What it is

This is a 2D platformer where players control Mickey Mouse to rescue Minnie. The core loop involves platforming, combat, and exploration across magical worlds.

The catch

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 90% positive, but with 4,359 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
