Transformice

Transformice (sometimes abbreviated to TFM, or T4M) is an online independent multiplayer free-to-play platform gaming, produced 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 released on May 1, 2010, playable on browsers as a browser game[1] until Adobe Flash Player was discontinued on December 31, 2020. Transformice was released on Steam on January 30, 2015, as a free-to-play game.

The main objective of the game is to gather an item of cheese placed in a minumum of one location on a map. Players control a mouse with the arrow keys or the WASD keys to perform, duck, jump and perform various techniques, such as for example wall jumping, long jumping, turn arounds, and corner jumping. Players' mice must touch the cheese to collect it. After which it, the player must take the collected cheese back once 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's updated in real-time. Bonus points are awarded for players who place first, second or third. Collecting cheese is recorded into a player's permanent stats when you will find about 2 or maybe more players in the room. Players are also given extra recognition in their stats for finishing first when you will find eleven or even more players in the room. Maps have a broad time limit of two minutes, of which time a new map is loaded. Maps can instantly switch before the full 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 just two mice left on the map. Dying adds one point to a player's score on the scoreboard, no matter what amount of time in the overall game it is or the explanation for death.

Each time a player reaches the best score on the scoreboard, they'll develop into a Shaman in the next map involving one. The typical objective of the Shaman is to simply help another mice obtain the cheese and bring it back once again to the hole. Doing this will award the Shaman with "saves" for every mouse who completes the map, which are recorded onto the player's profile. The Shaman can do this by summoning objects such as for example boards, boxes, anvils, spirit, and balloons to generate buildings or contraptions such as for example bridges to cross gaps or various 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 thing 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 new player can decide to become 'hard mode' Shaman. In hard mode, a Shaman cannot use red nails which anchor an item solidly, nor can they utilize the Spirit tool, that may push mice and objects with a display of light. Spirit is the only object allowed to be cast beyond summoning range. In lieu of this, hard mode Shamans can create a pre-made 'totem', that is constructed on an in-game editor map. Totems may be constructed with up to 20 objects, but only 1 red nail can be utilized being an anchor. A completed totem construction can 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 new player will unlock the 'divine mode' Shaman setting, an environment released as an update on May 26, 2014.[3] As well as not being able to use red nails and the Spirit tool, a divine mode shaman cannot use yellow nails which connect and stabilize most objects, nor would they use a totem. Despite the constraints, divine mode Shamans have the ability 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 for their mouse in the game's item shop. Players can also buy virtual clothing items by purchasing 'fraises', an in-game currency that may be obtained by paying real money. Items are purely visual and do not give bonus stats. Players also can create their own maps via an in-game editor. Created maps must be verified by 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 cost 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 kind of fur (except plains) from the shop and completing events.

An event 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 escalates the Shaman's ability to save lots of more mice, a Wind Master focuses on the Shaman's mobility, a Mechanician provides Shaman more options in regards to building, a Wildling enhances both objects and mice, and a Physicist escalates the Shaman's power.

Trolling is considered a the main game, as previously mentioned in the in-game 'Help/Rules' menu.[5] Some players infrequently choose to troll, whether playing whilst the Shaman or perhaps a normal mouse. Shamans can kill other mice by striking them with cannonballs and other objects, creating structures that creates lag to other players, along with blocking them from progressing in the map by creating a structure that's impossible to pass. Normal mice can troll by stalling, that is to stay on the map for provided that possible without capturing the cheese. Normal mice might also decide to push the Shaman's buildings off the stage. In maps where there's collision detection, they could also push other mice, including 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.
