Awww, this was adorable! I didn't buy the cat as I thought it would be unfair to my hamsters that they cannot have a bit of rest. :D I really enjoyed playing it, well done!

One of my hamsters dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I trully loved that the room got brighter the faster it went, it was funny to stop the wheel while they were still running xD. Also liked it alot that you still had to do stuff even if it was an incremental! Really well done, unexpected end, great visuals over all, well done guys!

so cute and super polished!! i agree w the commenter below that it's not too idle due to the feeding hamster mechanism; it might be interesting to have the ability to buy an autofeeder or something if the goal is to make an idle game. i also didn't know what the threshold was for exploding the hamsters, so i didn't really use the cat as much after i bought it (maybe a progress bar to show time until exploding hamster)? great job overall

Definitely the cutest entry! I liked the variety in hamster designs. Not really an idle game, a lot of clicking/dragging involved. I do wonder if it’s necessary; maybe clicking could be restricted to managing resources, and the hamsters would do everything on their own. I did not quite get how long hamsters can work before exploding, so I was very careful with the cat. Ultimately, I did not have enough patience to see it through to the end, but I appreciate love and creativity! My favorite moments were when they tried to escape the wheel but kept on spinning anyway.

This is how a good UX can make players complete the game. Thank you for stating 15 mins gameplay I really did complete the game!!!  Most excellent tutorial and directionality I've played!

I love a game that lets me save the world. Cute art, very finished feeling overall. If I had to critisise one thing it would be the small in-window size. Good job!

And I hear you want to make it a full game, great! 

At first, nothing made me think I'd actually finish the game, but in the end, I did. The story turned out to be really engaging.

...So, what happened to the hamsters in the end?

It was an incredibly cute clicker game! I really liked the system where you feed the hamsters after they’ve done some work (as a reward for their hard work). The music created a relaxing atmosphere too. It’s awesome game!!

this game is so cute, I love hamsters

so cute very satisfying love the detail of the planet glowing up as you progress and ultimately power up the world

Gotta thank you for all those hamsters who saved the world and brought us back our energy. Now everyone's gonna use them respectfully now... Also, I love the art and soundtrack! Good game, and congrats on the submission!

Cute Game, funny premise and lovely hamsters. Love it.

Lovely little incremental! I wish the hamsters turned red or something before they exploded, so I'd have an indicator of when to stop overworking them, and I also had one hamster spawn weirdly and fall through the wheel, but they teleported back into the house after a while so it was fine. The music and audio was nice, and the art is BEAUTIFUL! I wish there were a few more upgrades, or at least renaming the wheel levels to something like "oil the wheel so it turns faster", just to change up the monotony of an incremental by having more wacky upgrades.

Adorable, polished little incremental game.  I like the added little things like the cat and the need for hamsters to sleep, which add a little bit of variety to the standard formula.  The progression feels good, and the hamsters are so cute!  Good graphics and good minimalist sound design.  Loved watching the wheel get redder and the room get brighter as well, nice little attention to detail.  Very fun.  Great work!

"The cat will prevent hamsters from resting.  They'll explode if they can't rest!"  Amazing.

I'm personally not a fan of clicker style games, but this one is very well done. The art especially, and the way things light up/turn on as you make progress is very satisfying. Great job!

Very nice game. I managed to lit the room. I feel like i played for too long :D Good job!

Well OF COURSE I gotta play a game called Hamster Gangster! XD

When I launched it and saw it was an idle game I initially felt like I wouldn't want to spend too much time on it but I ended up playing through the whole thing anyway! There is exactly enough engagement for it to be constant fun and the art and music are super cute and cozy. The lamp and the earth in the background slowly becoming brighter is a nice touch too! And the small amounts of dialog are charming (the sun stopped sunning ahaha)

I don't fully understand the purpose of the cat though? It stops the hamsters from resting but if they don't rest they explode so why do I pay for what seems like a debuff? Or am I missing something?

At the very very end the game did start lagging a little bit for me, the gameplay is simple enough though that it doesn't really change much, I was still able to finish it fine, it was just hearable in the music. My guess is something with how the spinning of the wheel is calculated causing some trouble at higher speeds.

Overall this was fantastic, great fun! Thank you guys for making this

Edit: I forgot to add the picture of this free spirit up here lol 

So many cute hamsters, and finally you get to save the world... It was really fun, and I really liked the changing map in the background, such a great idea!

Dare I propose this entry is perfect... INCREDIBLE IDLE/CLICKER GAME. I really love the artwork, The progression and upgrades are well scaled. All the different hamster types are neat and have niches. Saving the dying world with hamsters is VERY SERIOUS. The audio is great too! Awesome Stuff! Excellent Work!
