"It's On The Mouse" v0.9
🕑 Added 2024-06-15 20:48:30 +0000 UTC"It's On The Mouse" is now at version 0.9.
The new Early access build for Smart Tier Patrons can be found here.
The new Super Early access build for Kind and Strong Patrons can be found here.
The game is now very close to completion and I can't thank everyone enough for your support!
All that is left to do now is 'only' the gran finale of the story and add a few extra and some clean up. It won't take a short time, but I'm hopeful everything should be ready to release before the end of the year.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before getting into this update however, an important notice, especially for Patrons.
I'm currently planning to focus on finishing the game and have the next big update be around Q4 when I hope the full release will be ready, so updates may get very scarce until then (I'll still be available on Discord and DMs for any inquiry and update about the game current and future state and will provide some minor updated on the server).
On top of that, I need to make clear it's my intention to release the finished game as a paid title and not publicly for free as my previous projects. This means I'll have to find a different way to provide to patrons access to the final release.
I'll post more details when ready, but just know I'm planning to provide a way to access the finished game for free to any patron, currently active or not, that between May 2023 (month "It's On The Mouse" started development) and the release date have paid to support development at least as much as the game's price.
And since I'm not planning to sell the game for a huge price, most patreon that are or were active in the development timeframe are already eligible to be honest.
I'm a bit scared as creator to share this as you may find reason to pull your support and just wait for the final release, but I wish to be as transparent as possible and not have anyone regret supporting the game. If you'll wish to support till the end though I'll be very grateful as I need all help to proper finish this game the best way possible.

Here the updates notes for v0.9!
New Stages:
Four new stages have been added to the game!
This stages start the final arc of the story, introducing both some new characters and some of the hardest challenges Holly and her little maid friends ever had to deal with.
Available In All Tiers
• Stage 15 - 'Her Smallness' (previously available only for Kind/Strong Tier)
• Stage 16 - 'The chaos after the storm'
Available In The Kind/Strong Tier
• Stage 17 - 'Little Tiny Customers'
• Stage 18 - 'Trust and Delusions'
• Stage 19 - 'Total catastrophe'
New Bonus Area
A new bonus area has been added to the game.
I was actually not very happy with the quality of the unlockable minigames so far, so this is my second attempt at making some good unlockable content for the game.
This area is unlocked after collecting 5 gold ranks in the story and acts as a special menu to access a new Gallery mode and a new minigame with different modes unlockable as you obtain gold ranks along the story.
All the unlockable content I made so far will be available for all tiers (though you'll need to properly unlock through gold ranks, sorry~).
While this will replace fully the previous minigames in the final release, for the time being I decided to keep the minigames available as to not remove content during development.
Other Updates:
• More voice over has been added to the game: Holly and Bonny (all stages and appearances), Duni (End Stage 12, Stage 13, Stage 14).
• The Cafè is now cuter than ever with new decorations giving the walls the final touch they so desperately needed.
• As usual, multiple bug fixes and QOL improvement have been done.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And this is version 0.9
Thanks again for all your support so far, this little cute project really grown bigger than I originally planned when I started it an year ago, but we're finally in the final stretch of development.
As mentioned, if all goes right the game will release by the end of the year, so I hope you'll be excited as me for Holly's little debut!

It's so great to see this game to continue! I've enjoyed them a lot and this new update looks incredible! I'm gonna support your work till the end. I'm like Pantuflin, I love your games since "The legend of Rymas" and I'd love to see "Crystal Wish" to be finished in future. I'm really happy to see "Its on the Mouse" one last update before it's completion! Thank you for your hard work! I'm really grateful! :)

Im happy to continue supporting the project until the end. Personally, I follow your content since "The legend of Rymas" and I really like the evolution in quality of your projects. "Its on the Mouse" I think it has been one of the most fun games among your games and many times I replay a level just for fun, also the characters are adorable. I will continue to support "Crystal Wish" and the little mini-games you release time to time.
