Mousebusters continues Odencat’s trend of pairing adorably detailed, charming spritework with an interesting story. It won’t last long! It’s not terribly difficult. But it’s quite entertaining while it lasts.

Mousebusters is an adventure game with point-and-click, puzzle, and shoot ’em up elements. The gameplay loop is okay but slow at times. The characters are fun but not all of them stick the landing. The narrative can be slow but picks up in the second half leading to a satisfying ending. While it has issues the last hour of the game more than make up for them and I enjoyed my time with it. Especially since you can beat it in an afternoon.
