What players say

Players are charmed by the cute mouse and story, but the hunger meter empties so quickly that exploring is nearly impossible, turning the game into a frantic dash for hot dogs. The controls feel slippery and the sniff animation can't be skipped, which adds frustration. The game is very short, and some players report bugs that break movement entirely.
