Press release:
Melbourne, Australia – April 10, 2024.
PlaySide Publishing – in partnership with Fumi Games – has revealed the latest gameplay teaser for the upcoming 1930s noir-fueled, cartoon-inspired FPS – “MOUSE“.

“In a brave, new world, anyone can be whoever they want to be. And nothing says YOU more than a can of healthy spinach! Spike-D Spinach – now with a special, secret ingredient! Kids, remember your five a day!”

Premiering as part of the Triple-i Initiative Showcase, the latest gameplay trailer teases some of the brand-new gameplay mechanics in development, including:

Grappling Hook – Enables attachment to designated points for rapid movement and traversal.

Helicopter – Reduces descent speed and facilitates extended aerial traversal.

PowerUp Spinach – Used to augment and enhance melee gameplay.

Alongside the new gameplay showcase, MOUSE has launched its official Discord server.

‘MOUSE is incredibly important to all of us here at Fumi Games, and we’re committed to making sure that it lives up to all of the expectations. Our goal has always been to create a game that combines our passion for animation with our passion for first-person shooters.

We are genuinely committed to collaborating closely with the MOUSE community to craft a game that truly resonates with players. We’ll aim to share more details – whenever possible – as development progresses. Our partnership with PlaySide and our dedicated and talented team is working hard to bring you the finest grandboomer cartoon shooter ever created!’ – Mateusz Michalak, CEO of Fumi Games

Announced in 2023 and set to launch in 2025, MOUSE boasts a unique visual style inspired by the charm of 1930s rubber hose animation, transporting players to a nostalgic era of early cartoons. Players assume the role of a private detective navigating a noir city teeming with mob violence and a host of characters from the criminal underbelly.

Unravel a quest for justice in a city mired in chaos and corruption. Utilize a diverse arsenal of weapons, power-ups, and explosives to thwart corrupt politicians’ takeover ambitions. The game’s playful weaponry, unique health display, and cartoon-inspired enemy behavior add a lighthearted twist to the FPS genre.
