I have no idea why, but I loved this! It's so simple, yet so enjoyable... Also very funny and cute graphics (loved suits/rockets on the hamster)! Nicely done!

Hey hamster buddy! I also made a similar game :) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/hamster-happiness Anyway I like yours, only recommendation I would give is that clicking inside the wheel did not feel like is doing much, it could definitely be giving a player more satisfaction for doing it...

That was great! I'm always curious to see more interpretations of the godawful idle genre, and it's definitely one that begs to be explored with a theme like "stuck in a loop". The graphics and music are super cute, the upgrades are appropriately ridiculous, and most importantly - it doesn't actually suck you into the endless loop of an ad-filled idle game :)

It would have been nice to have some sort of an ending as a small reward for purchasing all the upgrades (I'm assuming there isn't one when reaching max speed with the final wheel... right?).

Thank you for this little gem!

This is adorable and also a really really good clicker game. One of the best jam ones so far imo

I really dig these clicker games. And this one just makes me smile like a fool.

I've checked a few of these this time around, but I like the charisma of the hamster here. I played until I bought all upgrades, and it was neat to see them physically appear in the world. Little weight lifts, snickers, power suits, there's a lot to see. This one is in the short end, but it still has a lot of good stuff on it. It's one I'll be remembering for some time!

Ahhh... I have carpal tunnel syndrome now from clicking faster than a pumped hamster on a time traveling wheel taking 'roids!!! =P

Great game!

Haha, a fun skin for a clicker game. As all clickers, the problem is that it kinda ends up going nowhere (although still addicting) - but i guess thats kinda the joke here: it doesnt matter how fast you spin, because you are not going anywhere. So good job and nice take on the theme!

The graphics are cute, and it's fun to see all the crazy upgrades.

Despite being a clicker game you can get through it fairly quick, meaning it doesn't overstay its welcome, which is nice for a Jam game. Though, I think some of the upgrade curves might have been a *bit* too steep, since I would sometimes go from "my clicks do almost nothing at all" to "clicking for a bit gets me to top speed right away" in relatively few upgrades.

I ended up maxing out every single powerup until it was too expensive to buy more, just in case something happened. Nothing happened. Oh well.

Good work, really cute game and a solid entry.

Great clicker game! Enjoyed the art a lot. One small criticism is the music gets pretty repetitive by the end, and I didn't know to scroll down the list of upgrades in the beginning. Just adding a scroll bar or give each section of upgrades their own section would be great!

I once made a game with a similar setting, it was one of that games that you shoot a projectile as far as you can, and in that case it was a scientist launching a hamster to get enough speed to go back in time

Fun take on the clicker game, I thought all the hamster upgrades were really cute and I loved the graphics! If I had one critique it would be nice if you could somehow make the interface all fit on one screen, or reduce the amount of scrolling needed. Great work overall!

A very solid-made game for a weekend jam, great work.
