Cute rodent game with some clever puzzles, it is rather forgiving since most puzzles don't require a specific sequence or a strict time limit. However, this can make it a little too easy at times, even when collecting all the cheese. Also a little disappointing that the demo is already almost half the game, though the price isn't unreasonable for the content. Would like to see a content update or sequel with more puzzles and hopefully a level editor, maybe additional challenges in the form of minimum number of moves and speed.
