Gameplay

Players take on the role of a mouse, exploring the sewers for food and collecting monsters called Morsels. Morsels have unique abilities, encouraging the player to switch between them during combat strategically.[6] Combat features fast-paced shooting mechanics and is played from a top-down perspective. The game is described as having "roguelite action", where each run can be unique.[7] Between levels, the player will encounter characters that offer items, rewards, or minigames. Occasionally, these characters may take something away from the player.[8]

The player can wield three Morsel cards at a time. Each Morsel has its own attack, dodge, and special ability.[9]

Morsels received mixed or average reviews upon release, according to Metacritic.[10] GamesRadar+ awarded the game 3.5/5 stars, complimenting the game's art design and visuals while criticizing the upgrades and "death loop".[11] In a more positive review, Gameliner awarded the title a 4/5, praising the rougelite loop, soundtrack, and minigames.[12]
