Every few weeks, I load up a climactic orchestra montage from the 2024 Game Awards, and it gets a bit foggy as the Baratoro theme begins. The sense of deck building even asserts our own end-of-year top spots, claiming its creator’s “local thunk.” Their latest target is Trampoline Tales developer Dan Dilorio. Maze mouse It’s just released on Steam, and jumping right away will give you a 30% discount.

“If you don’t know Dan, he is the developer behind good fortune, and encouraged me to make Baratoro, influenced many other developers, and expanded the genre he shaped,” he wrote via Bluesky. “His latest gaming maze mouse left early access! You need to check it out! I will play it all weekend.” I might have to follow it. It is smooth, filled with funky beats, easy to understand and makes it a suitable candidate to join our best roguelikes.

The fastest way to describe a maze mouse is as a fusion of Pac-Man, Vampire Survivors, Superhot, and the classic PC game Rodent’s Revenge. Select one of 30 playable mice. Each boasts a unique aesthetic and a specific starting device. You will need to navigate the maze of shifts, collect experience points, and earn all kinds of additional weapons and upgrades. Time moves. This means you can always pause freely and consider your next move.

Among the various items can be placed to deflect furry trackers when they are on the left half of the fur. Many are simple and simple, while others are more risky. For example, a comfortable pillow will force you to rest in the middle of the maze, as time automatically rolls forward, but grabs all the pickups. I rather like dictionary that will significantly increase your current level, but I randomly change all text to another language.

Following the short early access stint, Dilorio has now fully released the Maze Mouse. “I can say I’m happy with the game and feel ready to be called v1.0. I’m not saying I’ll ever add content, but the game doesn’t support development costs.” They added that the relatively short early access period was because “my talented collaborator on this project got the job done much faster than I thought.”
