  • Thank you! I worked on this in my free time, about 4-8 hours a week roughly, over 2.5 years. It definitely took longer than expected but it was a good lesson in learning how to scope. My biggest regret is probably not doing more design work before I started implementing things.

    I also kind of regret doing most of the art myself, next time I would definitely start with premade assets or work with an artist.

    I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed doing some of my own sound effects though. It turns out you just hit things with other things near a microphone 😆





  • The feedback is very appreciated! I’m collecting a list of things for future patches.

    For the difficulty, I definitely skewed towards more difficult because it’s an arcade style game. There’s always a base of 6 mice per wave, but each power up you purchase adds a mouse to the next wave. The idea is that you can either be really good at bouncing, or you make good use of power ups to be able to reach $70. If you can earn enough to get one power up in a wave, try using that to help start snowballing to higher moneys in subsequent waves
