Pete asks Rickey, "Do you eat cheese because you are a mouse? Or are you a mouse because you eat cheese?"
Rickey replies, "Stand proud, but nah I'd win."

Little did Rickey know, Pete had cheese-powered artillery to defend the cheesy moon.

Play as Pete the cat, defending the precious cheese on a cheesy moon from Rickey R. Rouse who wishes to eat all your resources.
