This is Mousey
For some reason you’re in my apartment unattended.

it’s soooo good! the physics are wonky, and it’s fun to mess around in a futile attempt to catch this mouse… especially cause it moves through geometry. nice sound, and a surprise, funny ending. entertaining
Pretty cool. I was surprised how fast the cup and ballon flew across the room. I got a little frustrated by how heavy the lamp and TV were. I did not connect to the mouse character at all, I sort of forgot about it as my focus went to moving the objects. I did not realize I was supposed to make noise till the very end when the ballon popped. Nice work.
I like that the mouse is totally arbitrary, although I guess the impetus for doing things in the room. I think the end isn’t especially exciting since I want to throw something at the guy in the door. Or sic the mouse on him. I just don’t feel like it does enough what is a pretty nifty way to get people to interact.

seriously that was hilarious though, STOP BREAKING MY HOUSE etc
So, my main issue is that there is no master timer and since the balloon can sometimes pass through where the walls meet or other spaces caused where by colliders overlapping (like the floor and the table) it can end up outside of the scene and never pop. Also, you can smash the cup by bringing the balloon straight down on it, and the cup will shatter easily while the balloon will stay intact. But these problems are really minor, in general it is a fun little experience, I am annoyed by the mouse moving through objects, I wish he just squeezed out of the way or had a crazy low mass so he flew off at an incredible rate if you actually managed to him him with something, but it gets the point across which is all that matters I suppose. The ending is very clever.
That was really freaking cool. I didn’t notice that the door was a video clip until the end, so well done. I was able to throw the balloon out of the frame though, which was a hassle and I had to restart. You kind of lose the objective of catching the mouse – it kinda left me in a “dammit, what about the pineapple!?” situation if you’re familiar with the earlier seasons of How I Met Your Mother
I conclude that I am a jedi.
Cool. To me the most interesting features were the integration with the live action video and playing with the light – it’s something you don’t see very often even in AAA games. Consider thinking about a gameplay centered on these two things.
