* ArmorPiercingAttack: While cats usually need to put mice into a weakened state by reducing their health to zero before they can catch them to tie to a rocket, the flyswatter and some attacks put mice into a special stun that if the cat follows up on with their claw attack, will immediately catch the mice, bypassing the weakened state which in turn gets around the "Blood of Iron" perk card.

* TacticalDoorUse: Even without the "You Shall Not Pass" perk allowing to to be used as an attack, utilizing the doors on some maps has many useful applications, from slowing down a cat in pursuit, preparing an attack on the cat in pursuit who can't see the other side of the closed door, to using it as an alert system, as a door being opened will not just make a sound, but also a visual indicator on the screen. The only drawback is doors will break and become unusable once they've been closed and opened too many times.

* PressXToNotDie: While a mouse is being carried by a cat, they can mash a button to fill a struggle meter which will free them from the cat's grip.

Added DiffLines:

* UnusableEnemyEquipment: While most items can be used by either side, only the cat can pick up and/or utilize the flyswatter, the repair hammer, the gumball machine and the mousetrap.

* AsymmetricMultiplayer: Four mice are trying to pull of a cheese heist while one cat tries to stop them.



* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Some of the playable cats include characters who seem unlikely to be participating in the act of hunting mice, such as Cooper and Angel Tom; the former of whom condemned Tom to hell for hunting mice, and the latter of which who is Tom's conscience arguing for friendship with mice.



* OneHitPointWonder: The Robot Mice used in the Scouting Phase can be destroyed by just about anything, giving some particular skills and items a chance to shine, such as the golf ball which doesn't do much damage, but bounces around with a hitbox that remains active for a long time.

The mice themselves aren't that much better depending on matchups, but the average cat like Tom can take out an average mouse like Jerry in only two claw attacks.


Added DiffLines:

* TotalPartyWipe: While the cat only needs to dispatch three of the four mice to win, if the fourth mouse is also tied to a rocket when the third is dispatched, the cat will get credit for achieving this trope and a higher score.

* CatchAndReturn: Since thrown lit dynamite gets caught automatically, it's important to be mindful of the timing when using it, as throwing it with too much time left on the fuse gives one's opponent ample time to react by using this trope.

** Syrus takes a different approach from Lightning. He can't teleport, but after getting a running start he accelerates into a fast run that electrifies his body and alters his attacks into dash attacks, allowing him to cover a lot of ground and hit hard while he's at it, stunning the mice with his electricity to slow them down for follow up attacks.
