    I was playing some customs the other day, Tremor Cliffs to be exact.. And I thought.. The funnest thing about Tremors is being the Tremor and splattering people. Then I realised that the most exciting part of Cat N' Mouse is being the mice and running away.

    So... Why not combine the best of both worlds?

    Tremor N' Mouse uses the infection gametype to bring a fresh and exciting twist on two classic mini games.


    ___________________________________________________

    How the game works

    Its Tremor vs. Mice.
    At the start of the game the mice are free to frolic in the rolling meadows of their cage..

    Until 20 seconds into the round, a grav lift spawns. Allowing the infected player access to the Chopper.

    So at about 30 seconds in, the Tremor is in the mouse cage. His ROFL Chopper goes OM NOM NOM NOM.

    The Tremor boosts into the panicking mice, exploding them in a shower of blood and fire.
    Mice only have one life per round, they ain't no cats yo.

    More and more mice fall victim to the Tremor's powerfull OM NOM NOMs. The Tremor gains one point from each mouse he/she eats.
    Untill only one is left..
    The Last Mouse Standing gains 5 points for his efforts, but death is inevitable.



    ______________________________________

    Quick info


    • Tremor gains one point per Mouse kill
    • Last mouse standing earns 5 points
    • Five rounds total
    • Five Minute Round time limit
    • One life per round for the mice.
    I gave the mice a 10m motion tracker, allowing them to glimpse a gigantic red blip in the lower left hand corner of their eyes and yelping OH SHI- before getting slammed.

    The Tremor too, has a 10m Motion tracker, he/she can feel the vibrations of the mice as they scurry around in fear.

    Tips
    Tremor should not try and follow the mice around, but instead attempt to predict their route choice and cut them off with a boost mega OM NOM to the face.

    Mice need to stay moving as much as possible, these Tremors are smart y'all. If the mice fall over or spin out, they're pretty much done for.

    Honour Rules
    Ofcourse.. there are some little rules...

    • Hijacking of the Tremor is prohibited and will result in the offending mouse being booted from the game. Mice and Graboids are two different species. They can't produce viable offspring.
    • Mice must stay in their vehicles at all times. Mice can't walk on two legs! That's crazy talk.
    • The Tremor is not allowed to shoot at the Mice, that's unfair. Don't play with your food ya know?

    Huge thanks to everyone that helped with testing and gave me ideas. You know who you are.

    Especially Smeagle, he helped with a some geo merging and is doing the video. o/

    I have seen these types of maps before, but none like this. This is probubly the best one I have seen. What I really like is inmovable objects in the middle. I dont remember the v1/2/3 but looking at v4 it must have been great. In my opinioin, this should be on one of the mini game pack packz that gets featured. That is great!

    it sounds real fun but im just wondering if it would get to hard for the tremor after a while. i mean i remember it being hard for the zombie in bull fight after most of the humans died, with all the humans jumping around. and now the humans have mongooses to go even faster. im gonna have to download and try it out bc i hope i am wrong about that.

    The tremor is not allowed to shoot the mice, although it won't kill them or damage them, it would knock them over making them easier to kill.

    It works out pretty evenly, rounds usually last 1-3 minutes.
    Don't worry dude, I play tested this map many times and made alot of changes to get it all working smoothly.

    Remarkable, better than the bullpen. The mongooses add infinite possibilities.

    For a new take on an old classic:

    5/5 Hours of fun.

    wow i really like this map it looks very well thought out the ramps and mancannons make it look even more epic. I have one question though. If the guy in the chopper shoots to kill does he get a point or does it just go by honor rules either way this game and map seem really fun im gonna dl this.

    The chopper driver does 0 damage. So when he shoots it does nothing. However he can still splatter people.

    This map is so fun if you don't have enough people to play a full game of cat n Mouse this is the perfect substitute! I give this map a 8/10 because the map is not that difficult to forge but has some very nice interlocking and two-merging in it. Good work ten master!

    this seems like a pretty cool minigame. I'm sad to say that I missed out on the testing, it looks like it was a lot of fun. I'm sure I'll be playing it with you soon, as long as you don't lag out on me. ;-)

    It's called booting. But yea, most people don't take the chopper because they arn't annoying little kids.

    This is a really epic mini-game. I love that you did this mastar. It was great fun testing it, and great fun playing it. Can't wait to play this is a TGIF. :D

    (Also, I got a triple kill with my awesome OM NOM NOM NOM skillz)

    If you don't download this then you're missing out. This is a load of fun for anyone. This, Pennyless, and some other mini-game (maybe Sat. Mice v4) should be featured as a mini-game map-pack.

    Haha nawh that's not you. I think it could be one of the Vorpals haha.

    Thanks mate, happy you like it. I'm just glad and hope that everyone can enjoy this game/map.


    Much more Map Downlaods than Gametype Downloads is a little... Strange..

    Remember to download the Gametype you guys.

    I don't really see how this is Tremors and Cat n' mouse in one. There's no flag so it can't be tremors. It just seems like Cat n' Mouse with a Chopper instead of a Wraith. Besides thats how me and my friends play Cat n' Mouse, with choppers. I think it plays better with choppers than wraiths but that may just be me.

    Anyway I'll que up the map and try it out sometime, I don't know when. But I'll be sure to let you know how much iI like it. It looks like it'd be fun from the pictures.
