Fumi Games just introduces 'Mouse' which is a [first-person shooter game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-quimera) that is meant to replicate the 'Rubber Hose' drawing style that was prominent during the 1930s. The retro cartoons from [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-4) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fortnite-ballistic).

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.
