I'm gonna have to get real creative if I wanna continue the trend of my games being in alphabetical order when sorted by release date. Unfortunately, Xylophone Hero didn't make it past the prototyping stage...

Glad you liked Maze Mice enough to play it for 141 hours and leave a negative review! I'll get right on adding *checks notes* a hundred more mazes to the game so you'll leave a positive review.

A negative Steam review for Maze Mice with 141 hours played. It reads:

I love this as a base to a game. It's very satisfying with it's gameplay loops, and a PERFECT way to get a quick steamdeck sess in before before bed. However I'm going to hit dislike becuase the devs clearly did not know what they had here and in my opinion left the game unfinished despite being decently polished. I'll upvote if ANY new content comes up ever.

I would pay twice the cost of the base game for DLC if it did the following:

Balanced items, make the more niche ones far better for what they are tuned for (or rework)
Add more synergy to items
add a way to gain points to block items from coming up (maybe at the cost of wasting a level)
add some more enemy types or even just behaviors for diff colored cats/ghosts
add counters for how many times each mouse won a game
add some kind of bonus to the mice for the item they start with, and even a negative in theme
make a late-game char that also starts with nothing like the first but has a heavy handicap with a fun bonus

I could easily go on, but this is a start to actually making this a GAME. A hundred more levels, a few levels with a tunnel from top to bottom instead of just left to right, maps with no tunnels, maps with a lot of full tunnels. Traps within the maps that come up fairly against the player, so much could be added. Surely one person with the knowledge of making this game could pump out some content and make you more money.

I was looking at how different countries handle cash rounding for things like pennies not being minted anymore, and Vietnam's got us beat again.

An excerpt from Wikipedia's page on cash rounding that reads:
"United States - As of November 2025, pennies are no longer produced for circulation, but still circulate and remain legal tender. There is no federal policy on rounding, and several states and cities require exact change to be given. Businesses low on pennies may require payment in exact change, or round when pennies are unavailable, either to the nearest 5 cents or in the customer's favor. From late 2025 to January 2026, many terminals did not accept pennies, causing a nationwide shortage. As of July 2026, 20 states have enacted legislation permitting businesses to round cash transactions when pennies are unavailable; Arizona is the only state with mandatory cash rounding when pennies are unavailable."
"Vanuatu - 2011 onwards - 1 and 2 vatu coins (and other coins in the old coinage series) are still legal tender."
"Vietnam - 500 dong notes are uncommon but sometimes used. Prices are usually rounded to 1,000 dong, with small candies or pieces of chewing gum given as compensation for rounding up."
