This was hilarious. Points for the title, cause that’s a fantastic title. I ran the game until the wheel froze.
Play and Run and Run...

Apart from haha funny hamster running, there was an immense lack of actual gameplay, even when looking into clicker games. Usually you want to at least have the player be able to do something, be that by adding little side games to interact with, or having your currency go up so fast that they are constantly buying upgrades. This one felt a little slow in comparison sadly, even though I did find the upgrades funny, and the wheel speeding up also equally goofy.
Something about this game... I keep coming back. I think... I love it? I don't understand why it captivates me so much, something about the photorealistic background and the seizure inducing speed of the wheel, the hamster moving at hyper speed... Is this game some sort of state sponsored mind control psyop designed to implant images in my head? And I like it? And makes me recommend it to everyone? Please help me understand.
I love the PNG art haha. I hope I made him happy... Quite addictive (like most clickers for me ) ^^
I love the hampter. Funny game, great personality for a simple clicking game!
I've never seen an hamster running so fast xD
Simple clicker, but it was fun! Thanks!
this is delightful. i love the use of just flat pngs for the graphics. it is ultimately just a pretty generic clicker game but there is something really funny about just making a hamster run really fast with sneakers and technology, i had a good time with it EDIT: left it running and just unlocked BUTTER, gotta add a few points for that
Do you imply that Sisyphus is a hamster? :D
Nice clicker! Although at some point math breaks and numbers increase faster than I manage to upgrade stuff :) Also using math notation could make it a bit more readable
I liked the drip i got for my hamster but got a bit too slow in the middle.
Rat go nyoooom!! was fun for a while but the waiting got longer and longer. clicking to boost could have been nice!
Idk xD Would've been cool to have something to do, like manually accelerate the wheel or something. Cute detail to give the hamster the accessories you buy lol
