WIP:

Control a mouse around the maze to collect cheese while avoiding cats. Collecting a bone will turn you into a dog in which you can eat the cats. Collect all the cheese to clear the maze.

- UPDATES -
Revision 4-5: The rounded wall openings were lengthened, making it easier to tell what part is actually solid. However, the solid tileset used for the player's death animation was never changed, so the rounded openings change in size rapidly.
