| Dramaformice | Playing Alongside Hackers is the New Normal for Transformice Players

Hello mice gamers. This is Dramaformice, the only credible news organization in Transformice.

August 18 (Dramaformice) - Hacks granting players extraordinary in-game abilities have become so common in Transformice that playing alongside cheaters has become the new normal.

While the Transformice community is still recovering from a six-day attack on the game's servers, players are now logging into a game full of hackers.

Yesterday, a player named Pops#7221, despite not being a shaman, was able to freely summon portals on each map, teleporting mice directly from the cheese to holes.

Pops#7221, who remained unbanned for hours, remarked, "i hope ur enjoying this btw. if not just tell me. ill go."

Unlike with many cheaters in the past, however, players largely responded positively to Pops#7221. During the player's hours-long presence in the game, one player chanted, "POPS PLEASE GIVE ME ALL THE SHAMAN ORBS AND FURS." Others refused to report Pops#7221, arguing that the player was merely helping them.

Other players have not been so lucky. Some hackers have instead chosen to spam in-game items, such as ice cubes, to deliberately cause lag and disconnect players from rooms.

Dramaformice reached out to the creator of a popular Transformice cheat engine for comment on the current state of the game as well as the recent attacks against servers.

"Im just making cheats not attacking anything," the creator said.

During the interview, the creator told Dramaformice that the cheat engine was first released in December 2024 and was written in C++. According to the creator, its usage peaked in 2025, particularly among players in racing rooms. The cheat engine now operates as a standalone program and grants players abilities such as summoning items and making mice "sticky" to different surfaces.

The cheat engine's Discord server has around 600 members, where users can purchase one month of access to the program for €6.99.

Although the cheat engine's server is currently offline due to its private server fee issues, its creator has announced plans to update the program soon.

| DRAMAFORMICE | Who Was Behind the 6 Days DDoS Attack Against TFM?

Hello mice gamers. This is Dramaformice, the only credible news organization in Transformice.

August 16 (Dramaformice) - Hackers had been carrying out DDoS attacks against Transformice's servers for six days. Over the past week, players on Discord and Reddit reported experiencing unusually high ping and frequent connection issues.

Today, after a nearly week-long disruption, players were finally able to return to their favorite grind sessions for cheese as usual. Upon their return, some players expressed frustration over the game's security.

But questions remain: Who was behind the DDoS attack? And could it happen again?

One of Dramaformice's sources claimed to have been in close contact with the alleged hacker. According to the source, the alleged hacker was sending as many as approximately 4,000 bots at once in an attempt to disrupt players' connections.

The alleged hacker claimed responsibility for the attack yesterday, according to screenshots of Discord conversations provided by the source. The alleged hacker also claimed that Transformice had been creating 16 new servers in an effort to counter the attack.

Dramaformice has not been able to independently verify the alleged hacker's claims.

Other Dramaformice sources have suggested that Transformice has previously been vulnerable to similar attacks. In the past, cheat engines targeting the game were reportedly sold online for as little as $20.

A DDoS attack, short for distributed denial-of-service attack, is a malicious attempt to disrupt traffic to a targeted server or online service by overwhelming it with traffic from a large number of devices.
