Second Steam game (the first one being Flightless) |
Cheese Dreams Constellations is the direct sequel to Cheese Dreams: New Moon. It was created by TinyCastleGuy (original creator), Plasmaster, PJray, Austincarter4ever, and Winnermillion. Much like Flightless, it is a Steam game, so it is not seperated into levels. Instead, the whole game takes place inside the Cat Ship, and once a save file is loaded the player will start at the last checkpoint they touched, mimicking the style of a metroidvania game. (If the player quits and then starts the game back up, it will not take the player outside the nearest door, but the last checkpoint pole.) The player starts off with only the Moon, but can unlock the other planets as they progress through the game. Constellations are also playable, but only in special areas.
Plot[]
The game starts where Cheese Dreams left off, with the Mouse Ship being swallowed by the Cat Ship. The Cat Ship then proceeds to drink up a part of the Milky Way, as well as the entire Solar System. During this the Moon is swept away by the massive amount of milk, so the Mouse Ship swallows him as he blacks out (if the Moon can black out, that is). Then the lights turn on to reveal the Moon bouncing in a chamber, and after a cutscene, the player can control the Moon. Shortly the player/Moon will come to a somewhat-humorous cutscene, where a mouse with a mustache named Mr. Squeakstar welcomes the Moon and tells him that the Space Mice will not hurt him, and that they are on his side now. He then will lead the Moon to a corridor leading to the center of the Mouse Ship, with shops, homes of Space Mice, Mr. Squeakstar's laboratory where he will stay to contact the Moon throughout the game, and an exit out of the Mouse Ship. Mr. Squeakstar will then lead the Moon into his lab, showing that the Space Cats have captured all of the Moon's friends, as well as the constellations. He then will tell the Moon that he must find all of the Planets and defeat the evil Space Cats and their supreme ruler.
Planets[]
Each of the planets have different health, speed, bounce, size, and specials. This will determine how well they do in the game, and some Planets are useful in certain areas while others won't work in the area.
