Peanut, the cute little gray mouse, has found herself trapped in a dangerous laboratory. She needs your help! Save her by helping her escape the lab. Be careful when you journey through the lab because it is filled with a lot of crazy and dangerous machinery. In order to free Peanut from this insane laboratory, you have to guide her out of it. Click and drag the cheese and use this to guide Peanut. As you move, do not let Peanut touch the walls or any of the lab equipment because this will hurt her and decrease her life. Pick up extra food and other bonuses scattered throughout the lab for extra points. You have to get through all 27 levels to be able to free Peanut. Each level has its own difficulty and the level gets harder as you move on to the following levels. For every level, there is a time limit. Therefore, you have to successfully accomplish that level before the time runs out. The game ends when time has run out or if Peanut runs out of life. On the right side of the screen, there is a green panel. This panel contains several information and icons which will be of use to you. You will be able to see your score there, the level number that you are playing, Peanut’s life meter, and the timer. There are 4 icons on the lower part of the panel: the pause button, main menu button, sound effects button, and the music button. Warning: This game has cute graphics, especially the main menu, but beware because Maus Trap also has its share of gore throughout the game.
