You let go of your prize cheese as Cat
dives
towards you. You avoid the first attacks, dodging between Cat’s paws; you are Ninja Mouse. Suddenly you see an opening, you turn to attack, jumping at Cat’s face, little claws ready to scratch out Cat’s eyes. Then you realise you have to go past the mouth to get to the eyes. It wasn’t an opening – it was a trap! You jump straight into her mouth. Cat’s jaws close around you. Your final glance is towards the cheese, and it is the last thing you see or smell before it all goes dark.
Game over.
Game over.
