Mouse Required

Find and free your cursor friends!


Music and SFX by Nexusnecromance

Made for Lowrezjam 2025

... and ranked 2nd overall!


(Since this game uses mouselock, you might experience the cursor sliding without moving your mouse)
(Either going fullscreen, downloading the exe, or using the anti-sliding setting should help fix this)


Ironically, you can use the arrowkeys and z/x instead of the mouse.

I had to cut a lot of ideas for the game jam, but I hope to explore this idea again in the future!

I see I'm not alone in feeling the first major puzzle is harder than the rest of the game.

(+2)

(+15)

It's the 3 levels before it. 5 because the way you click the numbers forms a 5
2--1
|           
3--4
        |
6-- 5 
4 because the maze's walls have a 4 in them
9 because you have to click the button 9 times.

smart but also kinda dumb

Pretty dang good li'l game

the other mice drawing little doodles is a neat detail to me

(+4)

God the invert controls mechanic was EVIL lmfao, very well made

IKR! That was PURE ragebait! My impatient arse couldn't... 😭😭

(1 edit)

how do you even get past the first room? T.T

Go to the left, then click on the button 9 times.

Super well made!

Surprising from beginning to end! This is incredibly well done.

I loved that one moment where you had to go to settings
