A very cute hamster 😄! I liked the minimalistic concept and art style. It is worth exploring combining different states/actions and look at the results. I like feeding the hamster until full and then forcing it onto the wheel. 🤢 I'm so evil.

@fedora @brookman and @yeomsley thank you all for the feedback! This is my very first solo game which I actually finished, so it means a lot to me ❤️

"Best hamster game in the world" IGN ... but no seriously, the sounds are awesome, the graphics are cute, and the gameplay is inviting exploration 🎉

Just absolutely adorable. Is it weird that I was scared of losing? Like...can you run the hamster to death? I'm not sure I wanna know. Love the style and vibe - oozes charm

I explored 80% and lost. Poor hamster was unhappy at the end. Very cute idea with an interesting take on the theme. Enjoyed it very much! Keep it up.

Such a cute game but I wasn't able to win no matter what I did, he just didn't like / didn't react to anything at some point. Adorable otherwise!

@mnursey thanks, I was thinking of tamagotchi when I came up with the game idea! :) @darthdeus @daracodes thanks a lot :) @charlieboss22 noo, I downloaded normal human sounds from https://freesound.org/ and then I changed the pitch of them in Audacity to sound a bit more cartoonish :)

@tomatolamp Aaah no! You definitely can not run him to death, I would not allow it 😊 🐹 thanks for the feedback! :) @tamail oh no, I am sorry! Yeah I guess it can be tricky, especially if one is clicking fast because you can that miss the cues the hamster is telling - for example when he start to dislike something..

I really enjoyed the game! it took me some tries to make the hamster happy hahaha and I only explored 80% but it was fun the "try and error" all the interactions with the Hamster and the reactions. Awesome job! 😺

"hamster goes whiiiiii" fun little tamagotchi like game. I like your sounds for the hamster. i do feel like the rest button stayed disabled to long sometimes. I had done everything already(i think) but still could not let him rest or run. But i might missed something but might be the same issue as @tamail

Fun, simple, sweet and short game. I really enjoyed the sound effects and graphic of the game, and the combinations of mixing the elements. I ended up losing the first time I played because I made the hamster throw up 😨 . Overall I really enjoyed the game and the mood fit perfectly

Cute game! Love the sound effects
very cute little game, i made the hamster happy on my second try. my only criticism would be that i thought the cooldown for the rest button was waaay too long. overall good work!

I liked the game specially the sound effects good job ✌️
I don't know why so many people chose the cute rodent to be stuck in the loop, I like this "tamagoshi" style, and the sounds combined very well with the art

Despite making my hamster "extrememly unhappy", I still love the little guy/gal! Really fun and funny, and I LOVED the hamster noises... particularly when not into a tickle.

a cute game I like the sounds that the hamster make very adorable
I once had 3 mices - they could stay forever in the wheel - the hamster seems to be way more complex ^^. I never managed to get him completely happy (but somehow made 100%). Not sure if I missed something because at one point all my decisions just could be wrong :-(
Overall a cute game with really nice sounds :D

how cute!!! good job in general, but I really liked the SFX 😍
Nice looking game, good pixel art, limited actions tho, I could only get as far as 65%
This is fun with sounds and graphics. Making virtual hamster happy is harder than a real one.
So cute! I like the simple set of mechanics that quickly allows you to know the hamster as you would an actual pet, with all their quirks. Also, projectile vomiting hamster spinning in a wheel is an instant +1 to the overall score.

Very cute gameplay. I was not patient enough to get to 100% but I tried for a long time. The sound fx were very cute

Neat game! Not sure how the score works but I got 90% even though I filled the Happiness all the way up. Good job on the game!
