dtgreene: On the other screen is a 2D platformer, which the player controls with the mouse.

the platformer can only be controlled with the mouse, and there is no way to change that.
Wait...are there any platformers at all, which you (only) control with the mouse?

Sounds like hell to me.

Not that I am aware of, but with suitable software, one could probably jury rig certain simple platformers that need only 2 buttons and a d-pad to work with a mouse. Ideas might be the NES Mario games, and the Sonic games (the Sega Genesis has three buttons, but in sonic games all three do the same thing unless debug mode has been enabled).

That might be interesting to try, anyway. (It feels like Sonic might work better than Mario, given how much more important momentum is in the Sonic games.)

scientiae: The first Star Wars Knight of the Old Republic game has a real-time turret battle, using the mouse to aim (as well as the WASD keys, fortunately, which are faster) in the round, with the entire hemisphere potential attack vectors for the fighters. You have a radar to help, but only a couple of hits will end the game.

And then you have to go back to your last save, which is probably the safe place just before the first boss fight (to get off the first planet), which is a difficult fight (RNG to skew likelihood of unkillable villain predominance in that fight, whilst you try to kill the other bad guy), to trigger the cut scene ending, whereupon you have to dodge randomly across the area to the exit and avoid overhead laser damage which is serious enough to one-hit kill you if you haven't used a medkit after the battle, to watch an unskippable three-part story link before the mini game starts.

I hate this part of the game. I have rage-quit more times than I can remember. (KotOR is a turn-based RPG with pause.) Fortunately, next time I reach this bit there is a mod that makes the minigame a lot easier, apparently.
I died the first time, but I eventually got pretty good at the mini-game. It's DEFINITELY awkward and takes a bit of practice though. Practice they give you by throwing you in the deep end. With nasty punishment if you fail.

It uses a graphical API last seriously used in 1997.

After giving this some thought, I concur.
It might not be a platformer in the common sense, but I can imagine creating a fun game, being played that way (= only with mouse).

bler144: The joke is that the whole game takes place inside a munitions factory, but the guns and explosives are purely decorative.
Ok, I laughed at that.

A game where you stalk, kidnap, rape and murder your unrequited crush and all her girlfriends. I'm half sure one already exists.

Classic Doom style FPS where every time you shoot or get shot you go into bullet time and have to do a QTE that determines the damage. Also, the game is entirely set in airport treadmills and runs at 25 fps.

And yet Ion Fury is still the best shooter in years.

Close enough to RapeLay?

How about a game where you have to navigate a digital version of the family law system, and every time you make a mistake it discharges an electrical surge that has the risk of frying your system (i.e. has USB Killer capacity)?

QTE! Put lots of QTE in, that's always a bad idea!

Preferably an Point and Click adventure with QTE. Whenever you click on something to use it, some QTE buttons pop up. Of course not for the mouse you're using for pointing and clicking, but for the keyboard.

QTE is old fashioned.

To keep people hooked, you need QTP - Quick Time Paragraphs.

Random moments during the game where you have to type an essay within 30 seconds or your character dies.

I said graphical API, not engine.

So I was meaning to imply something pre DirectX or OpenGL, like Voodoo.
