You are a mouse. You value your sleep, so you went into space for the quiet. But a rude cat, as cats are, is breaking the laws of reality, as cats do... He's playing his congas, and making a racket... you're going to SILENCE him.

As A Mouse is a physics-based puzzle game. Use your slingshot to knock the cat unconscious. You will need to employ a number of devices, sharpen your accuracy, and beware of your timing.

This is my first game jam and overall first ever actual publish of a game. Members of the GDFG community might know me as Cringe, but I am a new face, so maybe not.

Timeline: I started working on As A Mouse... on September 12th 2024, the day after the Jam announcement. I Spent about an hour to three hours per day since then for about 2 weeks, give or take some days off.

Post Publishing Thoughts: My primary skill is programming. Everything is written in GDScript, using the Godot Game Engine. I have used several engines, and this one feels good to me. I am no designer or artist, but that doesn't stop me from trying.
