Very cute!

love the hamster theme, and bonus stage is surprisingly hard

Such a great game! Getting it to detect the right shape can be a little finicky, but besides that everything in this is just so well done.

very fun and cozy and cute! I love it

It’s such a cute art style. I haven’t figured out the objective yet, but I love that I can freely do whatever I want.

Really striking artstyle with the low poly animals with no shading, Makes me think of Katamari. The drawing 'signals' is very intuitive although the star shape is a bit difficult to pull off. I really like how the story is expressed through music and actions not words. The bonus has a great shift in tone with the music :D

All in all a stellar entry and I could easily see it being extended into a bigger game with more environments and marks.

oh, its so cute and beautiful, and so satisfying mechanically. don't understand without guide, but i finished, and i love game!

Probably the most adorable game I've played so far this LD! I admire this artstyle where models are as simple as they can be, but still ridiculously cute and most importantly, with so much personality. Makes me wonder whether I should give PicoCAD a try some day.

Movement feels fluid and impactful. Everything feels so responsive and alive, and I love the scarf (hopefully it is a scarf, haha). Took me a little bit of trial and error to finish the whole game and learn all signals, but I managed to.

Really loved the bonus mode after finishing, that is a nice touch, haha.

The only thing slightly bothering me was a bug with the scene transition; if you get to the edge of the screen, which triggers a camera move, but you don't continue forward, you will get stuck in the previous screen, but it's easy to work around, and figure out, so, no biggie.

Wait this is incredibally amazing... I love the idea so much!! I spent 5 min drawing random lines and hearts until I had to read the instruction to know that I can go to other places. It would be even better if you can put a little hint to the very beginning of the game. After I draw the star and got the weapon, I accidently hit my friend on the left, for a second I thought I killed my friend :( luckily it woke up lol. Incredible game!!!

The little hamster is incredibly cute! Your interpretation of the theme is perfect. One small suggestion: maybe add some hint at the map edge, because at first I didn’t realize I could go left and spent quite a while drawing in place. In the end I managed to win my hamster girlfriend—great game!

sooooooooo cute

The 3D-to-pixel conversion looks incredible. The mechanics are adorable and on-theme, though the experience feels a bit short. I’d love to see this expanded further

deathandrepublic 2026-04-21 10:58

using hampsters to mouse-paint on the ground was a crazy idea

An incredibly cute game!!!! And the idea of drawing symbols is really cool — a great short game!

I love Boba and I will let him defend my life! :smile: I mean what is not to love a gripping story a fun little mechanic and even a bonus stage! Great job! I did have some stutters in the beginning I assume it's the godot thingy when a particle effect is rendered for the first time on a new browser but otherwise it went smoothly! How did you go about detecting the shapes? The system worked really well with just the right amount of wiggle room!

braktheman 2026-04-21 19:56

What an art style! Great job!

super impressive for something made in 48 hours

roroto-sic 2026-04-23 17:35

Very cute game! and it's impressive to have enough time to add a bonus game unlockable when main game is completed!

It's amazing! Really cool little story with nice puzzles. I tried to do a game like this before, ended up being way too hard for players to figure out the language. Yours is very well balanced, it wasn't obvious at first glance but not too hard after a minute. Also great idea to add a little bonus game by reusing the mechanics. Congrats!
