The shaman will bring Tum-Tum back in time in several occasions to catch the mouse in the house. Each time Tum-Tum visits the house, a ghost of himself appears and follow his past movements. Tum-Tum Will have to avoid every Tum-Tum past, and eat all the mice. Good luck Tum-Tum!

Great idea and love the gameplay.

Enjoyed the audio too, especially when catching a mouse!

Great execution. Realy liked the hand drawn style. One thing, that might be interesting to experiment with is what happens if all/some of the shadows only move if you move.

OMG this was so much fun, one of the few games I actually played longer than just a few seconds :) I love the meow sound :D and I love the shadows ideas

Really nice entry. My one nitpick is that I could not find a way to reset the game without reloading the webpage.

It's a funny interpretation of the theme. I like the art at the intro and the sound of the cat meowing.

@theras That's a very interesting idea! It would make that game almost feel like a strategy game, we'll give it a try!

Nice idea !
I think the music had to be more happy but it fit to the shaman atmosphere.
Great job.

I think that the music didnt fitted that weel, but it wasnt bad! But overall, very nice!

@orange-oceans Thanks for giving it a try. Actually the idea was to bring a mystical vibe to the game, because of the shaman's help in the overall story. Plus, we wanted to give a Twink Peaks vibe, with the black & white tiles and the curtains!

Meow. The idea of "avoiding your shadows" is very original and fun. I had a good time wondering what's the best strategy, but the game is probably more fun when you just go straight for the mice.
