This is super cute! I love these kind of games. The path finding of the hamsters can use some work.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed! Yeah, I agree. I'll try to fix after the jam.
I love these kind of games. The art style is great! I had an issue with hamsters getting stuck in wheels but that's probably because I put them too close together. Great work! I'd play this again if the store is expanded! If an auto-feeder could be unlocked I'd think about running this in a browser tab as an idle game.
Thank you! I was originally planning to have upgrade paths, so maybe I can add the auto-feeder after the jam.
This could be played as an idle game, very cool!
Really funny game idea :D
Love the idea of generating power with hamsters. Maybe it's a serious business in the future. Time to buy a hamster
The only critic I have, is the last objective. Is it even possible to reach enough points for a second charging station? :D
Thank you! I ran out of time so I couldn't implement adding more charging ports, so it's not meant to be obtainable. Maybe I'll update after the jam.
Super cute, Just a very cozy game. For once in my life I finally had a hamster empire. Dream come true.
Thank you, glad I could make your dream come true!
Absoultely adorable!
Thanks! That's what I was going for :)
Ok the artstyle is adorable! The game idea too.
The pathfinding is a little but frustrating but you know that already. We all suffer from the time limit but I wished I can resize the room a little bit for money x)
But overall it was a nice and sweet experience!! ♥
Thank you for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed playing!
Great!! The hamster really got stuck, but they are hamsters after all... hehehe
As a suggestion, i think it would be great if it had a speed up button
Thank you! Yes, these hamsters are not the brightest.
That's a good idea! I'll see if I can add after the jam.
Loved it, some time hamsters got stuck but you had a fix for that so you can move thing
Thank you for playing! Yeah, next time I think I will try a different approach to pathfinding.
the art is fantastic! wow great job! the hamsters are super adorable! i gotta know what you use for your dialog, it was nice, simple and clean. otherwise great job im hitting that follow button, i can't wait for more projects from you
Thank you so much! The dialog box is a simpler version of this tutorial. I hardcoded the text instead of using a json file.
oh you gotta teach me how you did that! I followed this tutorial awhile back and I hated the json part. Exporting that was a nightmare and nothing I did work. I didn't know there was a text base solution...wait I might have an idea as to how you did it 🤔
Sure thing! Yeah, json was overkill for this project, so I made it easier for myself. Here's a link to my DialogBox script.
Thanks a ton for posting this! Your the MVP 😭
This was really fun and cute.
Sometimes the hamsters got stuck trying to walk in a straight line through the wheels. I needed to move the wheels so they could pass.
Thank you! Yeah, I wasn't able to get pathfinding to work perfectly in the end. Glad you still enjoyed playing!
Very fun game! Yada, yada, yada! 🙂 Very cute and I love the art! 💕
Thank you! I am still learning pixel art, so glad you like it!
You did a fantastic job! 🙂
I quite enjoyed the depressed boss hamster
These hamsters are so cute! The graphics on this were perfection. why is the extra charging port so expensive though? I was making tons of extra energy, but the phones would not come fast enough. I would love to see if you continue developing this after the jam, it brings a lot of joy :)
Thank you for playing! So...that's because I didn't have time to implement adding extra charging ports lol. Sorry about that. I will see if I can fix that after the jam!
The game is absolutely adorable, love them hamsters!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
