Play OverviewPlay Overview

Mouse & Crane (2024) is a cooperative puzzle game about three unlikely friends who live in a harbour and fix machines. You collect junk materials and use them to make useful tools, then control Crane and Electryna to help Mouse by completing challenges. It stands out for its handmade storybook feel and how it accommodates really young players with help from adults.

Three anthropomorphic animals, Mouse, Crane and Electryna, live in the harbour. They use old materials to repair and build the machines and equipment needed to fix a spaceship that will take Mouse back home to outer space.

There is progression through the game, but because it's designed for younger players it's also designed to be fun to just muck around in. There's creative problem-solving and cooperation with a focus on upcycling, recycling, and construction.

The result is a game that depicts the beauty of friendship and the power of using your imagination to build things and solve problems. As well as problem-solving, you can build new things with everyday tools such as screwdrivers and glue guns.
