New Fearsome Mice Have Been Sighted!

14 January 2013

New Fearsome Mice Have Been Sighted!

Fear and awe have spread through mice and hunters alike in recent days, as rumours of terrifying new mice have quickly spread.

In the Twisted Garden, a super-charged mouse lurks in the depths, shocking (both literally and figuratively) anyone that comes near!

In the Cursed City, an ancient and evil magical mouse is inventing new and dangerous curses to cast over the whole of Gnawnia!

And in the Sand Crypts, a hyper-evolved mouse has reared his exceptionally ugly head and is devouring all he sees!

All-new recipes!

In order to face these new mice, you'll need the power of the all-new Shattering Charm, which can only be crafted by utilizing the power of an Icuri Essence.

The mysterious Rift Base harnesses the very power of the rift between our world and the next, and will be immensely useful in coming battles. But how to craft it? Only patient and powerful hunters will ever know.

If there was ever a mouse that proved a little too tough, or thought he was a little too much for you, the Ultimate Charm will prove them wrong. What does it do? It catches mice. Period. Regardless of any other factors, this charm will catch the very next mouse that wanders too close. Then, if it wasn't jostled too hard in the process, maybe it stays around for another try. Try to see how many mice yours lasts for!

Finally, to prove your dominion over the Living Garden, there's the all-new Living Garden theme. Anyone viewing your journal when you have this theme active will definitely know that you are the true master of the Living Garden!

Bonus Luck Weekend!

It looks like a light smattering of lucky fairy dust has settled over Gnawnia. Or perhaps the Digby scientists have been up to more of their irresponsible experiments? Maybe everyone's just on an incredible streak. Whatever it is, every trap is lucky this weekend, and everyone gets a +5 luck bonus on every hunt!

Take advantage of all that extra luck and hunt down some of the tougher mice this weekend!

Lucky Mouse

This little guy has collected a pile of "Lucky" trinkets: a funky lucky sock that he'll never remove because he claims it once messed up a Monstrobot's sensors, lucky beads that managed to jam a trap's trigger mechanism without him even noticing, and his lucky belt that has... been a good conversation starter at least.

But also in his possession is a collection of actual Luck Charms, Super Luck Charms, and even Ultimate Luck Charms! Seek him out and catch him in your trap to claim your lucky prize!

Lucky Hunting Kit

Looking for even more luck? This kit comes jam-packed with it! 200 SUPER|brie+, 100 Luck Charms, an incredible 30 Super Luck Charms, and a 1 month Lucky Golden Shield will boost your luck to incredible levels.

Get One Now!

The Great Winter... Shopping Spree?

10 December 2012

The Great Winter... Shopping Spree?

Long ago, a little mouse called Albert had his heart broken repeatedly by Santa when he asked and asked for presents every year, but never received them. This continued year after year until finally he decided he'd had enough, and would get his own presents from then on!

We didn't hear much from him after that until this year, when — immediately after the Festive Comet landed — a collection of construction vehicles with "Greedy Al" emblazoned on the side showed up, plowed the Festive Comet flat, and built a huge big-box store right on top of it! Then they left, but only after having distributed the following flyer to everyone around:

Flyer

Hysteria! Chaos! Confusion!

Everything is ruined! Or is it? Perhaps if we can restore Greedy Al's faith in the spirit of the season — the spirit of giving — we can prevent everyone from devolving into selfish curmudgeons and save everything!

Hunters have been reporting sightings of a confused-looking mouse with a mailbag, handing out old letters of Al's. Each has a clue to an old toy that he wanted and didn't get. If we can just re-create that toy — or a reasonable version of it — and give it to him, perhaps we can warm his heart enough to get him to see joy again!

Hunt ANYWHERE in MouseHunt the land for the Confused Courier, read the letter, and head to the MegaBuy Mart!

How Can I Help?

Start out by hunting all over for that Confused Courier! When you find him, he'll drop a letter that explains the plight that has befallen Al, and you'll be allowed into the MegaBuy Mart. Once you're inside, hunt mice and collect the Festive Feta they'll drop. You're going to need a lot! Try using SUPER|brie+, which will attract the Snowflake mouse, who drops extra Festive Feta.

Hunt with Festive Feta in the MegaBuy Mart to attract the Confused Courier again, only this time he'll drop a letter with the details of a toy from Greedy Al's youth that you'll need to build. Keep using Festive Feta to catch a new mouse that drops the parts for this first toy.

You only have a few days to collect all the parts you need before a new mouse appears and the old one gets rarer, so hurry up!

To speed things up, consider hunting with Winter Charms, which you can purchase from the shop with two Festive Feta. These will attract Snowflake mice, who drop Ice Coins, and will help you attract mice who drop toy parts from previous days in case you fall behind while building toys.

Depending on the toy being built, you will also attract the Winter Past/Present/Future, Scrooge, Mad Elf, and Squeaker Claws mice from Great Winter Hunts passed who will help you build the different toys on different days.

When you have all the toys completed, you can use the toys you created plus the Ice Coins the mice have been dropping to buy the Wrapped Gift Trap, which you can use to give Greedy Al his presents! Your reward will be an exceedingly special trap, unique from all other traps in the game!

Wait, Did You Say Ice Coins?

When you're done collecting toy parts, you can still collect Ice Coins. You're going to need a lot for the final trap, but there's also a new Winter Theme, and all kinds of crates and goodies you can exchange them for!

You can also get Ice Coins by equipping Winter Charms and catching Snowflake mice! Why wait until you're done all the toy-building? Get those special festive rewards now!

Kits and Baskets

This handy kit is fully stocked with everything needed for the Great Winter Hunt!

Inside you'll find 100 Festive Feta and 50 Winter Charms. Provides the Lucky Golden Shield for 1 month from date of opening.

A soft velvet hat may not be the best choice for storing briny cheese, but when it comes to holiday gifts, it's really just the thought that counts.
