Quick Look: MouseCraft

I always thought the only thing missing in Minecraft was a strong rodent presence.

Mice! I don't know what else to say.

"Jimmy, bomb the blocks on the right".

Did you mean?

Puzzle game QL's are the worst! It's so infuriating!

I love that Dan's default name for any enemy is simply "idiot."

So this is what that cat was doing inside that box all this time!? I really hope they never open the box then. This is Pandora's box 2.0.

It's frustrating how Dan can't think 1 move ahead.

I, for one, am also glad you're here, @brad.

That's not what this is but congrats on first post I guess.

"Aha! I bomb the blocks on the right!"

I was unsure of this game when I saw it on PSN, but this looks right up my alley.

Should be fun on vita, if I get stuck on 1001 Spikes before Rogue Legacy comes out! Also, crossing my fingers that Shovel Knight makes its way to Vita. It's a good time to be a Vita owner, huh?

Did I say Vita enough?

@beachthunder: I'm sorry Phillips.

@hassun: Hear, hear!

My tentative ranking on how good the staff are on puzzle games:

Drew = Vinny > Patrick = Jeff > Dan > Brad

Brad and Dan were a really good pair in this video.

Me too! :D

Just bomb the two on the right! You already established they can fall three blocks!

Puzzle Game Quicklooks!

Everyday I find more things I love about @DanRyckert.

I, too, am glad you're here, @brad!

I'm not going to lie, this was a painful quicklook to watch...

FYI, This is cross buy for PS4, PS3 and Vita. And after watching this I need to get it just to solve these the way I feel works best. Haha

So this is a remake of Krusty's Fun House?

You should track down a copy of Super Gussun Oyoyo for the Super Famicom. It's basically this, but you can't pause and the tetris blocks are falling. I'm sure it would be really enjoyable and not make you guys want to kill yourselves.

Still waiting for a Jeff/Brad/Dan QL...

Those mice are so cute. D'awww.

Dan: I'm glad you're here.

Brad: Nobody's ever said that before!

Did they just become best friends?

Never again will i watch a QL of a puzzle game.

I got in trouble for yelling too loudly.

Hey there!

It's Crunching Koalas here, the developers of MouseCraft.

Firstly: Dan, Brad, thanks for the video, glad you liked our cheesy little game!

Secondly: if anyone finds MouseCraft interesting, it's already available on our website, Steam, GOG.com and all PlayStation platforms (PS4, PS3 and PS Vita). We have been working almost 2 years on it and we hope you'll all like it ;).

If any of you had some questions, please drop them here - we will definitely be checking the comments :).

Cheers,

Crunching Koalas

PS. In case you missed it, here's our launch trailer. It's pretty cheesy, so watch out :).

Dan's description of Schrodinger's Cat as a "smart guy thing" is just perfect.

Brad, I'M glad you're here.

It should be called MouseTris!

To the GiantBomb crew: Please don't assign to puzzle type Quicklooks people that can't plan/think multiple steps at a time and pay attention to details. It makes the quicklooks painful/frustrating to watch. Thank you and keep on making great content.

@crunchingkoalas: MORE CHEESE PUNS PLZ

@cyberfunk: @crunchingkoalas: No, please no more cheese puns.

I camembert it.

@homelessbird:

That wasn't very Gouda.

@cyberfunk: Give it some time. Cheese puns ripen with age.

Besides, it's always harder when you're keeping it clean. And I never go Bleu.

These mice are too adorable

I'm really surprised this isn't on iOS / Android at the moment, the UI seems verrrry reminiscent of games on mobile platforms. Maybe it's the Vita influence?

Anyways! Seems like a pretty solid puzzle game (I think the name is super dumb, though). I just bought Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake yesterday after that QL, maybe this will be my next puzzler to delve into.

I was just about to Google this info, thanks. I agree with what was said in the video that this probably works pretty well on Vita.

Ugh, that game! Here was me as a little kid, 'Hey, it's the Simpsons and it's got Krusty in it, this looks fun.' Nooope! So frustrating that game was, I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing. I bet if I went back now with an adult brain it might've been okay but damn, and that music, just looping over and over again, it's the sound of death looming as you whittle away your life hours on this game as a kid when you should be having fun instead -

Looks like a solid puzzle game I'm actually pretty interested
Thanks guys

Great to see PS4/PS3/Vita cross buy games. Thanks guys, fun QL.

I propose we nickname Dan "Jimmy" in light of his puzzle solving ability

Once more, they have proven that watching people solve puzzles is infuriating.

@CrunchingKoalas Great to have you here! So, your game looks almost like a perfect match for a tablet, don't you think?

Oh it's Krusty's Super Funhouse!

Dan: "I'm glad you're here!"

Brad: "No one's said that before..."

Hahaha, love Brad pondering quantum physics and Dan calling the ratoids idiots.
