How does the game fit the theme?
The hamsters fight over a cookie! And it features a high-risk, high-reward cookie buff mechanic, turning you into a glass cannon.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Cute little game which is quite challenging with the controls, especially when moving with WASD aiming with the mouse and using skills.
Good job
Really cool hamster-themed battle royale! I really liked the variety of skills and how challenging the AIs are. I must say that the homing deflection skill can be pretty overpowered :D
Cool little battle royale! I had a similar concept with 4 players fighting for the biscuit, but went multiplayer instead of programming the AI.
Great job, they felt like human players!
The shield timing was pretty tough, and the shockwave attack was a toss up, so I stayed at range alternating shoot and dash.
Pretty good, the AI is cool too, just that the controls are a bit off, it's hard to move while i have my other hand trying to use the skill.
Pretty cool game, nice visuals, the gameplay is very challenging, the AI is pretty good as well. The power controls are a bit awkward to use, would be nice if it was other keys, like 1,2,3. Of course the best option would be to allow to change controls, but that would be to much to ask for a jam game.
Now, I do not want offend, but the ground pound attack icon does resemble a
ballsack, which is pretty funny, ngl.Overall, pretty good game, could be a pretty cool multiplayer game as well, can see playing with some friends. Has potential!
Thanks for playing! I'm already working on the multiplayer, and I had a lot of fun making that icon haha
The visuals is pretty cute, yet the gameplay is SOLID! Love how the fight mechanism is pretty solid with the attack, parry and dash. Great game!
Now that was a fun game! I had to play it until I could win! Great design and a lot of fun!
Cute and challenging. Had fun with it. Good job!
The feeling of double-parrying back your opponents parried missile is peak. I was never able to scrap in CQC, so I found that the best way to survive was just to hang back and let them pummel each other for a while. Kind of funny how often they would body slam each other out of the round. It often led to the cookie being completely out of play for a while. I'm curious what happens if both players spend their last life in such a scenario.
I loved this one. Stupid cute. Fun once I realized how to use the moves.
Really cool and challenging game, I lost many times but the game is really involving, so I kept trying until I finally managed my victory :D. Great job in here. These hamsters are real menacing!
Thank you so much for playing, I’m really glad you kept trying until you won!
The game is pretty cute and actually skill intensive. The AI is also actually pretty good at murdering me, I'm not so good at this XD.
The QER ability scheme is kinda odd for me also (maybe have the option to make them 123?)
That’s fair, I did consider putting them on 1-2-3 and Shift too, I should’ve left it as an option. Thanks a lot for playing!
The Game Was Really Fun To Play , Clever Attack Mechanics , The Movements Felt Super Responsive < Enemy Ai Was Truly Fascinating , Great Work
I enjoyed this game more than I anticipated.
i got absolutely destroyed my first game. and then i got the hand of parrying and leading my shots.
great art and simple but very enjoyable gameplay loop.
great job!
Fun and polished game. Congrats !
Great game and very cute, loved the concept! Great work!
Great simple concept with cute visuals. Really good job!
This was fun! Interesting strategy with your different abilities and solid enemy AI. A fair bit of depth to the combat!
this is just lovelyyy. Fire music fire art fire sfx amd did I just read this is a solo game? My main problems is that 1- all mouse have the same skills, I understand for a jam setting this was probably necessary but Id love each one having at least 1 unique thing. also the fact that the “this mouse is holding the cookie: mechanic is completely useless since it all comes down to who lasts, maybe holding the cookie giving some kind of buff (or maybe activating that unique skill we just talked about) would give it a purpose. overall really enjoyable and goodjob! btw goddang your bots are good
About all the hamsters having the same skill, that’s a great idea and I’ll definitely keep it in mind. But the goal next is to make it multiplayer, so I’ll think about the possibilities. And you're right about the cookien, that was a big mistake. It makes you deal 2 damage, sets your current and max HP to 2, and makes you slower. I think it would have been better if I had kept the 1-hit kill/die mechanic, especially since it fit better the jam theme.
Thank you so much for the feedback and for playing!
Very lovely game with great art and animation! Love how the opposing enemies move, it feels very realistic. Well done!!
