What, you didn’t know that it’s a mouse tradition to rip out people’s teeth and play soccer with them? Thankfully, Tooth Mouse will educate you on this pastime.
The mice have captured a human! Rejoice! Now, it is time for every mouse’s favorite blood sport: ripping teeth out of someone’s head and playing soccer with them. It took quite a bit of setting up for this harvest, though. You can see that our poor human is pretty messed up from the capturing process, what with his facial features being all scrambled. Their mouth is being held open with some solid clamps, though, so you’ll be safe for the duration of this sporting event. So, hop on one of the spring-loaded platforms, leap in that mouth, and start grabbing some teeth!
Now, this would all be just gross if you were simply tearing teeth out of someone’s head. The mice have made a game out of it, though, which makes the whole process pretty funny. You and another mouse (played by someone else in local multiplayer) will race toward the mouth to pull out a tooth and race it into the opposing goal. However, there is only one player on each team, so while you’re out ripping out molars, your goal is unguarded. You need to decide if you have time to run in and grab a tooth or if you should try to run interference on your opponent. They can try to run, jump, and shoot it in crafty ways to get around you, though, so it won’t be very easy to stop them.
Tooth Mouse is ridiculous in an unsettling, yet morbidly-funny kind of way. It’s such an absurd concept that there was no way I wasn’t playing it, and it makes for some solid multiplayer fun as you juggle defense and offense while playing soccer with teeth.
Tooth Mouse is available now on itch.io.
