Become Pro on Transformice

If you're new to Transformice, you might be wondering how does everyone around you climb the walls, what does it mean to be a shaman and how to actually be a good shaman yourself. It can be helpful to read about all of this at the start, so that you can feel empowered to play the game in an informed way. Get help with the things you need to know by going through these suggestions.

Steps

Wall-Jumping

  1. Start off by wall-jumping on chocolate grounds. Wall jumping on chocolate is the best way to practice your wall-jumping if you are new to the game. By default, it has friction, which means that your mouse will not slide back down while wall-jumping.
    • The red coloured ground is lava, if you touch it you get thrown in the air with lots of force and speed. It can make your mouse die, but you can stop that by pressing and holding the up key while crossing it.
    • The purple ground is a trampoline. It's possible to wall-jump it. Instead of jumping away from the wall, just jump, then run towards the wall, then when you bounce away from it, jump again. You will not need to pull away from it because it will bounce you back by itself. Trampoline does not work as well if it is touching wood, though. It's not likely you'll need this, unless you're playing bootcamp.
    • The light blue ground is ice, which can't be wall jumped unless it is at a slant. Although, you can corner-jump it more easily than any other ground. If you don't get it the first time, keep trying!
    • The brown ground is earth. It's pretty much the same as wood. It's usually pretty easy to wall jump on it.
  1. To wall-jump, simply fall towards the wall, then once you're touching the wall, jump away from it and jump. Then you should be able to run towards it again to reset your jump. Remember, you have to fall into the wall.
  2. To practice wall-jumping, corner-jumping, or whatever you want to practice, go to a private room. Do this by typing /room vanilla *your username here*.

Shamming

  1. Get to know what does it mean to be a shaman. Getting mice to the hole is the crucial part of being a shaman. It can get you saves which will get you to hard and divine mode.
  2. When you're shaman, get items on the bottom right corner, or by pressing the number keys. Press space to make an invisible item that mice can't touch.
  3. When someone can't get up to the cheese even if you've built a ramp, click the balloon or press 3, then press C. Hover the little circle over their mouse then click and hold. Only do this if other mice have been able to get the cheese, or people will get annoyed with you.
  4. Use the items you have to make bridges, ramps, lifts, anvil gods, etc.
  5. Make these aforementioned items as follows:
    • To make a bridge, or a ramp to get to the cheese, you need to know how to make anchors, what they do, and how to use them.
    • To make a stable start to a bridge, or a stabilizer for a wobbly build, get a plank from the items list, then press B.
    • To make a stabilizer for a plank that's moving when it's not supposed to, simply click and hold the anchor against the plank.
    • To make a stable start for a ramp/bridge, always summon it against the ground so it's touching the ground on both sides of the, because B planks rotate around the B anchor. Next, get another plank from the items list, then press C twice. Use your scroll wheel to rotate it. There's also other planks like V, N, and J.
  6. Practice a lot. The main thing to remember with shamanic is practice. Remember, /room vanilla *your username here*.

Becoming a Good Shaman

  1. When you are sham, you have skills that can help you. Skill points are earned when you level up and you can buy skills with them. You can access your skills by pressing the house under your profile picture and finding the skills button.
  2. When you have bought 5 skills on the first level, or any level, then you progress to the next level.
  3. Buy skills you want, or like to use.
    • By the way, if you have "Big Spirit" in the 'Mechanic' section, you can spawn things super fast.
  4. On Transformice, if you rescue 1000 mice you can be a hard mode sham. If you're a hard mode sham, red nail for the plank (B button on keyboard) is gone, and Sp (spirit; the spark that makes you go up) is gone. Instead, there is totem feather. A totem is something you can spawn that doesn't have to be assembled; to make your totem click the feather in hard mode that says "Edit Totem".
  5. You become sham when your name reaches the top of the list. When you become sham, don't sit there, help the mice get the cheese.
    • Remember, you can always learn the basics in you are new by clicking 'Help'.
    • Leave no mouse behind, and only kill mice if you are in survivor (where mice are killed by sham and have to survive).
    • You can only enter the hole when all the mice have been saved.
    • Don't get angry with the mice; don't kill them.
  6. If you are in survivor mode, you have no choice but to kill all the mice. However, you can save your friends. For example: attaching a balloon by pressing the B key and attaching the balloon string to the mouse intended.

Tips

  • Read the forum, and also the tutorial. (Click the "help" button beside the menu button). It helps a lot.
  • Read the Transformice Wiki! It's got a lot of helpful information and tutorials.
  • If you see people hacking, report them by typing /report *username*
  • Your firsts won't count if there are less than 11 mice.
  • Don't hesitate to ask for help, and accept other mice wisdom.
  • The most important thing to do on your journey to professionalism , is watch other mice who know what they're doing. See what works, and what doesn't.
  • Always stay in Vanilla rooms. There's only about 150 maps, (as opposed to 43k + user made maps) so it's super easy to learn. They are easy maps too.
  • To lock a room so friend's friends' don't follow, you can lock a room as long as the room has your name at the end of it (Example: /room Vanilla Syndonline), with the command /pw (password here). The next time someone tries to join, they'll be asked for the password you entered. (CASE SENSITIVE!)
  • Avoid wall jumping on ice as you're unable to.
  • Avoid going in water with cheese. You can't make it to the other end back.
