[[caption-width-right:350:The mouse couldn't eat the cheese!]]
'''[[https://vgperson.com/games/getmouse.htm GET MOUSE]]''' is a short, freeware puzzle game made in Wolf RPG Editor. It's a simple game with 8 stages (and an Ending) where you have to get the mouse his cheese. The game was made available on May 23, 2021. Notably, the game was made by Sen ([=MouSe=]), one of the developers behind ''VideoGame/{{Misao}}'' and ''VideoGame/MadFather''.
Before continuing, please be advised that, due to the game's short length, knowledge of the tropes involved may diminish the experience.

!!Tropes:
* CameraAbuse: The result of a few bad choices, like picking the CartoonBomb in Stage 1.
* CartoonBomb: One of the options in multiple stages is to summon one of these.
* CartoonCheese: Obtaining some [[StockAnimalDiet for a mouse]] is the goal of every stage.
* CrueltyIsTheOnlyOption: The only way to win Stage 3 is [[spoiler:to tell Mouse his dancing sucks]], as otherwise, it's too distracted to notice the Cheese.
* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Losing a Stage just takes the player back to the start of it, with no other penalty.
* ADogNamedDog: The intro to the game states that the mouse protagonist is named Mouse, and that he's a kind-hearted crybaby that would never cause harm to others ([[CameraAbuse a debatable statement]]).
* NonStandardGameOver: While most failures are a quick gag and a cut to black, in Stage 8, there's a whole event for [[spoiler:slaying the mouse instead of feeding it]].
* OutsideTheBoxTactic: Stage 7 has the player move a cursor to find and click on a piece of cheese. [[spoiler:The answer is to move the cursor outside of the main image and on the cheese in the question itself.]] Stage 8 is also somewhat unintuitive, in that [[spoiler:you have to Discard Cheese, rather than use it or slay the mouse]].
* RunningGagStumbles: In the first couple of levels, selecting the CartoonBomb has the mouse [[CameraAbuse kick it at the screen]], failing the stage. However, it's actually the correct option in [[spoiler:Stage 4]].
* SchmuckBait: The first stage gives you three items to choose from: Trash, Cheese, and Bomb. As the stated goal is to get the mouse his cheese, the other two options lead to immediate failure.
* ShoutOut: Stage 6 references ''VideoGame/{{Misao}}'' and ''VideoGame/MadFather'', as well as ''Dudley and the Mysterious Tower'', in that [[spoiler:the player must guess which of the developer's previous games included a mouse to win some cheese]].
* SquashedFlat: The item shoot in Stage 4 is above Mouse instead of next to him, leading to this outcome if a heavy Log is dropped.
* StealthSequel: In the Ending, [[spoiler:the sound of the chainsaw is heard before Mouse and a female mouse escape, and the final shot is them at a grave, indicating that the game is (somehow) set in the same world as ''Mad Father'']].
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: In the Ending, [[spoiler:a pink mouse with a bow in her hair saves Mouse from falling into a trap baited with cheese]].
* UnexpectedGameplayChange: Most of the Stages involve selecting the right command from a list, but Stage 7 has the player move a cursor onto the correct location. [[spoiler:And then Stage 8 is an RPG.]]
