New #RandomThingsInMouseWork this time is ‘Caged Croc’. Any guesses which job he will appear in?

This art is a little special as it was drawn by Nitrome CEO @mat_annal ’s daughter Nikita Annal at the age of 13 as part of her school work experience!

Am not sure the math we need to turn the needle 😅. 90 sounds so much better than 89.

Happy #SilkSong day everyone!

Okay the bar has been raised. So #MouseWork will now only be officially successful if it crashes the eShop on release? 💪🐭👊

Happy 40th @rare.co.uk

Our Director @mat-annal.bsky.social made this fan piece some time ago and I don’t think ever showed it…

We have been loving #DonkeyKongBananza and couldn’t resist having a play with the modelling tool. It’s a great use of mouse mode so what else would we make than…our very own #MouseWork

Sadly ‘Mouse Work’ was not invited but still very excited and curious to see what is shown at the #NintendoDirect partner showcase especially if it is mouse controlled!

What do we all think/hope will be shown?
