Game scene

map

based on office floor

• floor
• walls
• obscructions (tables, boxes) tile based system would make it easiest for path finding algorithms and general sizing

• mini map: walls and mice
• score

scoring

• hit on mouse
• item pick ups

items

• cold brew: speed up player (also speed up mice?)
• snacks: pure points or also health boost (potentially also boosts mice size)
  • cake: full health
• ammo (do we have ammo?)

Possible mice scurry logic:

• random / weighted random
• path finding to items
• path finding to player

Possible difficulty escalation over time:

• mice spawn increase
• mice speed increase
• mice target player more aggressively
• less ammo drops
