To pass the level you need to build the correct sequence of transitions on the platforms. A wrong step can lead to your downfall, followed by a restart of the level. After collecting all 3 pieces of cheese on the level opens the door, passing through which you get to the next level. And remember - free cheese is only in a mousetrap.

Reviews indicate that the game's stability is currently hindered by glitches and a lack of sound effects, which detracts from the overall experience. Improvements in these areas, along with an increase in level count, could enhance its playability.
“If the level count was tripled or quadrupled, the glitches and achievements were fixed, and some much-needed sound effects and tunes were added, this could be a tolerable game.”
“The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable at times.”
“I experienced constant lag and frame drops, which ruined the overall experience.”
