The game has 32 levels in which the player guides a mouse through a vibrantly-colored maze, attempting to grab and eat food, run, dodge and score, depending on the level.

There are two single player modes:

  • Story: sequential puzzles where the player earns a score and rank on each puzzle
  • Battle: player competes against a number of mice to see who can score the most points in the shortest amount of time

Multiplayer

The game supports up to both co-op and competitive four player multiplayer, locally or over Xbox Live.
