Naughty Mouse is an arcade platformer released by Amenip in 1981. Running on modified Z80 hardware, this vertical climbing game challenges you to guide a brave mouse from the bottom of the screen to its girlfriend’s house at the top, navigating a network of ladders while avoiding woodpeckers that hatch from eggs.
How to Play
The goal is to reach the destination at the top of the screen before the time runs out. Use the arrow keys to move and climb ladders, and press the action buttons (Z or X) to jump over enemies. You can use Shift to insert coins and Enter to start the game. Be mindful of your path, as certain ladders become electrified after you climb them, preventing you from going back down.
Tips
- Plan your route ahead of time, as electrified ladders can quickly trap you if you need to retreat.
- Master the timing of your jump to clear enemies safely when moving across horizontal platforms.
- Reaching the top quickly awards a larger time bonus, so prioritize efficient climbing once the path is clear.
