'Ratatouille', but instead of wanting to be a chef, a rodent wants to help humans with kindness through the power of electricity, baby! Cute narrative-driven 3D "platformer" that rather frustratingly takes away the ability to jump. Instead it's climbing ledges, fences and falling to one's death (though this mouse just cannot and will not die). Fortunately the traversal is quick and fluid so the lack of jumping isn't missed too much.

It lacks polish here and there - particularly the animation and textures of the mouse you control - and is relatively short to fully complete. Yet there's a sweetness to the story and charm to the "Kibblins" you assist that makes for a cutesy adventure. Plenty of collectibles, good environments, refreshing puzzles and helpful in-game upgrades that make collecting all those lightbulbs nice and relaxing.
