Another critter for the arena game: the Mouse.

Mice are one of several small creatures that will roam the arenas. They don’t fight, they just exist in the space, adding a bit of life to the environment. This one burrows up from the ground, which is its appearance animation.

I’m working through a set of animations for each critter: emerging, idle, movement, and disappearance. The mouse is small enough that each animation is only a handful of frames, but getting the timing to feel right still takes iteration.

More critters to come.
