One would think that two players controlling the same hamster wheel (nice pun by the way) would be unplayable.  This game proves it works, and can be fun!

Though making coordinated jumps was quite difficult, even playing on the same keyboard.  Maybe some more leniency on coordinated inputs, higher jumps, or more clement level design would have helped.

I really liked the music in this game. The controls were a bit confusing, it would've been nice to have an accessible guide while playing. Wasn't able to try the online multiplayer but kudos for implementing it!

I don't think I've ever seen the hamster grabbing and releasing mechanic in any games before, so +1 for originality. The hamsters are very cute and I would imagine that they are very fluffy.
