Loved the game! Somehow got 7 out of 6 fruits… Loved every second of rolling around in that silly little ball.

Submitted

Very cute game I love this idea!

Submitted

cute and fun game! i think its awesome that the hamster gets some spikes of their own. i did also struggle at the same point as others though

Submitted

I got stuck at the same point other people did. Loved how it felt to control the hamster ball. Really loved the feeling of momentum you can build up after going down a ramp. The platforming was really tricky, I wished there were more checkpoints to make it a little more forgiving

Submitted

This game accomplishes something really difficult which is making two different player states properly have pros and cons. There are reasons to use both, and depending on playstyle there are reasons to prefer one over the other in play that could be done with both. There's some nice player expression going on here, and the visuals while a little barebones are pretty clean. I'd love to see this expanded on with sounds, maybe some level gimmicks like moving platforms or something, yknow the works for a platformer. Overall though, super clean execution that fits the theme really well! I had an awesome time with this.

Submitted

Very cool platformen. I love the art style and the theme. Hamsters are awesome haha

Submitted

Really cute art and fluid controls! The difficulty is also nice, and there's a lot of gameplay. Really nice game :D

Submitted

Great feel to the character movement and beautiful graphics. The game has good challenging jumps and maneuvers, although the ramp jumps were a bit difficult and inconsistent. The switches between jumping and toggling spikes feel like they would be better if I could remap the jump to spacebar, something a bit more intuitive. Overall really fun game!

Submitted

This was really fun, I love the way the character controls and his animations are super well done and satisfying. The movement has a lot of weight and feels good to control, my only complaint is that some of the ramp jump are veeery hard and took me like a dozen+ tries. very awesome game tho

Submitted

Very nice and cute game, had a lot of fun with it. Tough to master though.

Submitted

Nice one! I really like what the spike mechanic adds to the gameplay!

Submitted

Yipee, I beat it. Spike mechanic is very neat (guess they are not that bad after all). The game is quite hard, so i didn't collect all fruits, but I had a lot of fun 

Submitted

Very cute! Would love to have a different control scheme. Z on a German keyboard is mapped to Y. So it reaally feels cramped to quickly jump and spawn spikes. Traditional WASD with space for jump would be my more preferred choice

Submitted

Cute game! I love the visuals and general vibe. Nice pixel art and colour palette. Lovely title screen!

For some reason I did not catch that the spike ball can move up and down walls freely, so I made the start of the game harder than it needed to be for myself. 

As others have also mentioned, the music did stop after a bit. 

I also stopped playing at this point, partially due to precise jump required and partially due to baby's nap time being over.  I do not know how long the overall game is, but by this point the game was feeling quite long, atleast for a Jam Game.  This might be personal preference though.

Great job overall!


Submitted

Really fun platformer, it was fun to figure out when to switch between spike mode and ball mode to progress. Well done!

Submitted

Love the visuals. The music stopped at some point, and the platforming was quite punishing, which made it difficult to finish the game. 

Submitted

Weeee!! hamster mate game!! >.< Loved the game, the spiky ball is god tier hahaha, congrats! <3

Submitted

Cool sounds and visuals, but I keep getting stuck somewhere and can’t progress. I’m not a fan of this kind of genre.

Submitted

This is a really good game, but the music did stop at some point. I really like the music and visuals and it's a clever integration of the theme. However, I did get stuck at some parts and found the controls a bit confusing. Either way, it's a really good game.

Submitted

This is pretty great! For some reason the music stopped after a while in the web version? I was running into a similar issue for my game, setting the AudioStreamPlayer's playback_type to Stream instead of Default seemed to fix it for me. The art is really cute, and the physics are great.
