About Low Poly Mouse Game
Low Poly Mouse Game is a chaotic co-op simulator pitting 2-4 mice against a single cat in a battle for a human house. Developed by indie studio Pixel Cheese Studios and released on December 9, 2025, it blends sneaky maneuvering with proximity-based voice chat. The mice work together to complete tasks like stealing cheese and sabotaging furniture while avoiding the cat’s hearing. The cat, meanwhile, must track down mice by sound and eliminate them before the team finishes their objectives. Available on PC and Mac, the game thrives on teamwork and communication. It’s a fast-paced, party-style experience where every squeak and pounce matters.
Gameplay
Each session is a frantic dance between stealth and strategy. Mice use WASD to scurry around rooms, crouching to avoid detection and using voice chat to signal movements. The cat controls movement with a mouse, relying on a sound meter to locate targets. Mice must complete objectives like flipping switches or collecting items to “destroy” the house, while the cat resets progress by catching them. Proximity chat forces players to stay close for clear communication but risks exposing their location. Matches last 10-15 minutes, ending in a mouse victory if all objectives are met or a cat win if enough mice are eliminated. The cat can also use special abilities like heightened hearing or temporary invisibility for a challenge.
What Players Think
PlayPile community ratings average 4.3/5, with 72% completing the full campaign and 18% hitting 100% achievements. Average playtime is 5.2 hours, but 42% report 10+ hours due to replayability.

One user wrote, “Feels like a modern-day MUGABE with better graphics.” Steam reviews highlight the “addictive chaos,” though some note the learning curve for balancing stealth and communication.

PlayPile's Take
Low Poly Mouse Game is a must-play for fans of party games and asymmetric multiplayer. Priced at $19.99, it offers tight, replayable matches that reward teamwork and quick thinking. The proximity chat mechanic is divisive but adds a unique layer of tension. Achievements track key milestones like “Stealthiest Cheese Thief” and “House Demolition Specialist.” While not for solo players or those who dislike voice chat, it’s a standout pick for groups looking for lighthearted, competitive fun. If you’ve enjoyed titles like Five Nights at Freddy’s or Overcooked, this one’s on brand.
