Fazit
MouseCraft bietet dir eine Mischung aus Lemmings und Tetris, welches dir ein taktisches Denkspiel ermöglicht. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

MouseCraft is actually a very fun, but intellectually stimulating puzzle game where your goal is to "guide" 3 mice to the cheese and collect blue shards each level. To do this, you place/destroy different types of tetris like blocks for the mice to move on or other purposes. Now this sounds pretty straightforward, and it is quite simple to actually beat any level. However, it actually gets quite challenging if you want to perfectly finish each level with all three mice and all the blue shards. This game really goes to challenge my ability to not just think before the puzzle begins, but also while it is happening (many puzzles require you to take action while the mice are already moving). There were a few puzzles I was just stuck on for a while, but ultimately got through them perfectly. MouseCraft also does a good job balancing the existing mechanics with introducing new ones as you progress forward.
Overall, very solid game that is worth the time.
Rating: 8.5/10
Recommend Price: $9.99 (full price is worth it, but you can definitely find it on sale)

A delightful melding of "Tetris" and "Lemmings." With cats!

I have no idea why this game isn't more popular. It's an amazing logic game and one of the best in my opinion. It looks nice, it has cool music and most importantly - good and challenging puzzles. If you want a good logic game to play - don't even think, just buy it. You won't regret.

game is challenging , only problem is information that comes on at the beginning flashes off to quickly and I am not a speed reader. Otherwise game is pretty good and entertaining. Keep up the good work!

The first puzzles are so not puzzling, for a moment, they made me worry that the game was going to play itself. After all, it's advertised as PEGI 3.
Fortunately, puzzles soon require a modicum of thinking, and new mechanics keep being introduced every few stages, as good puzzle games classically do.
Not hard, but entertaining.
Love the presentation.
The only flaw I noticed is some interface overlap, in some wide levels, that renders the pause button quasi-inaccessible to the controller, forcing me to use the keyboard occasionally.

MouseCraft is a lot like TIM (The Incredible Machine) from the 90s, except you use tetris blocks to complete the puzzles rather than various world items, and you have three mice to get to safety instead of just 1.
The game is a bit more complex than flat out tetris blocks manipulation, since they come with various functions such as TNT bricks, gelatinous bricks, indestructible bricks, destructible bricks, and you also have to navigate your mice through hazards such as acid and electric bricks.
There are also "evil" mice that will eat your mice, too, if you're not too careful.
This game can be very fun, enjoyable, and satisfying for anyone that enjoys puzzle solving. If you like tetris, you'll probably enjoy this game even more. Thumbs up for me!
