The Courageous Mouse 

is a puzzle / exploration game, where you guide a fearful yet courageous mouse to explore his forest home; however, you can only move a limited number of times before he scampers back to safety! After every loop you craft your own map, viewable in-game, to help guide you through the labyrinthian woods and to the ultimate treasure within.


Controls:

WASD or Arrow Keys to move.

R to Reset your loop.

ESC to quit

Tab / M to open the minimap.

Left and Right click to draw / erase on the large map.

Developer Advice:

Make sure to draw your own map early and often, via the "Map your Progress" button on the end of loop screen!

This is a REALLY!!! Cute game. Stumbled upon it by chance, spent the last few hours trying to solve it, filled a few pages of gridded paper to chart a map and I still have not finished. I-ll probably attempt to finish tomorrow since the bed calls. It-s adorable and I enjoy the challenge! Great game
