Omega Mouse, 2015

Omega mouse is a 6 player video game. Each player has a mouse and a pointer, but they behave in non-standard ways. While there are instructions, players tend to teach each other how to play. Players leave and enter the playspace much like asteroids, and when they do the entire plane of play shifts on the x and z axis spinning. Players that can adapt to the spinning play field the fastest have the advantage.
