The Game

Long Wave Home is a metroidvania-lite, where you're Squeaks, a cute little mouse who wants to repair an old radio for the owner of the home. She'll have to avoid dust bunnies, silverfish, maybe even the owner's cat as she attempts to get the radio making music again.

Made for Ludum Dare 60. Theme: "Old Tech". 

For the theme, "Old Tech" I used it in two ways, Squeaks repairing an old radio, and a few easter eggs to my old games. For the old radio... I am not a radio repair technician, so... I assume they had vacuum tubes, knobs, and definitely little platforms a mouse could use to walk around in.
