Mice and Money: Deploy, Collect and Upgrade
Read mouse income labels, collect stored cash and approach base upgrades with the right expectations.
Turn a ripened cheese into an active mouse
Recovering and ripening cheese leads to new mice for your crew. After opening a cheese, finish the deployment interaction and check your base for the mouse. The developer currently advertises 104 mice to collect, including the legendary Muscle Mouse.
That advertised collection count does not provide a full published roster or a guaranteed route to each mouse. We have not verified a complete collection list, rarity ladder or probability table. Avoid judging an unfamiliar mouse solely from an invented tier list.
Read per-minute income, then collect stored cash
Deployed mice in the reviewed base have individual income labels. Recorded examples include SCRAP MOUSE +$63/min and MOP MOUSE +$482/min. The nearby CHEESE BIN displays stored cash and a COLLECT pad.
Use the labels to compare your current mice in the same account state, then step onto or interact with the collection area using the live prompt. Income rates in a progressed recording can reflect upgrades or other modifiers. They should not be treated as permanent base stats for every player.

Check the Mice upgrade sign before spending
The base has an UPGRADE MICE LV sign with an Upgrade action. A later recording shows a $96.0K price in that player’s state. Read the level, price and description currently displayed to you, then compare the result after one upgrade.
The visible label establishes a mouse-level upgrade. It does not establish a mouse-capacity expansion or prove an exact universal upgrade formula. Keep enough cash for the next useful step in your own loop, and use current UI information to decide between mouse progression and training equipment.
A practical comparison routine
- Collect stored cash so your available balance is clear.
- Read the income on deployed mice and note any bottleneck.
- Inspect the current mouse upgrade price and description.
- Check whether speed is limiting successful cheese returns.
- Choose one upgrade, verify its displayed result, then repeat the loop.
