Transformice

Transformice (sometimes abbreviated to TFM, or T4M) is an on line independent multiplayer free-to-play platform gaming, created by French game designers, known by their aliases Melibellule and Tigrounette. Melibellule produces the game's artwork and graphics, while Tigrounette programs the game's functions and mechanics. The game was released on May 1, 2010, playable on browsers as a browser game[1] until Adobe Flash Player was discontinued on December 31, 2020. Transformice was published on Steam on January 30, 2015, as a free-to-play game.

The key objective of the overall game is to collect a piece of cheese put into one or more location on a map. Players control a mouse with the arrow keys or the WASD keys to perform, duck, jump and perform various techniques, such as wall jumping, long jumping, turn arounds, and corner jumping. Players' mice must touch the cheese to gather it. And, the gamer must take the collected cheese back once again to the map's mouse hole to finish. The number of cheese and mouse holes varies between maps. Players are awarded points on a scoreboard that is updated in real-time. Bonus points are awarded for players who place first, second or third. Collecting cheese is recorded in to a player's permanent stats when you can find about 2 or maybe more players in the room. Players may also be given extra recognition within their stats for finishing first when you will find eleven or maybe more players in the room. Maps have an over-all time limit of two minutes, at which time a new map is loaded. Maps can instantly switch before the full time limit if all players complete the map or die. The timer will change to 20 seconds if the Shaman dies or there if are just two mice left on the map. Dying adds one point to a player's score on the scoreboard, no real matter what time in the game it is or the explanation for death.

When a player reaches the highest score on the scoreboard, they'll develop into a Shaman in the next map involving one. The overall objective of the Shaman is to simply help one other mice obtain the cheese and bring it back once again to the hole. This will award the Shaman with "saves" for each mouse who completes the map, which are recorded onto the player's profile. The Shaman can do this by summoning objects such as for example boards, boxes, anvils, spirit, and balloons to produce buildings or contraptions such as bridges to cross gaps or several other obstacles. A Shaman can 'anchor' or connect boards and boxes to other world objects or summoned objects with various-colored nails. Red nails keep a thing firmly grounded and won't move, but it can rotate on the anchor. Yellow nails connect to many other objects, particularly red-nailed ones, and keep an object's placement, but can move. Blue nails connect two objects but are loose and can rotate.

Upon reaching 1,000 total saves as a Shaman, a player can decide becoming a 'hard mode' Shaman. In hard mode, a Shaman cannot use red nails which anchor a subject solidly, nor would they use the Spirit tool, which can push mice and objects with a display of light. Spirit is the only object permitted to be cast outside of summoning range. Instead of this, hard mode Shamans can produce a pre-made 'totem', that is constructed on an in-game editor map. Totems can be constructed with as much as 20 objects, but only one red nail works extremely well as an anchor. A completed totem construction may be summoned instantly as a tough mode Shaman and is immediately functional, but may only be summoned once per map. After saving 5,000 total mice, 2,000 being in hard mode, a new player will unlock the 'divine mode' Shaman setting, an environment released being an update on May 26, 2014.[3] As well as not being able to use red nails and the Spirit tool, a divine mode shaman cannot use yellow nails which connect and stabilize most objects, nor would they work with a totem. Regardless of the constraints, divine mode Shamans have the capability to spawn available objects almost anywhere on a map.

Collected cheese is also saved up and used as currency in the game. Players can make use of this currency to purchase virtual clothing items because of their mouse in the game's item shop. Players can also buy virtual clothing items by purchasing 'fraises', an in-game currency that may be obtained by paying real money. Items are purely visual and do not give bonus stats. Players may also create their very own maps via an in-game editor. Created maps must be verified by a test run of the map where the creator has to be able to successfully collect the cheese and bring it back once again to the hole. Once verified, players can decide to submit their map into rotation at the expense of 40 cheese.

An in-game achievement system awards players with new titles and badges. Titles are awarded for collecting specific numbers of cheese, obtaining a quantity of first place victories, accumulating saves as a Shaman, buying items from the shop and completing events. Badges are awarded for buying almost any fur (except plains) from the shop and completing events.

An event and level system[4] was added on July 29, 2013, allowing mice to unlock Shaman abilities and traits by collecting cheese and saving mice. The abilities are separated into five trees: Spiritual Guide, Wind Master, Mechanician, Wildling, and Physicist. A Spiritual Guide escalates the Shaman's ability to save lots of more mice, a Wind Master is targeted on the Shaman's mobility, a Mechanician provides the Shaman more options in regards to building, a Wildling enhances both objects and mice, and a Physicist escalates the Shaman's power.

Trolling is known as a area of the game, as stated in the in-game 'Help/Rules' menu.[5] Some players infrequently decide to troll, whether playing as the Shaman or perhaps a normal mouse. Shamans can kill other mice by striking them with cannonballs and other objects, creating structures that creates lag to other players, along with blocking them from progressing in the map by building a structure that's impossible to pass. Normal mice can troll by stalling, which is to stay on the map for so long as possible without capturing the cheese. Normal mice might also decide to push the Shaman's buildings off the stage. In maps where there is collision detection, they can also push other mice, including the Shaman, off the stage. Trollers may also use the in-game consumables to make a shaman build go haywire or decrease mice. Common consumables used are: Beachballs, Tombstones, Pumpkin Throwables, Crumbled paper Throwables and the Snowball.
