* AllegedlyFreeGame: {{Downplayed}}. You can't buy anything with real currency that will give you an edge in the game, but you can buy strawberries with real world money, which in turn can be used to buy costumes for your mouse. While you ''can'' get costumes by collecting cheese normally, it takes ''for freaking ever'' to do so, since costume items cost a lot of cheese, and usually cost far less strawberries by comparison. [[note]]For example, a costume item that costs 1,000 or so cheese will likely cost 50-100 strawberries, which is around a dollar in real life.[[/note]] The ''Main/{{Steam}}'' also allows you to use money from your Steam wallet to buy Strawberries, too.

** One update made it so that solid balloons will explode if too many mice are standing on top of it, and one shaman skill makes giant bubbles that function the exact same way as solid balloons if someone dies.

Sometimes, the game will add a bit of competition by selecting two Shamans and pitting them against each other in a fight over who can get more mice to the hole of their color.

Because getting in each other's way is of course what this game is all about. Most maps are completely trivial and could easily be navigated successfully with zero casualties if it weren't for the fact that the mice tend to rush recklessly forward at the earliest opportunity. There are two reasons for this. The first reason lies in the scoring system. The player with the highest score gets to be Shaman in the next round, then their score is reset and they start over. Players score points by bringing cheese to the hole, and the more people they are quicker than, the more points they get. The second reason is that getting cheese first unlocks various [[CosmeticAward titles]]. [[HilarityEnsues The consequences of this arrangement are apparent.]]

* ArtifactTitle: The "transform" part of the name comes from an early version where the mice could transform into shaman items.
** Version 0.154 re-introduced the mouse transformation in special maps.
* ArtificialStupidity: Completely averted, due to all the mice being controlled by other players. Not that you could tell just by watching, mind you.
* AmbidextrousSprite: Monocles, ribbons, eyepatches etc. switch from side to side depending on which way the mouse is facing.
* {{Balloonacy}}: Balloons can be used to lift items and mice.
* BlatantItemPlacement: Sometimes a map is nothing more than an empty room with a piece of cheese in it. [[DeathTrap Results]] [[CartoonBomb may]] [[SchmuckBait vary]].

