This is very accurate to real hamsters, I like what happens when you hold down the wheel for too long :smile: The art and music is really good too!

I like the little easter egg when you have the hamster in the wheel for too long, and the music is *perfect* for hamsters. The little gibberish he says when he's running is adorable, and the art style is consistent. It's hard for me to tell what clicking on the hay does- it's not as big of a change as moving to the wheel or water.

This game is absolutely stellar. I would definitely recommend to anyone without a hamster because it really brings me into one of their lives. I get to witness the magnificient behaviors and inner workings of their minds. great job!

Cute game! The art and audio are perfect. I'm also so happy that what I thought would happen when I kept running on the wheel actually did.

For some reason I could only interact with the wheel though, no matter where I clicked. Maybe something strange is up with my browser if nobody else had the same issue.

Ah thank you for the feedback @remzo, I made a mistake implementing the Unity GUI Canvas so the hotspots scale improperly with the browser. I'll work on this but if anyone reading this is having an issue, try resetting your browser's zoom to 100% (shortcut: CTRL+0).

I made hamster spin around. The music is excellent, maybe the best tunes you've made so far!

I like the art of your game (good job with Asesprite) and also the music is cute.

OMG. I never knew I needed this! So cute! Spinny skinny! Kudos for the fart in the audio track too. :hamster: :poop: :rofl: Really though, pretty damn good for a day's work!

Very funny game like the concept.

Very good animation.

Incredibly adorable game. The art style and animation are clean and super charming.

It is a bit on the shallow side, though - not much to do once you've watched your little hamster do all three activities. Even when switching between the three things, the little hammy-dude just teleports from place to place instead of moving there. The simplicity is understandable since you made it in just 1 day - but the game was so cute that I wanted to spend more time with it.

Good work!

Brilliant, really cute with great art and lots of nice little touches like the spinning round the wheel and the sleeping animation. Great work, especially for one day!

Cute artwork and great animation. The sound gave it a humorous side. Though when it came to actual gameplay it lacked. It could use some kind of goal, perhaps keep the hamster happy and not spin it to death.

Cute little game, altough it becomes repetitive quite fast ^^U Good job for one day!

super-hadoken 2020-10-21 14:16

Super cute. Great work for only one day!

keibii 2020-10-23 17:18
