TL;DR I really enjoyed it !

Detailed thoughts :

At first I was a bit confused why I could pick up the coin but not the other objects, then i saw the coin counter and it made sense. I really struggled on Cookie, especially when the sound attacks are all close to the ground, it felt unavoidable and unfair. Then I persevered and I realized, like in good old gameboy games, that you definitely could avoid it if you saw it coming and moved exactly the right way !

Then came Cream, which was really fun ! My only small gripe is the items were sometimes so fast and grouped together that you were forced to take damage, but it happened quite rarely so that's okay. I liked the chaos ! The fact it sped up at mid-life took me by surprise (even though since Cookie also had a change at mid-life I could have seen it coming) and killed me a fair few times.

After many many tries, I finally managed to beat the game and it felt great !

I loved the sprites and the cuteness of the characters. The music was cool, engaging and not repetitive, which is a big plus when you're dying in a loop !

Great job, I had a great time ! :)

I think the hamster looks really cute haha, I like the gameplay variation and the aletority of the game mechanics to make each run different :D nice job with the game!

Thank you! The playable hamster's sprites were the first thing we did, while the one in the credits was the very last one. 

The randomness in the attacks is definitely a big part of the fight, I feel it is an approach easy enough to implement, although sometimes brings some bugs.

I thought the game was fun as hell and the boss fight with cream was pretty challenging! Well done with this submission!

I really liked the concept of a game that is an extended boss fight. Leaves a lot of room for creativity while leaving the scope small. Perfect for a game jam. Will definitely remember this for the next time. 

Really fun gameplay and I didn't expect the additional round after defeating Cookie.

Thank you, I had been wanting to make a little boss fight sequence for a while, and I figured this was the perfect opportunity, even if I didn't have the time to polish it as much as I would've liked.

Thank you so much for playing, and for making it to the fight against Cream!
