Tom and Jerry in Mouse Attacks! (Europe) (GBC)

In the game Tom and Jerry in Mouse Attacks! for the Game Boy Color, players are immersed in the classic rivalry between Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse, but with a unique twist: you can control both characters, each with completely different objectives and gameplay styles.

When playing as Tom, your primary goal is to chase and catch all the small mice scurrying around in each level. Tom can move agilely, jump over obstacles, and use familiar items like frying pans to stun or capture mice. Tom's levels typically require speed and dexterity to complete the mission within a time limit. You must also be wary of traps set by Jerry or objects that can hinder Tom's progress.

Conversely, when playing as Jerry, the gameplay shifts towards puzzle-solving and escape. Jerry's objective is to collect a sufficient number of cheese pieces scattered throughout the level and then find the safe exit, all while evading Tom's relentless pursuit. Jerry is smaller but nimble and can utilize the environment to hide or even mislead Tom. Jerry can push objects, use items to gain an advantage, or slow Tom down. Jerry's levels often demand strategic thinking, puzzle-solving abilities, and quick reflexes to overcome obstacles and escape from Tom.

The game features a variety of levels, set in familiar locations from the cartoon such as the kitchen, living room, and garden, each with its own unique challenges and secrets. The game's graphics adopt a distinctive cartoon style, faithfully reproducing the characters and the humorous atmosphere of Tom and Jerry. The sound design also contributes to the lively experience, with cheerful background music and sound effects.

Tom and Jerry in Mouse Attacks! is a platformer game that combines action and puzzle elements, offering a unique experience as players get to witness both sides of this endless chase. The alternation between the two characters keeps the game fresh and engaging, requiring players to adapt to different strategies.
