How does your game represent "Power"?
What's stronger than the POWER of LOVE? What generates electricity more efficiently than a giant matrix of hamster wheels? Really though, we took the "hamster in a wheel" generator cliche and ran with it, ending up with a genre mashup of a dating/simulation/deck builder.

Today I learned that I do not have the talent of a hamster matchmaker. Even though I was terrible at finding love, I tried my hardest to meet my quotas. I wished the rebound mechanic worked irl

This game is awesome! Between processing their traits and second guessing myself, the unruly hamsters get hard to keep track of and make it even more fun. Seeing the unveiling of the new names is a great reward and pallet cleanse before jumping back into racking your brain.

Wow... With this masterpiece game full of cuteness and whimsy, I will breed an empire of hamsters and dominate the power industry.

All of the 3d models and animations are really cute!! And the music is so whimsical and charming I love it!! It was so funny seeing all of the hamsters running on their wheels with the groovy music! Really amazing work!! I just want to go visit my cousins and play with their hamsters now 🥺

This game is hilarious. Inbreeding followed by really loud electronic celebratory music got me good. Keeping track of all your hamsters to make sure you don't lose the other half of your planned match in the crowd was fun. Great stuff!

I'm so glad people are feeling the "Wait! Where did that other hamster go!?" frustration. That was one of the first things we talked about wanting to achieve.

It feels so much more like a clever design choice than an oversight, I love it.

Just an absolutely enormous amount of work spent on this game.  The visuals, animations, music, sound effects are so far ahead.  Interesting idea too.  I guess the hamsters are then motivated to spin those wheels.

I seemed to be one match up that didn't score.  It was inside a plain, non-themed box.

Super fancy aesthetic all around, really fun interactions, animations, and sounds. Just all around a very fun game, with a unique idea, and super solid execution! I was not expecting to play hamster matchmaker today but here we are :D

The idea was super fun and the hampter bois and girls were totes adorbz! This game also made me realize my potential as a future matchmaker, it was so much fun watching these guys in cute little dating places! Well done!

Submitted(+2)

lol! This is great! Loved seeing the different dating boxes I purchased. Definitely gave some nintendog nostalgia. Well done!

Developer

Thank you! The Italian restaurant is my favorite!

This game is incredible. It captures a very fun and unique vibe, reminding me of classics like Nintendogs. I'm very impressed that this was made in such a short time frame. Good job!

The way the hamster runs on the wheel, gives kisses, and turns away in disappointment is so cute!

Fantastic!

Where is Ham Fighter II? Release the full game, you lazy devs.

It don't take money. It don't take fame--just a couple hams on a date at the arcade.
