Steam Awards Nomination Time!

Why Nominate My Game?

• Toe-nibbling mastery: Enter a world where a tiny mouse is on a mission to nibble every last toe, creating an experience like no other. Utilise the environment to your advantage, hide in cover or behind objects to break line-of-sight with enemies, and time your pounce perfectly so you don't get caught in the fray.
• FOMO abolished: One of the trends I very much dislike in games is FOMO mechanics including limited time events. So, here I've added bonus seasonal levels including Easter levels, Christmas levels, and Halloween levels, and you can play them anytime you want; they will never disappear! How about that?
• Ludonarrative consistency: It was an important design aspect to portray the concept of an apocalypse that the protagonist itself is actively causing, all told both through the story and the gameplay/levels themselves. This environmental story telling isn't about lore, it's about highlighting the devastating actions that the protagonist is partaking in, separating itself from almost any other game with environmental storytelling.
• Unabashedly creative: This is a game specifically designed to be a true expression of original ideas and creativity. There are no popular trends; this isn't a rogue-lite/like or Survivor-like or Souls-like or any other oversaturated genre where the main goal is marketability at the expense of originality and creativity. I want you to enjoy the game for being something a little different :D
• Bespoke experience: It is unfortunately, but understandably rare these days for a very small budget indie game without a publisher or funding to feature a complete lack of any store bought/stock assets or AI generative assets. All the code and art were made from scratch to truly harmonise the entire game.

How to Nominate:

New bonus levels

• 3 extra large challenge levels Want a challenge? Try these new large levels!
• 3 festive Xmas levels Merry Christmas! Enjoy these new snowy levels and nibble those snowmen. Features new objects including candy cane streetlights, lots of snow, presents, snowmen you have to nibble, and falling snow for the complete white Christmas experience!
  
• 3 springy Easter levels Go on an Easter Egg hunt! But watch out for all those bunnies. Go through the park and collect all the easter eggs, while avoiding the cute bunnies that are trying to catch you.
  
• 3 spooky Halloween levels One small mouse alone in a dark abandoned mall, trying to find all the cheese... spooky! Featuring Halloween decorated objects, a new darkness effect and a grain effect for extra analog horror spook!
  

Numerous Improvements

• Mouse control Control the mouse using your own mouse (hold left click)
• Gameplay mechanic change Instead of automatically progressing when nibbling someone, they now drop a piece of cheese you need to collect which counts toward the level progress. Be wary, this new kind of cheese doesn't heal you!
• Cuter animals Cats, dogs, and the new bunnies all have visible legs and walking/running animations, making them look even cuter :D
• Level number and time display When starting a level, it will briefly tell you what level you are on so you know where you're up to. And when paused, it will tell you the level number and also the current time elapsed to help you keep track when going for the speedrun achievement!
• Skip cutscenes Cutscenes are now skippable by holding down the interact key
• Miscellaneous bug fixes Fixes include: people going offscreen softlocking the level, incorrect hitboxes, and gun people having slightly off aiming (they are no longer Stormtroopers, so watch out!)
