What makes a good puzzle game? Usually a calm pace, hints or undo options and a gentle but real difficulty curve — and Push the Mouse has each of them in some measure. Under the surface it is a test of planning and planning, dressed up in satisfying presentation.
How to play Push the Mouse
- Start by clicking the big play button. Push the Mouse loads inside the frame; give it a moment, especially on a slow connection.
- Follow the on-screen prompts. The developer describes the controls like this: Touch a mouse to make it move forward Make the mouses reach their cheeses to win
- Read the whole level before your first move. Identify the goal, then look for the forced moves that must happen regardless.
- Use the full-screen button under the frame for the best view, and keep an eye on the score, timer or health display so you know what the game is asking of you.

Tips and tricks
- Read the whole board before your first move. In most puzzle games the first move is the most important one, and it deserves ten seconds of looking.
- Look for forced moves — places where only one option is legal. Solving those first shrinks the problem.
- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- Use undo or restart freely. Experimenting is how you learn the mechanics; there is no penalty for trying an idea.
- Because this is a Brain game, the obvious answer is often a trap in brain-teasers — pause before you click.
Who will enjoy it
We would recommend Push the Mouse to players who prefer thinking to twitching, from casual brain-teaser fans to dedicated solvers. A typical session is a level or two in five minutes, or a long relaxed session. The learning curve is gentle at the start and genuinely tricky later. The controls are tap and drag based, which makes it comfortable on touch screens as well as with a mouse.
