Cute platformer! It reminds me of my time as a child watching Hamtaro. Also, is the hamster powered by batteries???

@rex64 Thank you! That was my main inspiration for this game. The hamster is powered by naps, but thought the best way to express it was with a battery lol

Love the audio and graphics, it's definitely giving off some strong Hamtaro vibes! The energy mechanic was an interesting challenge, although there wasn't really any penalty for running out of energy. Adding a timer could make it speed runnable.

Nice job!

Adorable. I wish I had a force nap button in real life.

It's cute how quickly the hamsters fall asleep.
I've completed the last stage.
It was fun.

I played it to the end.
I was surprised when the key flew away in the wind. I thought it was a great idea.
The hamsters were cute.
All in all, it was a very cute game.

I think this is a cute premise for a game! Some of the hitboxes acted a bit strangely, mainly when jumping but overall though it was cute and enjoyable, good job!

The hamster is cute. I like the idea but could not get to the second seed. I ran our of energy very quickly. I took a look at all your assets, there is s a lot of work here that I wish I could get to. Good work.

@elbapotsnugg I played both version and had the same issue with both.

@hijomo Oh no, sorry to hear that! I had some other people run into the same issue. Were you playing on the standalone or the web player?

Cute puzzle platformer. Also this looks exactly as my kid hamster :smile:

Had a lot of fun playing this one! The hamster was so cute and the thought of finding your pet hamster sleeping outside and constantly putting him back in his cage is really funny! Awesome job!

This was cute, and I liked the floaty controls. It might have been nice to show which color key I was carrying, because I tended to forget it as soon as I picked it up. Also having a map or showing the whole level at first would make the game more about planning instead of exploring randomly. But overall this worked well, so great work!
