Transformice (TFM) is an online multiplayer Flash game released on 1 May 2010. It was created by Melibellule (artist) and Tigrounette (programmer). Transformice was released on Steam on 30 January 2015, as a free-to-play game.
Gameplay
The gameplay in the game is straightforward: in a variety of maps you have to find and carry a piece of cheese back to a mouse hole. Some maps have complex puzzles involved which can only be solved with the help of the all-powerful shaman, who is chosen based on the high score. Completing maps will result in being awarded with titles and cheese. Cheese allows you to buy clothing accessories in the shop.
Mice
As a mouse, you have only one goal: collect the cheese and navigate back to the safety of your mouse hole with or without the help of the shaman. The mice can just move around using the arrows keys (or, alternatively, W, A, S and D) to duck, jump and move.
Shaman
The shaman is a mouse with the additional ability to summon objects, and in some cases must help the regular mice to overcome an otherwise insurmountable obstacle. Shamans are distinguished from the other mice by various markings on his fur and by a feather on their head. The array of objects the shaman has access to varies from map to map: in one map the shaman may spawn their full repertoire, in the next the shaman can only draw a path by using the conjuration. As the shaman, your controls are a bit more advanced and you will need a mouse or touchpad.
