Synopsis

Cheesy is a 1996 platform game developed by British studio CTA Developments and published by Ocean Software in Europe and by Jaleco in Japan for the PlayStation. The game follows an anthropomorphic mouse of the same name, who's captured by Doctor Chem, a mad scientist who wants to experiment on him, at Rock Castle. After being unintentionally freed from his cage by aliens and a UFO, the rodent sets out to escape. The game's goal is to collect ingredients for a teleportation spell to escape the castle, by navigating it, battling against monsters and all sorts of creatures that will come in his way. Initially, Cheesy was developed for the Atari Jaguar, as one of the system's upcoming titles. The project was moved to the PlayStation, due to several factors relating to the difficulty of developing on Atari's console and its failure both commercially and critically, along with a false advertisement of being a powerful 64-bit console. The game received negative reviews from critics, cited for its poor controls, graphics, and inconsistent game design, but the music was praised.
