A very cute hamster :smile:! 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. :nauseated_face: I'm so evil.
Cute animations and sounds. I had fun taking care of my virtual hamster :hamster: Nice work!
I really liked it, the hamster is pretty cute!
@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 :heart:
Very cute :) Reminds me of tamagotchi! Awesome work!
Such a cute game. The sound effect is really adorable and effective.
"Best hamster game in the world" IGN ... but no seriously, the sounds are awesome, the graphics are cute, and the gameplay is inviting exploration :tada:
very nice, did u do all the sound?
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 :blush: :hamster: 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! :smiley_cat:
Reached 95% and not sure which combinations are left :D It's a very cute game
"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 :fearful: . Overall I really enjoyed the game and the mood fit perfectly
Haha love this one! The cute sound effects of the Hamster crack me up. XD Great job! Keep it up.
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!
@samelgamedev thanks for the feedback! :) @jag @cedric86 @isac haha thanks a lot, I really did not expect the sounds to be so successful :D @theepsi @aterlamia @marcusuke thanks a lot :)
I liked the game specially the sound effects good job :v:
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 :heart_eyes:
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!
