fun puzzle game where you are trying to save the lab rats from all the perils of living in a lab. Yes, yes, supposedly you are helping the crazy cat scientist do his "experiments" and test his "inventions" but you really are just saving the lab mice from untimely deaths.

The first levels are fun and interesting, but the game ramps up in difficulty. Every time you learn about a new type of block or situation, you have a level or two to learn and then BAM! You have to step it up or turn into the Death of Lab Mice.

I recommend this game to puzzle platform lovers everywhere.

At first glance, MouseCraft looked like it may be aimed at too low of an age audience for me to find challenging. I was wrong. The game continues to introduce new mechanics every so often, stepping up the complexity of the puzzles and keeping levels varied. Another plus is the ability to design your own levels. I think this game could appeal to a wide age bracket and does an excellent job at stimulating creative thinking. I never encountered any bugs or issues with the game & highly recommend it.

'MouseCraft' is a combination of Tetris and Lemmings as puzzle game with mice.

Desc:
Your goal is to guide every 3 mice in each level to the exit (cheese). Each level gives you certain amount of blocks which can be rotated and placed everywhere. You have to collect in some levels blue crystals to unlock the next level.
Within the first level you only have "normal" blocks like the Z, L or I of Tetris but over the time you unlock new blocks like a jelly block which prevents a mouse to die when it fall down more than 3 blocks. There are altogether 80 levels.

Pros:
+ low raising difficulty level
+ beatable game
+ cute animations
+ built in level creator
(+ achievements [all are fair])

Cons:
- too easy (only 5 or 6 levels are a bit harder)
--- no Steam Workshop (game concept is crying out for! and it still has a built in level creator how silly)
- only story mode (means 80 levels)

Recommended!, only if it's on sale, because it's not really challenging.

7/10

Bought this a while back when it was early access because it looked so amazing and I finally got around to playing it. I have to say, it's highly amusing and entertaining. Of course the first levels are simple, as with any game you have to understand the basics. This actually reminds me of the gifted program IQ testing, being able to predict an outcome many steps ahead (except with much less mouse death). I find some levels incredibly easy and others I rage at and have to walk away from for a few minutes. At one point I was yelling and calling the developers of the game some choice names... all in good fun. I wouldn't exactly compare it to tetris, its about using your pieces wisely, not fitting them together neatly. If you are actually trying to complete all of the goals (all three mice, all the shards) it can be challenging... and I feel for the first mouse, who I have dubbed "bomb squad mouse," for good reason.

Summary:

PROS
-Adorable graphics
-Yes, it is actually challeging if you seek perfection
-No crashes, well made
-I'd call it a brain game, exercising logic, prediction and cause/effect
-Mice. And Schrödinger.
-Is nothing like a phone game in my opinion. And may it never become one.

CONS
-May cause shouting at inanimate objects
-Really that's it, except a minor bug. After level 30 or so my game stopped showing "perfect score" at the end of a level, the little TV says 0/3 etc, though the Stats accurately show scores so it's hardly a big deal. If anyone else has encountered this problem and fixed it let me know.

BUY THE GAME.

Its Lemmings with Mice and Tetris Blocks <3, very fun and has some nice, clever puzzles at the advanced stages.

How in all the hells does this thing have a 96% approval rating? This is a game that should be ad-paid on mobile, but it's $15 on Steam instead. I'm not even exaggerating. The puzzles and mechanics are ridiculously simple. I'm not talking casual-level simple, I'm talking 'may entertain a small child' simple.

This is NOT a cross between Tetris and Lemmings. You don't have block falling from the sky that you have to accomodate, you just pick them up and place them where you want them at any time you wish. You also don't have a team of skilled laborers. You just have 3 idiot mice that walk forward and can climb 1 block and fall up to 3. The ONLY thing this game draws from Tetris is the shape of the tetrominoes, and the ONLY thing it draws from Lemmings is rodents that continually walk forward.

Both Tetris and Lemmings are better games than this, and you can play both of them for free.

This is a rip-off.

MouseCraft is cross somewhere between Lemmings and Tetris, which might sound bit strange mix, but it works pretty well. Both of those games are classics, everybody should know Tetris and while Lemmings isn't as widely know, it can be considered a cult hit.

For those that weren't playing games during 90s, in short Lemmings was game where lemmings needed to be lead safely to exit. That was done by assigning different tasks like digging to few of the lemmings. As that has to be done at the same time when lemmings were dumbly walking forward, things could get quite hectic. In more difficult levels that lead quite ofthen to giving up by blowing up all the remaining lemmings.

What Mousecraft has taken from Lemmings is that mice have to be lead to cheese. They're as dumb as lemmings and will keep on walking forward, no matter if they will drop to acid pool for example.

How those dangers are avoided is that blocks can be dropped and that block will for example cover pool of acid. Or more commonly those blocks can form stairs that mice will climb up to the cheese. Challenge comes from shape of the blocks and fitting them with the obstacles. Blocks have been predefined to suit the level. How they suit the level and help the mice with their objective is up to you to figure out.

Regular blocks are just the beginning as later levels introduce blocks that have new features.

Game can be finished in a weekend, though finishing all the levels perfectly provides additional challenge. To me it felt like most difficult part of the game is somewhere in the middle. Last part of the game has less challenging puzzles, challenge comes more from timing everything right in order not to squash the mice with the blocks.

There's no Workshop support, so sharing levels created with the level editor is not as easy it could be.

Get it, if you like puzzle games.

Welcome to the world of trial and error, because sometimes the first and the second mouse get to the cheese, but #3 gets blown into a thousand pieces.
This puzzle game requires both lemmings- and tetris-skills and if you don't figure out the perfect set-up for a puzzle you can still do well enough to advance in the game.

Mousecraft is very similar to tetris puzzles, using the same style blocks only with a twist. You get a set amount of differant blocks to use and you must place them in a way so the mice can get to the cheese with out killing them. You also must try and collect the crystals as well. As you progress through the puzzles you earn more blocks, being differant type's, jelly blocks for the softer landings and bomb blocks to blow stuff up and many more.There is also Steam Acheviements to be earned as well. The game has just been updated and finished so this is very good news. I have enjoyed playing Mousecraft and the little mice are very cute, so if you like puzzle type games then I'm sure you'll like this little gem. :)
