''Transformice'' is an online game developed by French indie developer Atelier 801. Players play as a mouse, with the main objective being to bring the cheese back into the hole, though in most maps in certain modes, a special type of mouse called a "shaman" is chosen based on whoever has the highest score, serving as a guide to help their followers to collect cheese. Prior to Transformice's release, there were two games with a similar concept, one of them being '''''Poisson''''' (lit. Fish).


Since its inception, the ''Fire Emblem'' franchise has received a number of manga adaptations, most of which have been 4Komas. The first series of 4Komas was released between 1994 and 1997, with the first four covering the Archanea Saga, and the last two covering the fourth game, ''Genealogy of the Holy War''. The franchise would continue to receive manga adaptations, until 2005, when ''Fire Emblem: Champion's Sword'' ended its run. However, it started receiving manga adaptations again in 2012, with the release of a short manga adaptation of the then-newly released ''Fire Emblem Awakening''. Meanwhile, production of the 4Koma manga came into an abrupt halt until 2015, when ''Fire Emblem Awakening 4Koma KINGS'' was released. The majority of the 4Koma anthologies are known to have a sillier and light-hearted tone than the usual dark tone seen throughout most of the ''Fire Emblem'' games.
''Poisson'' had gameplay similar to ''Transformice'', moreso than ''Aaaah!'', another game sharing the same concept. However, it seems to have a couple of differences; notably the playable characters being fish, the main goal of the game being to enter the fishbowl before dying, the existence of an upwards cannonball, which existed in early builds of ''Transformice'', the players always starting on the bottom-left corner, the limited amount of anchors available, and the guide player being able to stop time. ''Poisson'' shut down a few months later, though when exactly is unknown.

According to Tigrounette in the now-defunct Extinction site, Atelier 801 doesn't seem to have the source code anymore, rendering the chances of ''Poisson'' resurfacing to be very slim.

Transformice is an online game developed by French indie developer Atelier 801. Players play as a mouse, with the main objective being to bring the cheese back into the hole, though in most maps in certain modes, a special type of mouse called a "shaman" is chosen based on whoever has the highest score, serving as a guide to help their followers to collect cheese. Prior to Transformice's release, there were two games with a similar concept, one of them being Poisson (lit. Fish).

Poisson had gameplay similar to Transformice, moreso than Aaaah!, another game sharing the same concept. However, it seems to have a couple of differences; notably the playable characters being fish, the main goal of the game being to enter the fishbowl before dying, the existence of an upwards cannonball, which existed in early builds of Transformice, the players always starting on the bottom-left corner, the limited amount of anchors available, and the guide player being able to stop time. Poisson shut down a few months later, though when exactly is unknown.

While Transformice and its earliest predecessor Aaaah! continue to exist as downloadable games following Adobe Flash's demise in December 31st, 2020, Poisson remains completely lost, with screenshots, gameplay footage, and very few assets from the game itself the only remaining evidence of its existence. According to Tigrounette in the now-defunct Extinction site, Atelier 801 doesn't seem to have the source code anymore, rendering the chances of Poisson resurfacing to be very slim.
