Clever, and not too difficult. I was hoping that someone would make a hamster wheel game. :)

oh man, hamster in a wheel platforming was an early idea I had for this jam. I don't think I could have made it nearly as good as this. the music really kept me paying.

Cute game! It was hard for me, I wish there were more frequent checkpoints.

Not bad! Really great product for a weekend. Despite being simple, I felt your graphics were adorable, and enjoyed the aesthetic. I will say, the first screen feels WAY more difficult than like the next five haha. Good iterative design, and the music made me happy. I do think the theme usage was maybe a bit shallow, but overall I loved the product and would play more of it. Well done!

Love the crying hamster and the country music. Couldn't progress further than the first level though - it was a bit too hard.

Nice and cozy! Both gameplay and art feel funny and help brighten up! However the first level was way too difficult compared to the rest of the game, which almost made me drop the game at first :p

This game is very fun to play! I like how the ball bounces with every wall in the levels, also very balanced, music is good and graphics are cute. Great job dev! :v:

Think about ScoreBoard for players! So we can score and see how much we can beat xD

Nice puzzle platformer, the gameplay feels nice and fluid, is it all done with Unity's physics engine? The music is relaxing and suits the mood of the game quite well, and that hamster is pretty cute. I don't think it's very useful to keep the menu on the left displayed at all times, but it's no big deal. Good job overall, this is impressive for a solo game :thumbsup:

Great game! I had a hard time on the first room because I didn't know you could change directions in the air. I scrolled down and saw the gif of the first room and that cleared it up for me.

I loved the game, the controls respond well and the sound design was really good! I just think that perhaps an indication of the position of the thorns would be welcome. Great job, congratulations!

Nice puzzle game! I liked that it is hard at the beginning until get the way to control. The movement could use a bit of inertia to soften the side change. Overall nice job!

Cute game, was fun to play. Reminded me of Bruce Lee on the C=64 which is one of my favorite games.

Good game, was playing it on hard mode by not changing direction. Then it got a bit easier! Really good that you made so many levels in the short time. Must have taken some testing.

Theme, character and idea great. Good music too.

Nice effort!

Neat platformer. The auto walking forward do add some difficutlty to the game...

Cute theme, and nice level design. The music was fitting as well.
What made the game harder than neccessary was the overly large hitboxes on everything - not easy to predict when you'd hit something. But otherwise really fun!

The whole aesthetic and feel of the game felt like a HUGE throwback to early Shockwave games, and damn did that hit my nostalgia right at the core!

Not too bad! The art is rather basic and the level design has this "cobbled together" look but the core mechanics still work and I played it till the end :) The general level progression could be a bit better though. Some of the harder levels were sprinkled in the easier ones instead of having a linear progression. In general, most levels were on the same difficulty, they do not really diverge that much. I think it could've been a little shorter too. Just adding more levels that don't bring much variation to the table will bore the player rather fast. Also, I didn't like how the fan killed my jumping momentum as soon is I went in fan distance. That did cost me some lives .

Still, all in all a nice little puzzle platformer. The score was also very catchy :)

What a happy game:) I thought I didn't like the music, and then the melody started and I realised I love it. It's perfect for this game. Nice to see a really light hearted take on the theme.

I have to say, but the combination you made it was amazing!
Hamster with this kind of song it's great!
Love the vibe!

I really enjoyed the intro scene. It is suprisingly nice to have a clear representations of the controls, and purpose of the game for these ludum dares. One thing that I would have liked would be a way to cut off your jump so it doesn't go as high

Everything goes well together. It's got a fair level of difficulty. The graphics and calming audio synergize really nicely to create a calming mood. The controls feel really nice. The idea of having a hamster "stuck in a loop" is really clever and cute for the theme. In my opinion though, the life system is pretty old-school. I think it would be better if you ditch the life system altogether. Overall though, excellent game!

Great game! A nice concept, and well executed. Only problem is the difficulty isn't very consistent, and could have been done better (The first level was much harder than some of the following ones).Very good graphics and audio as well.

Effects and graphics are successful. It is fun and happy game. The controls and each levels difficulty are okay. Going back to the previous level is good idea. When I pushed buttons and some passages are open reminds me the game called "bounce". Almost great.

Nice game! An entertaining classic platform. Although the movements are sometimes a bit stiff, and the mechanics do not always work correctly. For example, I have had problems with the fan. Anyway, very good job, and I liked that you did many levels.

Great work! I too went with a hamster in the wheel, however you made a fun game, and mine is more of an experience.. I forgot to include the fun :p - Loved the ramp up in difficulty, and introduction to the mechanics. Controls were fun, felt like the proper movement for a rolling wheel. Great work with menus, checkpoints, etc! Only thing missing that I would have loved to see is a slight invulnerability after death, so you have a second or two to 'regain your footing' when spawning into a spot, preventing an immediate death again by a trap.

Hello hamster friend! I'm so impressed with the breadth of this game. Usually jam games are missing some crucial feature (like a win condition lol) but yours has everything and it even has a dang options menu! Controlling the hamster is really fun, I feel like it's very forgiving even though it never stops moving. That causes some interesting tension when you don't know which direction to go and you're just going back and forth to stall for time. The peanuts add an extra challenge that's really fun. The art is friendly and approachable, and the music suits it perfectly. Awesome job!
