Cheese Run

Cheese Run is a 3D side scroller platformer viewed through a fixed lateral camera perspective. Players control a small mouse navigating a vertical platforming level to collect cheese pieces and make it back home, all while escaping a haunting ghost cat that relentlessly stalks the player. The game combines free movement in a 3D with side-scrolling gameplay, focused on fast route decisions, precision jumps, and obstacle evasion.
