A new shooter, Mouse, is in the works to offer up another nostalgic and classic feeling title with Mouse using a fun style
Here we go with another new game coming out there that is going to hit all of those classic cartoon feels with Mouse. This is another title in the works from Fumi Games that takes us all back to the 1930s with the rubber hose animation and style look for this shooter. Something that all looks like it is heavily inspired and pulling from another famous mouse out there. Having a look at it all will be fairly easy to see. As long as it all does not get blocked by that company while we wait for this one to hit up the PC when it does finally land.
While it is fun to see what we have here for Mouse, it is very clearly still in the early stages of things. Like, very early stages. Levels are mostly still the basic blocks of the game engine and the enemy AI still feels a little wonky, but this is all just an announcement to show us what could be coming. Given that the copyright on the aforementioned mouse is coming up soon, this could be more to cause the hype for the developer now so that when the year is up it does not feel like a quick cash grab. I could also be just talking out the side of my head for it all and this could be another Cuphead thing where it just feels close but is its own thing.
Mouse — Teaser
Step into a world of cartoon animation and retro action-packed adventure in Mouse. Inspired by the best of 30s rubber hose animation and the classic noir style, this retro shooter is a story-driven experience that will take you on a thrilling journey through a dangerous and corrupt city.
Armed with a variety of mid-century firearms and explosives like the Revolver, Tommy Gun, Hammer, Carcano, Dynamite, you’ll be able to take on enemies in any way you choose. Whether you prefer to run and gun, jump, and dodge, or carefully plan your attacks, Mouse gives you the freedom to approach combat your way.
And with the Fantastic-o-Matic power-up system, you’ll be able to upgrade your weapons and abilities to become even more deadly. Look for the vending machines scattered throughout the city and choose the power-ups that best suit your playstyle.
But be warned: the city is full of danger and betrayal. To survive, you’ll need to stay sharp and keep your wits about you. With every step you take, you’ll uncover more of the story and find yourself caught up in a web of deceit and murder.
So gear up, get ready to fight, and take on the challenges of Mouse – a retro shooter that will take you on an unforgettable adventure.
Developed by Fumi Games, Mouse is available to wishlist on Steam. Its release date is to be announced.
What are your thoughts on Mouse as it all stands for now? Is it still too early to be able to make a solid judgment on it all or does it look like it could be the next big thing as the other game is?

Take those thoughts into the comment section and then let the discussion flow. We will have more for Mouse as we find it out there. Please keep coming back here to see and hear it all as it does come.
