The
central character in this game is a mouse called Cheesy who appears at regular
intervals on a satellite children's TV show. The game features a number of
viewpoints that include 2D parallax, isometric 3D, top down 3D and a 1st person
perspective playing angle.
Cheesy is trapped inside Dr Chem's castle
where he must walk the treadmill to provide power for the mad scientists
experiments. Somewhat cheesed off with this way of life, he must escape from
the castle by seeking out magical items that will teleport him to the safety of
the outside world.
Each level is accessed from a central chamber that
has various doors and openings that lead to different sections of the castle.
The chimney will lead to the roof while the drains will take cheesy into the
piranha infested sewers.
Health power ups appear in the form of a slice
of cheese while a number of weapons appear as you progress through the levels.
The
gameplay involves an element of puzzle solving, timed jumps over flaming pits,
bouncing off enemies to land on previously unreachable platforms and a fair bit
of gun-totting.
