the mechanic is amazing and could be turned into a great puzzle game!

Was this done on the Quest 2? I tried playing it on the original Quest and hit some really nasty frame drops.

This was super creative and cute! The tube textures look great and were fun to place <3

If you find some time this weekend, please check out our game “Starship Minis” and leave a comment to let us know what you think! https://itch.io/jam/vr-jam-2021/rate/1145490

Immediately laughed and "aww'd" when I grabbed the hamster for the first time :) Building tunnels is a pretty cool mechanic and could be the basis of a pretty cool concept later on, or probably just a really chill sandbox experience with hamsters!

Quick side note, found myself losing a lot of frames the more time the hamster walked through tunnels :/ but I really enjoyed watching it explore my maze.

Solid work! I imagine the tube functionality wasn't an easy task, but you did it! For some reason though, on Quest, after placing a few tubes the framerate drops considerably. There may be a bug, or the shader/geometry of the tube is too complex.

It's a pretty cool mechanic. Sadly the game did crash on the quest for me.

Great concept! Better than my real hamster

Definitely the only hamster game in the jam! I wish there was more of a small world theme to it though, as the game is just manipulating a regular size hamster in his cage. I liked that you could build out whatever you wanted, though I wish there maybe was a way to move up vertically so that you can build some really tall structures. Maybe also limit the amount of hamsters you can spawn. I just kept dropping hamsters in lol. Wish some polish on the hamster following the tub and the ability to move up to build the tubes it could turn into something rather cool!

Cool concept, nice graphics, controls work well but yeah we need an objective! Cool concept!

Cool concept, could definitely use an objective though. But pretty neat mechanic!
