The game uses a side-view platform format. You guide Jerry through connected rooms and floors of a house, using jumps, climbs, and careful movement to avoid enemies and traps. Progress often depends on finding the correct route, activating switches, or collecting useful items before moving on. Jerry is not built for direct combat, so timing, spacing, and route planning matter more than aggression. The goal is to reach the attic and rescue Tuffy after navigating the entire house.
Jerry
The playable mouse protagonist who must reach the attic and rescue Tuffy.
Tom
The main pursuer and recurring threat throughout the house.
Tuffy
The mouse child trapped in the attic and the mission objective.
Learn the room layout first, since many hazards are easier to handle once you know where exits and vertical routes are located. Do not rush Tom; use platforms and tight passages to create distance. When you find interactable objects, test them carefully because some progression points depend on switches or item use. If an area feels crowded, clear the smaller threats before committing to the next jump or climb.
Tips and tricks
Use high jumps to clear enemies instead of stopping on the ground.
Tips and tricks
Memorize the house layout so you can backtrack efficiently when needed.
Tips and tricks