* FrictionlessIce: Annoyingly, ice walls can't be walljumped off of, which is especially deadly when jumping from one thin ice spike to another.
* GameBreakingBug: The game's physics engine can, on occasion, sabotage a Shaman's bridge-building efforts simply because of the odd ways in which the various pieces interact with each other. Fortunately, because it only affects one stage at a time, it can be [[SoBadItsGood very entertaining to watch.]]
** When two shamans each build an item at the same time, the game can occasionally get their properties mixed up, resulting in the items being physically connected to each other despite being in two different parts of the room. [[ItGotWorse Then they start interacting with the environment.]] [[HilarityEnsues "LOL PHYSICS"]] indeed.
*** The same thing used to happen with snowballs.
* GimmickLevel: There's the occasional upside-down level. This includes the mice's names and speech bubbles.
* GravityScrew: There's a level in which the gravity switches after a few seconds. Naturally, it consists of a flat floor, has no roof or platforms of any kind, and [[EverythingIsTryingToKillYou the sky kills you]].
* [[{{Griefer}} Griefing]]: If a Shaman is a dick, there is not much the other mice can do about it. It is also possible on certain maps to screw over other players.
** Imagine if the other players had a deliberate means of knocking other players and shamans off precarious platforms and messing up careful structural design, including pushing invisible objects. Well, thanks to the likely seasonal addition of snowballs, they did, but they have been removed.
* IncrediblyLamePun: Some of the titles. "The Cheesen One," anyone?
* ItAmusedMe: It might as well be named ''Trolling: The Game''.
* JumpPhysics: [[WallJump Walljumping]] and [[DoubleJump airjumping]] abounds. Both are technically bugs, though.
* LevelEditor
* LuckBasedMission: Your success in most of the pusher maps depends entirely on where you spawn in the mouse pile. Most levels are also impossible to finish if you happen to get a shaman who doesn't know what to do.
** Also, the Fan God maps. The shaman is supposed to stop the fan from moving, but if the shaman dies while doing so/doesn't know what to do/is AFK or if you want to be first, you just have to run under it and pray that it won't fling you off the screen.
** Map 99, if you want first.
** In map 41, you start in a special car that the Shaman is supposed to push to the cheese and back. You better hope you glitch out of the box, or no cheese for you ^_^
* NiceHat: Quite a few. A Soviet-looking CommissarCap among them.
* NintendoHard: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Boot Camp mode]].
* NonindicativeName: The mice actually don't transform... until version 0.154, which introduced a couple of special maps where mice ''do'' transform.
* NoPlotNoProblem: Mice want cheese. That's all there is to it.
* ObviousTrap: It doesn't matter ''how'' obvious, ''someone'' will run straight into it.
* OcularGushers: The "/cry" command.
* [[RedOniBlueOni Pink Shaman Teal Shaman]]
* PitTrap: How about a fake floor surrounded by normal, visually indistinguishable floor? Located on a map that looks identical to another map, which has a normal solid floor throughout?
** How about a level with four chunks of cheese, three of which have under them aforementioned invisible pits? How about having these pits distributed ''randomly'' each time the level starts? Yeah...
* RandomlyDrops: The Christmas presents in the 2011 Christmas event have a 10% chance of giving you an item, 40% chance of giving you a piece of cheese, and 50% chance of giving you nothing whatsoever.
* RedHerring: Sometimes [[MemeticMutation the cheese is a lie]].
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The mice.
* RunningGag: There are several maps that look to be a [[ObviousTrap straight run to the cheese with no visible obstacles]].
* SequenceBreaking: The game world actually extends beyond the edges of the screen, which can be used to bypass some obstacles on certain maps.
* ShoutOut: "[[{{Seinfeld}} No cheese for you!]]"
** Also, one of the {{Cosmetic Award}}s you can buy with your cheese is a pair of TriangleShades, which resemble either [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2 the Mouser]]'s or [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]]'s.
*** You can buy [[TheSimpsons Marge Simpson]]'s hair, [[DragonBall Super Saiyan 2]] hair, {{Mario}}'s cap, {{Asterix}}'s helmet, {{Viewtiful Joe}}'s helmet and VideoGame/MegaMan's helmet in the shop, as well as an eggshell hat reminiscent of [[VideoGame/YoshisIsland Yoshi]]'s. [[TouhouProject Yuuka's PC-98 Nightcap]] is also available.
*** Red and green [[StarWars lightsabers]], [[{{Bleach}} Urahara's hat and Zangetsu]] are also available.
*** And now WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic-inspired hairstyles. Cue ColbertBump from Equestria Daily.
** The title you get for collecting 1800 cheese is "The Reaper". [[AC:[[{{Discworld}} Squeak.]]]]
** The title you get for getting 1800 firsts is "[[SonicTheHedgehog Sonic The Mouse]]".
* SlashCommand
* SpringJump: The shaman can summon a trampoline on most maps. There's also a map that is essentially an enclosed box with walls that bounce mice up to [[MemeticMutation warp speed]].
** Then there's lava, which will make you fly off the screen unless you hold the jump button when jumping on it.
* TemporaryPlatform: Some normal ones, and a [[PlatformHell made-of-ice]] variation.
* TimedMission: You get 2 minutes per level, and if the shaman(s) die or there are only two mice left in the game, the clock is reset to 20 seconds.
* TooDumbToLive: Some levels are blatant deathtraps, yet inevitably at least half the mice rush blindly towards their doom anyway.
* TrialAndErrorGameplay
* VictoryPose: The /dance command, [[CaptainObvious which makes your mouse do a little dance]], can be used for this effect.
* VideoGameCaringPotential: The whole idea behind the shaman is to help other players. In theory. In practice, however...
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: ''And how.'' Note, however, that any and all cruelty is done upon real players.
* WideOpenSandbox: You have a map layout, the mice, the cheese, and the mousehole. Everything else is up to you.
* WikiRule: [[http://www.transformicewiki.com/index.php?title=Main_Page Didn't even take that long.]]
* WreakingHavok: It uses the [[http://www.box2d.org/ Box2D]] engine.
* XMeetsY: Observing the usual course of a game, one would surmise that this is a multiplayer version of ''{{Lemmings}}''.)
