How does the game fit the theme?
The owners think that nothing could go wrong getting a hamster as a pet, but the player must prove them wrong

I followed some online code tutorials and some of the assets were from Adobe stock.

I had a blast, very chill game going around as a cute hamster trying to die, the tutorial level is great help me understand the mechanics and objective of the game, just the final level a bit confusing with the tubes very easy to get lost and the wall jump a bit hard to navigate around the tubes sometimes.

I love this game it is really good and a little hard and that is fun for me

Tough for me to play :( Sad, maybe deaths should be more comedic. Doing actual ways a hamster could die is a bit touchy

A bit hard to play for me, probably because I've never had a hamster :) but nice idea!

Amusing idea. Fit the theme. Maybe controls could be a bit more pleasant.

Love the ball level!  Need more of that.  Tubes were cool too.  Great game, hoping to see more of it.

Pretty polished entry with adorable visuals and fun concept) Due to my skill issue I had hard time wall-jumping, but this challenge helped me enjoy the game even more) Great job!

Thank you! I tried to keep most of the levels (besides the last one) pretty easy and put the challenges in stars for skilled players, but its hard to tell how easy or difficult a level is when you made the level. I'm glad that you enjoyed it though!

Very fun and cool animations. Maybe a little too

 hard to get stars.

Developer

Yeah I intended the stars to be an optional challenge for skilled players in order to  give the game some replayability, but it might have been a bit much to expect people to learn the more advanced movement for a game jam game.

I don't know how I feel about this game but it definitely gave me some hamster vibes.

Also best owner sound

Why hamster must die? He's so cute when he walks waddling his arms around. The enemy is a hand that grabs you. Normally you'd think while playing most games that enemy = bad and the hamster probably feels the same way. Just trying to escape and explore the world but this silly hand keeps putting me back! but in reality that hand was probably a caring owner who loved his fluffy hamster and wanted to keep him safe. This game hits hard. Amazing work!
