Rodent Rolling Rampage by Kilominior

[raw]
made by Kilominior for Ludum Dare 54 (JAM)

Work, Work, Work...

YOU CAN NOT BEAR IT ANY MORE!

As a hamster, you had no choice but to work: keep running in a "hamster ball" to generate electricity for human!

Now you decide to break it out, break the ball, break the rules.

Strike to leave the electric generator which you have spent so long running inside, this is your first step.

Once the step is done, you just need to find a wall that hard enough, and strike it with the ball, until the ball breaks into pieces.

This could be a piece of cake, now let's roll and see! p1.png p2.png p3.png p4.png

About Game:

In Rodent Rolling Rampage, you need to act as a hamster in a sturdy hamster ball, and your target is to break the ball, by which you can escape from working for human. In the limited sphere space, your rodent ability of run, jump and dash is the only way to make the ball move.

How to play:

[A]/[←] & [D]/[→]: Run

Quickly Double Press [A]/[←] & [D]/[→]: Dash

[W]/[↑]: Jump (you can double jump)

仓鼠滚球的玩法总是让我想起来《仓鼠球》那款经典游戏,算是童年经典系列之一了hhhh,美术的画风很可爱,破球的机制也很有挑战性(确信)

Interesting concept and cute graphics. Found the bouncing ground very frustrating to deal with, i tried the first level 3 times, after being unable to even reach the wall due to the blocks being impossible to jump over even after i dropped them i rage quit the game

Really cute and creative game! I think the controls were a bit too frustrating to deal with though. Making them a bit more precise and snappy would probably feel more fair to the player

@lenan Thanks for your feedback, we have updated the first level and now some toybricks are able to damage the ball, also we have fixed the bug of generating electricity, welcome to try this new version!

Was very interesting, and it was definitely cute! It's a great concept and I think it has a lot of potential if there were puzzles related to knocking things over to smash your ball!

Great art and visual polish! The mechanic is a nice twist on the classic platforming genre. I beat the first two levels, but glitched into the ground on the third level by the moving platform. Spent 15 minutes trying to beat the 4th level, but gave up in the end. It felt good when I pulled off a strong dive bounce up to a platform, but unfortunately the physics of the hamster/ball felt too inconsistent and the controls too unresponsive.

I can see the potential for this game. I think your intro in which you taught the mechanics to 'turn on' the main menu was quite elegant!

Adorable game. Took me a second to figure out how to turn in place to power up a battery, but once I figured that out it was a blast.

Fun game, controls is a little bit clunky in my opinion, graphics is nice, really cool game overall!

Fun game and cool concept for sure. The art and interactions were also interesting and fun. It took a minute to get the controls down, but after a bit the interaction is understandable and novel. Also landing a big bounce on level three is super fun and challenging. As for feedback, I ended up getting stuck in the ceiling on the second level when pushed up by a platform and that kinda ended my run. Also had a difficult time staying in some of the generators and getting out of some of the other ones, the traction beam effect used to pull you in to them is nice to get the initial connection. But the interaction seemed much stronger when on the left of the generator than the right side. Lastly, a feature that would be some nice quality of life would be an indicator to let you know how much charge the generator has, if it is implemented I could just be completely oblivious. Overall awesome game though!

Really love the art style, best part of the game, the music loops too quickly. It's a very hard from the 2nd level onward, can be quite frustrating getting anywhere, think if you work on the movement inside the cage it can be pretty good.

Cool concept, Nice art. The start menu was very creative. The controls were a bit frustrating.
