First-Person Vintage-Inspired Games

Mouse is a New Shooter Game Inspired by Vintage Disney

— May 12, 2023 — Tech
Fumi Games just introduces 'Mouse' which is a first-person shooter game that is meant to replicate the 'Rubber Hose' drawing style that was prominent during the 1930s. The retro cartoons from Disney and other studios adopted this style during that time. Players are able to play as a private detective who must blast his way through waves of mobster mice.

The 'crooks' are charming yet disturbing as their heads pop like a balloon and explosions turn opponents into ash. Mouse will also offer players flexibility in how they play and they can blast their weapons or also dodge around. The "Fantastic-o-Matic" upgrade system allows players to boost preferred abilities and weapons through a Bioshock-style vending machine.
