Nice game, simple but fun. The audio could be better, but it is ok, and the pixel art is good-looking.

There is a bug, my score continues to grow even after death. I suppose the game continue after the death screen, and enemies keeps running into my character (and dying, thus increasing my score)

Very nice little game. The hamster could go a bit faster, though. It was hard to kill enemies when you had to run from the other side of the room. Also you can pick up stuff after you've died which happened to me with a 2x tile.

@stefvanschie That's why there is a speed up power up! ;D

I like hamsters.

Very cool! The graphics are awesome, the controls are spot on, and the sound really fits the style! Cool to have a lot of different enemies with different characteristics. Very well done!!

I loved it! the idea was very funny! The art was cool! :D

Very retro. Might be that I simply didn't make it far enough, but would be nice with some breaks between waves maybe. Right now it constantly ramps up.

Cool! Awesome fun!

Very fun game, if the game balance are taken care of, this game can be very addicting.

We got a winner here folks! Holy crap, this game is beatiful in everything! Music are very relaxing, hamster is cute and have a taste of fashion, bloody snails that slows you with their slime, OP powers up that makes the game even more funnier to play, everything, EVERYTHING IS AMAZING! Btw my top score was 12400 points.

Very fun game. And well done, I really love the power up fest. It works perfectly as short term reward system, as well as a risk/reward strategic system (do I go to in the far corner to that X3 or not ?).

Graphics ar fun and humorous.
Maybe there's a big spike in the difficulty curve at some point because, I will always die with quite the same score.

Anyway, well done !

alpenter 2016-12-16 16:43

Yup the difficulty is definitely the main issue with this game. If I ever do something more with it, I'll have waves of enemies rather than constantly making them spawn faster and faster.

Oh, that a nice small game! I like the idea, and gameplay was fun, graphics are nice, so... yeah. Overall - it's pretty good entry. Nice job! :)

Funny game but very hard to win !

uliana-galich 2016-12-18 13:18

I like your style and the game is kinda fun! hope to see other your games in future :)
I'm designer and artist myself, so I really appreciate your work on graphics, we spent a lot of time on it too :)

I enjoyed the music and the general looks & feel. Simple idea with some depth as well - everything I could touch was "good" which made it easy to learn, but judging when and where to move gave me a feeling of skillfulness and an opportunity to improve. Perhaps the pacing could be looked at - start of the game can feel quite slow and then suddenly a huge onslaught happens. Great job!

patrickgh3 2016-12-26 07:05

Nice polish, the sound effects and visuals were very satisfying. The balance of the game was well done. Nothing!

loveapplegames 2016-12-27 22:06

Fun retro-style game, very compulsive! Had a lot of fun with this.

darenn 2016-12-30 12:32

Nice game, pretty cool and funny

lucas-ferrantelli 2017-01-02 09:30

Nice game ! Fun to play !

ringlangmail-com 2017-01-02 10:40

I especially liked how random were all the bonuses: first playthrough I only found speedups and bombs.

franklins-ghost 2017-01-02 11:12

Such a fun game, liked the simple gameplay and thought it was so nicely done with the power ups and constant attacks. Was fast to get faster and bigger and plan the bomb explosions for when you really needed them.

starlight-glimmer-is-best-poney 2017-01-02 11:46

Such a simple idea, yet very entertaining. I liked how the score multipliers give an opportunity for 6 and 7 figure score. At some point enemies start spawning too commonly.

zirrrus 2017-01-02 15:57

Difficult but fun. Great style!

ant0nin 2017-01-02 21:29

Fun polished gameplay, I liked the Nes graphics! 5*

fabsy 2017-01-02 23:26

Cool game, simple, but it works very well, the gameplay is fun.
I think there is a moment where the difficulty rises by a lot, maybe too much.
Other than that, it really is a very fun game to play.
