A bit of slippery controls, but understanding the mechanics, you can overlook it.
If you simplify it a lot - the second mouse is only needed for the bridge, the fact that the game needs to be explored on your own is very good, but it would be worth hinting that there is an additional action on the S key.
I liked your various "cutscenes" animation, they are really slick & Smooth.
I'm still not sure of what's the point of the mouse switching mechanism however. And the goal could have been made clearer at the start also.
The music and sfx were great !
Congratulation for your entry !
What really stands out in this game is the charming presentation: The mouse animations, especially the death screens with the squishy mouse are super fun. The house itself is great, with all its poison and nuclear waste bins, it really drives home the death trap vibe in a fun way. Awesome game, great job!
I did a quick demo playthrough here for those that didn't make it to the end . :)

And man, the rat king is picky when it comes to apples.
