A very simple game idea, and the game is okay fun to play. The jumps mechanics is bit difficult to master, but is okay.
I have now also rated your game.
The movement is currently somewhat clunky, as left/right sometimes don't register it seems.
Simple but good game. I love that the world changes. My best time was 1:42:833.
I'm trying to play it but I can't! I'm using Chrome by the way.
I like the sound effects and the hamster looks really cute. I had a few problems jumping (but I think that is just a training thing). Nice idea :upside_down:
This is a neat concept, I love how the world appears from behind the hinge of the wheel, very creative. The controls were a little difficult to get into, unfortunately. It took me a while until I managed to jump off one box and onto another. The game could definitely use some tweaks in that regard.
Overall, I had fun playing. I think this could work well as some sort of tap-to-jump endless runner game.
@DiegoCTorguet: Hm, did you try using WASD? I didn't have time to add instructions to the game.
Really liked the concept. With some animations and better controls, this could be a really good quick/skill game. Regarding the controls, jump and the motion at the same time didn't worked quiet well together when the bounding box of the crates were not parallel to the screen. I would like to see more of this concept. Really nice :)
What I mean is that the page is not even loading! It gives a 502 error.
Nice concept, but the controls are a little difficult. For example, I seem to struggle with jumping while moving the wheel. Also, are the obstacles randomly generated? I got to a point where I couldn't progress because there was a tall obstacle with nothing else to jump to, which proved problematic for getting the last carrot.
Deliciously to the point, and pretty well executed(emphasis on pretty and cute) ;P. A post jam countdown version would be worthwhile. or randomly generated levels (dumb ideas like these need time, I know, just saying) Keep on jamming!
Simple and nice game. Collisions could be a little bit smoother.
Cool game, graphics are cute, the controls could be smoother and I like the way the obstacles appear.
Haha, really nice take on the theme. Interesting way to progress through the level too. Some animation would have been nice but the graphics are cute as they are :)
Hey, cool to see another game starring a hamster. Obviously I think your interpretation of the theme is absolutely brilliant ;)
The graphics were nice, the sounds were fitting, though some music would have been nice.
The game was very simple but well made. I like that you display the carrot counter X/14, this way the goal is instantly clear.
I like your spin on the "Small World" theme.
My only complaint is that to me the controlls felt a bit difficult, I think this is due to not being able to control the directions while jumping (which is unrealistic, I know, but pretty common in platformers).
It should be a rabbit eating carrots, not a hamster. 2 / 10. Just kidding. Very cool and creative game :) I think this idea and execution are one of a kind in this tournament, so that's something. Also it works in browser, another good thing :) Graphics are cute, sounds are simplistic. The idea itself is cool and controls are nice. If you want some criticism though - I would apply some pressure to the player by giving some minimal speed forced on the wheel at all times. And it would be really nice if you could move left / right at least a bit during a jump!
Lots of people are making games around the surface of a circular planet, but I like how you flipped it so you are on the inside instead. It was also very relaxing, not having to worry about a time limit. Nice work!
Nice and cute little game! I thought from the screenshots, tat it would play differently, but the way you play it surprised me for the good. it was really interesting and unique. one thing, the controls were a bit fiddly. sometimes it didn't register two keypresses at once and the jump could use some physics. other than that, great entry! really liked it!
