How does the game fit the theme?
When you're a tiny hamster, every stranger is a potential danger. Not all of them... But you have to rely on your natural survival instinct.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Sound effects are from pixabay stock + a couple shaders from godotshaders.

I really like the idea! You got me with the hiding spot from the “gust of wind” haha
The music, SFX, and the art itself add so much to the experience
Whenever I start wondering if I should keep playtesting games for jams because it takes up so much of my time, I come across gems like your game
Very cute! I love the artstyle, the animation and drawings are incredibly polished for just 1 week. The gameplay is simple but effective, I tend to be a jumpy person and got jump-scared a few times by the sudden threats lol. Great job!
Thank you so very much! ♡
And glad to hear the jumpscares worked XD I intended those to be rather mild, but still they should provide the true hamster experience, amiright? XD
Such a cute little hamster — I went down a few times at the end, but I finally beat it XD
Haha, nice! Thanks for playing!
I had a lot of fun with this! The ways the hamster dies are so hilarious and creative.
Glad you enjoyed it! ♡♡♡
Simple concept and gameplay but very polished experience ! I felt bad for the hamster when hiding
Thank you!
I was genuinely laughing when playing this, really good job
Thank you, glad you enjoyed! ♡
This was very enjoyable. The hamster looks super adorable, the running looked really good, death screen made me laugh, and I immediately wanted to go back for another run.
Thank you! ♡
I GOT HAM'D ToT!! Really cute! I laughed at so many things from the running animation to.. well.. a certain unexpected being lol. Great game!!
Thank you! XD Glad you enjoyed!
This is both incredibly cute and also darkly funny when you actually die. Definitely my winner so far for best art, the music was wonderful too. The gameplay was obviously very simple but on theme and worked well. Hope you get more ratings, can't believe I'm only the 5th one! Awesome work!
Omg, thank you so very much for such kind words! We both are really happy to hear that ♡
I really became hamster very quickly - "what the fuck is that?" Oh god no what is happening" - such a good mix of adorable and tense, I am in love with the scurry. One of my favourite games of this jam!
Glad to hear we managed to make an immersive experience x) Thank you very much!
Great simple game.
The bomb made me laugh a lot, like, wtf xD A BOMB?
Pretty cool animations, loved the hamche...
I really enjoyed playing it, congrats!
Hahaha it was supposed to be a meteor but I guess it's hard to tell with how fast it happens XD
Thanks! Loved your game
This is so charming! Look at them go!
The leaf blower really got me by surprise (so did the last threat lmao). I really want to see all "got ham" animations now!
Excellent entry!
Thank you, glad you enjoy the ham so far XD
The way the hamsters feet moved so fast cracked me up
Yeah, Der's animations are amazing XD
