Ham-Spin's itch.io pageGame's Take on the Theme
A hamster spinning in a hamster ball, fighting off cats trying to get to it.
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
Yes to all of the art. For music, I'm using public domain/free to use/unrestricted/commercial use ones. Will be including attribution in the game.

Thanks for playing! I rated your game earlier on already, the one with the Thai "hello".
Thanks

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! :D
the aesthetic is nice. I like the concept of the game and it came together nicely!
Thank you so much for playing!
A simple but engaging game. I’d love to see more variety in the bosses.
Thank you! Definitely in the pipeline for when I start expanding the game.
Fun game! Love the art
Thank you so much for playing!
gameplay is fun and great art.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
That hit nostalgia in me. It reminds me of Snowy: The Bear adventures. Very well made controls and arts.
Thank you so much! Comments like yours are gems because I get to discover games that I'd never heard of. Snowy: The Bear looks like a game right up my alley!
This game is an absolute joy, I LOVED every minute of it. I always love seeing perfectly synchronous boss design and gameplay, and this game just excels at it. Every element of the design is very meticulously crafted to be as cohesive as possible, which makes for some surprisingly tense fights. That tension contrasts so well with the wacky adorable ridiculous premise of the game, and the very desperate look on the hamster's face as they run for their life inside that ball against the cute kitty cats. There's a staggering variety of bosses here too, all using the skeleton of the gameplay in really thoughtful. I honestly can't sing this entry's praises enough I really loved it
Thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot! It took me a while to get the designs just right, and I am fortunate to have friends who were willing to playtest and give their feedback. This has been a really fun project to work on, and I'm seriously considering expanding it into a full game after the jam. Very happy you enjoyed it!
Very cute and well designed bosses! Starts off easy and gets more and more challenging as you play which is great. I also love the use of theme here haha. Great job!
Thank you very much! I'm compiling a list of natural hamster predators (and there are a lot), like a snake perhaps? XD. Planning to pit the hamster against more different animals.
Very nicely made game, it looks very good and I like how there are extremely clear times when the boss is vulnerable, both when the boss grows claws and smacks the ground, and when their face appears right before they heal. Hurting them with the charge is satisfying, and I like how you bounce off of the wall so when the boss appears in the center, you’re guaranteed to hit them. Good job on the game!
Thank you so much for playing and for your comment! I took inspiration from Astrobot for the vulnerability indication (shiny stars), and I wanted to keep the controls and mechanics simple. Very glad it worked out well and you enjoyed it!
Simple and funny , yet maybe i would add a charge button on keyboard to just use one hand to play without using mouse for charging, Very cool aproach to theme hammster spinning his ball Hahaha
Thank you so much for playing! Actually, there is a hidden charge button on the keyboard haha! The 'C' key can also be used to charge XD.
Fun game, good work! The attack feels very good to use,. Also, nice touch adding coop
Thank you very much! The coop thing came in as a last minute decision. I even wanted to try online coop, but don't have the technical know-how yet. Something I'm definitely considering!
I liked the idea and the game is very fun good job
Thank you, I'm glad you had fun!
I enjoyed the game art, visuals and music. Blending all of those made tom and jerry vibe. Welldone!
Thank you so much! Others have commented similar things (Tom and Jerry vibe). I think it's the public domain music.
Loved the way you reflected the theme! Controls are great. Music is very fitting (though, understandably not original). Thanks! I had fun!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you had fun!
What a cute game you got there, loving the VFX. Grats on submission, and good luck!
I rated and submitted to return the favor of your rate submission of my game below!

Thank you so much for playing!

Really fun game and extremely good choice of music !
I'm so sorry :(. Thanks so much for playing!
Hey I played this game before the rating week start !! Love how it went with last improvments and modifications. I have nothing else to say so far as this game is perfect to play ! I had actually really decent fun playing it, so well done :D
Thank you for playing, and I'm happy you enjoyed it! Looks like we enjoy making games about hitting hands/paws and faces XD.
great work! i played this earlier on in the jam and happy to see where it has gotten for the final product!
Thank you so much! There's still quite a bit more I want to add after the jam. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
