How does your game fit the theme?
You play as a hamster (..of sorts) that is made to run in a wheel for its owner's amusement. Your life is a continuous series of daily tasks... unless you manage to escape.

God damn. This was depressing. Thank you for the experience.

It's ok. Still a bit confusing what I'm supposed to be doing.

I really, really like the vibe of this game! It feels nostalgic and cute and also a little creepy maybe. Overall really interesting experience and great take on the theme!!

One of the most creative ideas I've seen so far! It was very creepy, I think it's a great way to interpret the theme too. And loops are somehow also a horror trope, cycles of things and so on.. well done. I escaped and left my mate behind, but was not sure what I could have done. It said "eat" next to the pink creature, and previously when I pressed "eat" at a mouse, I violently crunched it. So I did not want to do that again.. also, I could not fulfil the wheel task I think.. no idea what I did wrong.

Suggestions

  • Improve collision and movement
  • Make clearer why the stats matter (do you die after no eating or something?), and what the green/red bar at the left is taht sometimes pops up

This is giving strong flash game vibes, I love it!

Very silly, I like the concept. It was quite buggy though.

I had no inspiration for this game jam. Enjoy this nonsense game full of slaps, wheels and possibly bugs.
