Transformice

Transformice (sometimes abbreviated to TFM, or T4M) is an on line independent multiplayer free-to-play platform gaming, created by French game designers, known by their aliases Melibellule and Tigrounette. Melibellule produces the game's artwork and graphics, while Tigrounette programs the game's functions and mechanics. The overall game was initially released on May 1, 2010, playable on browsers as a browser game[1] until Adobe Flash Player was discontinued on December 31, 2020. Transformice premiered on Steam on January 30, 2015, as a free-to-play game.

The main objective of the overall game is to gather a bit of cheese put in one or more location on a map. Players control a mouse with the arrow keys or the WASD keys to operate, duck, jump and perform various techniques, such as wall jumping, long jumping, turn arounds, and corner jumping. Players' mice must touch the cheese to get it. After which it, the gamer must take the collected cheese back again to the map's mouse hole to finish. The number of cheese and mouse holes varies between maps. Players are awarded points on a scoreboard that is updated in real-time. Bonus points are awarded for players who place first, second or third. Collecting cheese is recorded in to a player's permanent stats when you will find about 2 or even more players in the room. Players will also be given extra recognition in their stats for finishing first when you will find eleven or maybe more players in the room. Maps have a general time limit of two minutes, at which time a fresh map is loaded. Maps can instantly switch before the time limit if all players complete the map or die. The timer will change to 20 seconds if the Shaman dies or there if are merely two mice left on the map. Dying adds one time to a player's score on the scoreboard, no real matter what time in the overall game it's or the reason for death.

Whenever a player reaches the best score on the scoreboard, they will turn into a Shaman next map involving one. The overall objective of the Shaman is to help another mice obtain the cheese and take it back again to the hole. Doing so will award the Shaman with "saves" for each mouse who completes the map, which are recorded onto the player's profile. The Shaman can do this by summoning objects such as for instance boards, boxes, anvils, spirit, and balloons to generate buildings or contraptions such as for example bridges to cross gaps or many other obstacles. A Shaman can 'anchor' or connect boards and boxes to other world objects or summoned objects with various-colored nails. Red nails keep a subject firmly grounded and will not move, but it could rotate on the anchor. Yellow nails connect to most other objects, particularly red-nailed ones, and keep an object's placement, but can move. Blue nails connect two objects but are loose and can rotate.

Upon reaching 1,000 total saves as a Shaman, a player can decide to become 'hard mode' Shaman. In hard mode, a Shaman cannot use red nails which anchor a thing solidly, nor would they utilize the Spirit tool, which could push mice and objects with a thumb of light. Spirit is the only object permitted to be cast beyond summoning range. In lieu of this, hard mode Shamans can cause a pre-made 'totem', which will be constructed on an in-game editor map. Totems could be constructed with up to 20 objects, but only 1 red nail works extremely well being an anchor. A completed totem construction could be summoned instantly as a hard mode Shaman and is immediately functional, but may only be summoned once per map. After saving 5,000 total mice, 2,000 being in hard mode, a person will unlock the 'divine mode' Shaman setting, an environment released being an update on May 26, 2014.[3] In addition to not to be able to use red nails and the Spirit tool, a divine mode shaman cannot use yellow nails which connect and stabilize most objects, nor can they work with a totem. Inspite of the constraints, divine mode Shamans have the capability to spawn available objects almost anywhere on a map.

Collected cheese can be saved up and used as currency in the game. Players can make use of this currency to purchase virtual clothing items because of their mouse in the game's item shop. Players can also buy virtual clothing items by purchasing 'fraises', an in-game currency which can be obtained by paying real money. Items are purely visual and don't give bonus stats. Players may also create their very own maps via an in-game editor. Created maps must be verified by way of a test run of the map where in actuality the creator needs to have the ability to successfully collect the cheese and bring it back again to the hole. Once verified, players can choose to submit their map into rotation at the expense of 40 cheese.

An in-game achievement system awards players with new titles and badges. Titles are awarded for collecting specific numbers of cheese, obtaining a certain amount of first place victories, accumulating saves as a Shaman, buying items from the shop and completing events. Badges are awarded for buying any type of fur (except plains) from the shop and completing events.

An experience and level system[4] was added on July 29, 2013, allowing mice to unlock Shaman abilities and traits by collecting cheese and saving mice. The abilities are separated into five trees: Spiritual Guide, Wind Master, Mechanician, Wildling, and Physicist. A Spiritual Guide advances the Shaman's ability to save lots of more mice, a Wind Master centers on the Shaman's mobility, a Mechanician gives the Shaman more options in regards to building, a Wildling enhances both objects and mice, and a Physicist advances the Shaman's power.

Trolling is considered a area of the game, as mentioned in the in-game 'Help/Rules' menu.[5] Some players infrequently decide to troll, whether playing while the Shaman or perhaps a normal mouse. Shamans can kill other mice by striking them with cannonballs and other objects, creating structures that produces lag to other players, along with blocking them from progressing in the map by developing a structure that is impossible to pass. Normal mice can troll by stalling, which can be to keep on the map for provided that possible without capturing the cheese. Normal mice could also decide to push the Shaman's buildings off the stage. In maps where there's collision detection, they can also push other mice, like the Shaman, off the stage. Trollers also can use the in-game consumables to create a shaman build go haywire or slow down mice. Common consumables used are: Beachballs, Tombstones, Pumpkin Throwables, Crumbled paper Throwables and the Snowball.
