Interesting take on “More is Less”. Simple and addictive. I love character’s cheeks getting bigger! My best score is just shy 790.

How long was your dev time?
3 hours for core mechanic, but way too many hours to fix bugs and polish

I have an idea in the pipeline that would cause short stun. Look out for an update. I am glad you like the game.

Thanks for the feedback, I have been struggling to find specific information on getting the right settings for screen display in HTML, there is a lot of information out there, but not all of it is relevant or best practice, I look into the terms that you mention. I already got the next version using "Scale With Screen Size", but not looked at Canvas Scalar component yet, so thank you for that tip.
I enjoyed your review on twitch, you are right in most of your commentary. The only thing you had not picked up on was that this is the first game that I have developed for a game jam, I am new to Game Development. Given a three-hour limit, I focus on getting things to work, I was also still learning a lot about the unity structure and tools. The sound was just single munch by me but took a long time to get right, mainly because I was learning how to do sound in Unity, which caused me some issues before figuring out how it works. I choose not to add music because by then I was way over the three-hour mark. I do like comments about nuts dropping in, I think will work that in with the other updates I have ready to go after the Trijam voting period enmds5. I also need to understand how unity rescales, as I see that game did not display correctly in your browser. Thanks very much for the feedback.
yeah man, I'm a lot more easy going TriJam entries and especially first time jammers. Congratulations on finishing a game, its harder than people think.
For the Unity UI scaling stuff check out my settings in this screen shot. You need to have your canvas scale with screen size and most likely have it match height rather than width (because almost all monitors are in a landscape resolution).
Edit: I'm pretty sure I have attached a screen shot but its not showing up yet.
Edit2: let's do this then

I have that planned in an update to have risk and reward factors. So like a super nut to give a speed boost and a pit-like trap that will momentarily stun the hamster. I'm glad you like the game, thank you for the feedback.
The wonky controls stem from an issue that I am still learning about. The game played at a different speed in Unity game player than when I uploaded it to Itch.io. I need to understand when and where to use Update/FixedUpdate. The other was an un-intentional control issue that I left in because it was an interesting game mechanic, that is the hamster will move ~1.7 when moving diagonally (which you need to do if you want a high score close to 1000). Thanks for the feedback.
