Play as Mappy, a police officer mouse tasked with collecting stolen items in a mansion. You can move between the platforms by using a trampoline to jump to the various levels. Locked doors and other barriers will make it harder to traverse while running into an enemy on one of the levels will cause you to die.

7 Mappy may not have the complexity of modern games but the simple gameplay loop that it offers is addictive enough to keep me coming back.
