Transformice is an indie multiplayer platformer developed by Mélanie Christin and Jean-Baptiste Le Marchand.

Gameplay

The gameplay revolves around guiding the player controlled mouse around several obstacles, getting the cheese, and going back to the hole. If the player gets the cheese first, it will be noted in their profile under a special tab.

A shaman mouse accompanies the players on every level. It can create physical objects to help the players get to the cheese. A player with the highest score is chosen a shaman.

Map editor

On August, 22nd 2010 a map editor was released. Any registered member can create their own maps and publish it for 40 in-game cheese pieces (it used to be 20). It is also required for the players to have 1000 pieces gathered on their account. During a game, each third map is community-made. After the time expires, a voting window appears, where the players can share their opinion on the map. If the map's rating gets lower than 50%, it gets removed from the game.

Map categories were later added to the game.

Emotes

The players can use nine animated emotes: dance, laugh, cry, kiss, anger, applause, sleep, facepalm, and sit. These animations do not require the participation of another user.

Apart from that, there are four two-player emotes: high five, hug, kiss, or "rock, paper, scissors!"
