Mouse Man: Cheese Heist
A downloadable Playdate game
Oh no! The Evil Mr. Whiskers has stolen the Holy Swiss from the world-famous Cheese Expo in Mouseville! You must navigate a complex and devious maze set up by none other than Mr. Whiskers himself. Follow the bits of Swiss through the mazes to find and rescue the Holy Swiss and save the Expo in this fun and fast-paced maze game.
It has 14 levels and a speed run takes about 15-30 minutes, but we encourage you to enjoy the story and mazes as you play. Mouse Man: Cheese Heist autosaves, an exclusively Playdate experience, thoughtfully handcrafted in Pulp. We'd really appreciate it if you'd consider leaving a rating and/or review on your game experience. Keep in mind that Mouse Man: Cheese Heist is still in Beta, so bug fixes and new features and improvements are rolling out all the time.

Plus, there's an easter egg hidden inside the first level (the one with the title name). First one to find it and put a screenshot of it in the comment section will get a special shoutout in the credits in the next release!
Congrats to @deljaroo for finding the easter egg!

Just saying...
congrats, it works well! I particularly like the font. I'm impressed you were able to duplicate the player. Was that hard?
Also, here ya go:
Wow! Congrats on finding the easter egg! I'll put you in the credits in the next release. I'm so glad you like the font! I thought I'd make a custom font, since I haven't seen very many of them in Pulp games. What do you mean by player duplication?
oh I mean how you have your own version of the playdate player on your website
Oh! I just downloaded the entire Pulp Player website with a web browser I created for Mac. (https://teenagetech.github.io/xplore)Then I tweaked the HTML and put it in my page. I made an HTML comment saying that the game itself if property of Teenage Tech, but the code that makes it happen is Panic's. I'll put that in the footer soon as well. Whenever I need to update the game in the online player, I just copy and paste the JSON data into the HTML.
that's very cool
it's fun
Thanks so much for playing!
