Pros:
+ Affordable price
+ Good puzzle + indie & casual game
+ Colorful

+ Graphics are good for the game & so is the soundtrack

Cons:
- No achievements
- As mentioned, graphics are good but could have been better

This is a game for lovers of mazes, block-pushing and item manipulation. It is a puzzle game based on the old BBC & Amiga XOR maze challenge for anyone who may remember it from years ago. For those who don't remember XOR think Repton, Boulderdash, Chips Challenge but with emphasis on forward planning to solve the puzzles.

The graphics are really nice and well animated and the levels are challenging once you have completed the tutorial and maze sections.

There is no level editor sadly (but maybe the Developer will add one?) which is a shame as there is so much potential here!

All in all a very good puzzle game with retro styled mechanics which provide a good challenge.

This looks like a fun puzzle game. Sadly, most of the work on this game went into making pretty clay shapes.

The game is really boring (pun not intended). Even with the difficulty ramped up to "genius" (yes, I tried the non-maze levels which were supposed to be harder) it isn't a challenge. Levels are randomized rather than fixed, so it's a stretch to call these puzzles. The first and second sets of maze levels take forever to complete, and it doesn't correctly award you a star once you do, so there isn't any way to open any of the maze levels past the first two sets. And to get all the points for each maze, you have to beat it at least twice! If you beat it four times, you don't even need to collect cheese to get all the stars. Just find the exit four times and you've hit top score.

In essense, the creator took something that looks vaguely like a puzzle game and instead of writing actual puzzles, greated a random generator to do it. They didn't even take the time to generate the puzzles and playtest them individually to see which ones worked. They just generate the puzzles on the fly, which most of the time are solvable (sometimes in multiple ways, and on occasion not at all), and the only "puzzle" part is jumping through hoops to reach the end. Despite a number of game elements that look interesting and do novel things, there isn't any challenge to using them and most of the game elements don't interact with most of the other game elements.

I'm sad that I wasted five bucks on this. If you enjoy puzzles this is not the game for you. I'm not sure who this game is for, to be honest. Maybe young children? I'm not even certain they'd enjoy it.

i love the graphics style ,"claymation type" which we don't get enough of sadly.
i love the little pink mouse ,very cute .


my first few minutes of gameplay is running around various numbered mazes gobbling cheese and collecting keys to unlock gates.


Depending how well you do it means you get more stars for completing each level.
As far as i can tell you can go back and redo a level to try and get a better score or to clear a maze.

looks like this game is a lot of fun ,a puzzle maze game with an original style.

The game also has a useful 'control.txt' file in the game folder which shows you all the info on what controls to use on the keyboard (you can use gamepad too if u want but i haven't tested it) ,
Mouse can be used as well

You can find it by going to 'Steam\steamapps\common\Genius Greedy Mouse'

There is also a windowed mode shortcut in the game folder but it doesn't point to your game .exe so won't work.

It's simple to make your own by adding ' -window' to the game .exe
eg::
"C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Genius Greedy Mouse\greedymouse.exe" -window

note:
If u click on the game screen and then click the icon that comes up on the bottom left you can see the whole maze.
Also if u click and hold you can drag the screen around ,it's works in the options screen too.

This Game is actually worth a try.
It looks shaby and looks like it will bore you. But don't get fooled by that.
It's a nice Indie Puzzle Game! Just try it out for yourself!

+ it got Cards :-)


*RECOMMENDED*

Cons: This game became more boring and tedious the longer I played it. Puzzles are easy and mindless. (with a few exceptions) Nothing is really explained to you when you first start the game. You immediatley jump right into the game. This would've been fine, but the hub is such an unorganized mess and is can be really confusing to navigate. The game would've worked a lot better if it just had a normal level select. It also would've been nice to know how to get four stars on a stage. I would sometimes get all the cheese on a stage and get only 2 stars. The "music" (Music being only one song) has a mind of it's own and plays whenever it feels like.

Pros: The art style is cute, but the game constantly reuses the same background and assets, making it a bore to look at. Could've done with a variety of background designs to change things up. When the puzzles do become challenging (which is not often) its lets the player experiment with the puzzle and gives them time to think. There is no rush to finish a puzzle, except for certian levels that contain rising water, which are easly the worst levels in the game. The controls are fine and work well. The mechanics the game introduces every now and then, like missles or wierd pacman creatures, are interesting but get boring once they appear in every level.

Conclusion: If you are a 10 year old child and haven't played a puzzle game in your life, I would reccommend this to you because of it's easy difficulty and simple mechanics. I would also reccommend this to anyone who wants to sit down and relax and play a simple game for an hour or so. I would not reccommend this to anyone looking for a puzzle game that requires the use of brain cells. It is too easy and doesn't offer enough challenge to keep players interested. Not a terrible game by any means, but I would never return to it again.

Controller friendly game..good thing my daughter bought me one recently. At first I thought it was keyboard but i couldn't get the mouse to move til i used the controller. It starts rough at first probably cause my PC is ♥♥♥♥..but i adjusted the game some and it worked like a charm. Anyways you move dirt through a maze to get cheese..I jumped a foot when i hit a mouse trap..wasn't ready for it lol. Anyways..it's a good game.

I enjoyed this game very much. It's something that I could pick up and play for a minute or two and not have to get super involved in puzzle solving. Sadly, I ran into a bad level where it was impossible to create the block bridge in order to escape/finish the level.

I recommend this game if it's on sale because it is fun to play, as long as you don't get stuck in a glitch or bad design.

Genius Greedy Mouse is a very well designed strategic puzzle game which requires the player to think and plan their moves in advance in order to complete the puzzle.

You push blocks into their respective positions to allow movements of other strategic blocks to gain access to areas where you can collect all the cheese.

The game's art is very interesting as the sprites all seem to be all made of Playdough which makes it look very fun. However, the game doesnt seem to include a BGM during the actual gameplay (only BGM is on the welcome screen) which hopefully can be added in future updates.

9/10
