Graphics is very cool, maybe it lack of animation, the fake 3D effect work fine and there is a lot of humour in this entry ! Good work !

Incredible! A familiar genre combined with a familiar theme in a humorous way. The cheering sounds and graphics of the audience really completed it. If I have to nitpick something I would say that the taking damage/hitting obstacle sound doesn't fit in very well with the rest of the audiovisual theme, maybe it could have been something more brutal?

Funny ! I like the 2D art you've chosen. I would prefere the wheel rolls linearly instead of frame per frame, but it works !

I love the wheel setup. It seems you did all the math for the fake 3D effect so why not pushing the effort and interpolate obstacle positions between each step ? I think you could get very smooth wheel move this way ! Anyway, nice hamtaro madmax mashup ! :hamster: :crossed_swords:

Игра интересная,только у меня немного подлагивает почему-то.

Nice wheel and take on the theme. The game could use a more fluid turning wheel. Putting the controls easily visible would help (and you have space to put them on top left or top right of the screen). Other than that, I enjoyed it as it is quite creative and humourus

Thanks you everybody, we are happy that you enjoyed the game :)

@jooky we aren't able to read Cyrillic alphabet but I feel that you enjoyed our game and we thank you for this.

@robowarrior1982 @iorena we had a lot of struggle to make all the graphics and audio so it leads to the lacks of animations and too cheap sfx, we will try next time to plan better our works.

@benjamin A lot of the math is done by unity and even it is quite hard to do in 3 days ^^" but we did the best we could.

@vivien-fargette @sharked we know that some would prefer to have a fluid wheel but we really like to add some retro mechanics in our games :p

Challenging little game. I appreciated the Mad Max references and thought you did a good job with the 3D wheel effect. Thanks for the game!

There was fun in this idea but not in the actual playing of it. I found it hard to judge distance and could have done with an impact animation. Maybe some shading on the blocks nearest would help with distance. I did think it was funny.

@ryano it's an actual 3d wheel ^^ but with some pixel art treatment to make it more like we wanted ;) thanks for your comment

@arron-fowler Yep we are aware of this problem and we are working on our spare time to do something about that and deliver a new version ;) we appreciate that you liked the idea

Great little challenge! Love the hamster wheel idea, I went the same route, but with a completely different experience. Had some great laughs playing too, nice work on your entry!

vrerabek 2020-10-19 09:33

haha I laughed while playing this game. Very cute :smile:

I'm still not sure whether these are giant hamsters, or tiny motorbikes...

I think the sound really helps sell this one - I love the juxtaposition of the baying croud against that poor injured-hamster squeak noise. My high score was 18053!

kack3y 2020-10-19 17:39

Thanks you all for your comments

@redhermit I have the impression that the hamster wheel idea is really mainstream for this theme :sweat_smile:

@vrerabek glad to make you happy :)

@ptsnoop Tiny bikes or giant hamster... :thinking: I will let you choose what you prefer :). We wanted to have an innocent mc :angel_tone3: but in a cruel world :smiling_imp: good if the sound helps you to enjoy it ;)

Funny game. Cute character. I never needed to dive because I could always move aside. Animation moving in big steps was a bit distracting.
