Mouse Mouse Purgatory is a bullet hell where you are a computer mouse battling in Mouse Purgatory. Here, your enemies spew many colors and shapes of projectiles, which you must strategically select which colors to absorb. Absorbing these projectiles collects ammunition, enabling you to return fire on the source of the oncoming projectiles. Every set of 2 or 3 projectiles gives you a unique attack to utilize. To avoid damage, you must avoid different colors from those you are collecting. Avoid the colors not adjacent in hue to those in your ammunition.  Dodge and persevere, trying to fight your way through to fix the clerical error that consigned you to this hell.

You are the Mouse, a digital device sent to a Purgatory meant for the animals also called Mice. You simply want to reach your intended end, but everyone seems to want to kill you (again!) for some reason.

Your challenge is to absorb shapes, create combinations, and fight to survive!

Designed for fans of: Undertale/Deltarune, Touhou, Bullet Soul.

Funding

To this point, this game has been a passion project of mine, and I’ve been having some financial difficulty. I am making this funding project for the purpose of getting enough money to support myself for the duration of production, so that everyone can enjoy the game.

Besides personal support, funding will also be used to pay for the Steam submission fee, which will enable me to publish the game, providing backers with keys and pricing it for all others at around 10 dollars.

Timeline

At this point, the first 4 worlds are already complete, with about 4 levels per world. The Save system is in progress, and the Endless system is also in progress.

If this project is funded, it is expected to release around June 2026, giving backers time to give their pitches and time for some of those pitches to be implemented.

Once released initially, I plan to do occasional updates to fix any major bugs encountered.

The Developer

This project is primarily a one-person project, made by me. I go by many names, typically by Drageon or Sirius. While my expertise is in programming, I am proficient in songwriting, and sufficient in some means of pixel art.

Thank you for reading, and considering supporting this project.
