MouseCraft will be making its way to the Ouya console on November 20th

A rather enjoyable looking game is heading to the Ouya console this month called MouseCraft. The best way to describe this game is that it resembles the older classic game Lemmings in terms of the mechanics that you will be dealing with. The goal is to get the mice to the cheese in each level.

Where this game differs from Lemmings and similar games is that the mice themselves don’t do anything special, they just walk continuously. Players will have to use Tetris-style pieces in order to get the mice to the cheese. Of course there isn’t just gaps that you have to worry about when getting the mice to said cheese. There also happens to be things like explosives, homicidal robotic rats, electrified platforms, and vats of acid, just to name a few of the obstacles that are present.

MouseCraft Features:

  • Experience a remix of two classic gameplay mechanics: Pile up Tetromino bricks to create a safe path for as many mice as possible.
  • Discover an epic tale of a crazy cat scientist who is striving to unlock the potential of a mysterious, mice-powered machine.
  • Defeat obstacles, overcome gaps and gather collectibles by using different types of blocks, of blocks, be them explosive, crumbling or even jelly ones.
  • Prove your stacking skills in your own style- freeze the game by using the Active Pause feature or increase the speed any time you want.
  • Get involved by creating your own maps and show off your creativity by sharing them with our community.
  • Chill out listening to the funky soundtrack scored by Mikolai Stroinski, the composer for Dark Souls 2, The Witcher 3 and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.
  • 80 hand-crafted levels (about 6-10 hours of gameplay).
  • 7 different types of Tetromino Bricks, 2 types of Enviromental Hazards, Bombs, Enemies…
  • 4 different locations.
  • Level Editor which allows you to create your own maps.
  • Full Steam integration, including: Cloud Saves, Achievements, Leaderboards and Trading Cards.
  • Cross-Buy and Cross-Save integration on PlayStation consoles – get one copy, play on 3 consoles and sync your saves to the cloud.

One of the really good features about this game isn’t really about what happens in the game. MouseCraft features cross-buy and cross-save which basically means if you have purchased this game already on the other consoles it is currently available on, such as the Playstation, you will be able to play it already on the Ouya as well as import your progress. Same goes with if you buy the Ouya version as your initial copy.

MouseCraft will be hitting the Ouya Marketplace on November 20th, 2014. It’ll cost you $14.99 to start getting mice to some cheese safely but considering you can play this on all consoles when you purchase it, the price is actually not bad at all.
