The art and music is really good too!
It's hard for me to tell what clicking on the hay does- it's not as big of a change as moving to the wheel or water.
For some reason I could only interact with the wheel though, no matter where I clicked. Maybe something strange is up with my browser if nobody else had the same issue.
I was able to achieve full Hamster rotation! :smile_cat:
It is a bit on the shallow side, though - not much to do once you've watched your little hamster do all three activities. Even when switching between the three things, the little hammy-dude just teleports from place to place instead of moving there. The simplicity is understandable since you made it in just 1 day - but the game was so cute that I wanted to spend more time with it.
Good work!
