An Overlooked Gem of a Game – Mouse About Review

It's an absolute crime that an original, beautiful, lovingly crafted, highly polished and thoroughly enjoyable game as this is relegated to obscurity here in the App Store, while hundreds of far inferior or downright useless apps are purchased and downloaded thousands of times. This game is the cream of the crop; it shot straight to my phone's front page as soon as I played it once. The developer truly understands how to craft the ideal casual puzzler with a finely tuned learning and challenge curve -- not too easy, not too tough, gently urges you to make more and more strategic choices about which food to go after, and the order in which to do so. The control scheme is elegant in its simplicity and fun to use. The graphics are top-notch. The music is well made, and far from annoying; it really adds to the play experience. This game is a bargain at $2.99, and worth more than dozens of other games at much higher price point. I urge you to download this now, you won't be disappointed. Support this developer with your app dollars, give them the recognition their fine product so richly deserves. Or you can overlook quality apps like this one, drive the small but talented developers away, and find the store filled with dozens of lighter apps, Breakout clones, Sudoku variants, and an endless stream of shoddy tip calculators. Oh wait, that's already happened.
