Embark on a thrilling escape in "Mouse Musculus", a fast-paced and intense arcade game set in a cybernetic laboratory. As a genetically enhanced laboratory mouse, you must outmaneuver relentless cyber predators programmed to hunt you down. Your mission: survive as long as you can in the hostile laboratory, where each moment is a tense test of wit and agility.
The key to survival? Cheese, of course! Devour delectable wedges of cheese to trigger "berserk mode." Watch as your mouse transforms into a powerhouse of muscle, turning the tables on your cybernetic pursuers. In this brief window of strength, obliterate your enemies in a burst of fur and fury.
Can you outwit the cybernetic menagerie and make a daring dash for freedom? "Mouse Musculus" is not just a game; it's a pulse-pounding race against time where survival depends on your wit, reflexes, and the power of cheese. Embrace the challenge, collect the cheese, and flex those mouse muscles to triumph in the ultimate test of rodent resilience!

Got ~267,000. Had some issues in HTML version, but only saw afterwards that you mentioned the windows is better. I liked it!
I got 234,500! Initially the browser version didnt work for me (opera GX) but downloading the game made it easy to play! I do think the game feels very fun and silly, I maybe would like to see atleast another level or maybe a boss fight! Thanks for submitting!
I downloaded this and I'll give it a go later. Graphics are cool and I'm intrigued by how much it seems like the exact inverse of my own submission in so many ways.
Space does not dodge, it has a weird shield orbit thing, but no dodging.
Also the game runs at a terrible framerate until you get 1 heart?? that's very bizarre.
you are invincible while the force field (the weird shield orb thing) is active
The performance issues are quite bizarre and I couldn't really figure out why that happens, but it never occurred to me that the framerate gets better at 1 heart(?). I'll look more into it
thanks for the feedback!
Well, then the forcefield...doesn't work.
that's very bizarre, it works for me no problem. Are you playing this on browser or in the exe? And is it that you take damage while in the forcefield or something else altogether?
EXE, It simply doesn't prevent me from taking damage.
