Very fun :) I enjoyed it a lot !

I'm pretty curious about Pico-8, would you mind sharing the code ? I'd like to see some examples, but if you're not ok with that, it's obivously fine ^^

Thanks! And sure thing, I have a GitHub repo of all my PICO-8 games, but here is the source file for this one specifically https://github.com/CaterpillarGames/pico8-games/blob/master/carts/hamster-slam/h...

PICO-8 stores a lot of binary data in .p8 files (if you squint, you can probably tell what they are!), but the __lua__ section is what's relevant. The names of builtin functions are pretty terse, but the wiki has some pretty good documentation https://pico-8.fandom.com/wiki/Pico-8_Wikia

This is a fun little game, especially once you get an idea of how the player inertia works. 

The size of the circle is just the right size, so you generally can't just let the AI take each other out and push out the last hamster. Nice work!

Brings back memories :)

Neat game! I think it could do with more recoil when hitting another ball to make it more challenging

A couple people have had the same thought, so I've uploaded a more bouncy version! There's also a new SUPER BOUNCE option on the pause menu

Pretty fun, especially in 2 players mode ! It looks so simple, but that inertia is impressive and works perfectly. I also have no idea how you manage to make that AI not killing himself all the time, it's really good !

This is fun, reminds me of a Mario Party Mini Game.

I like the look as well, PICO-8 Games tend to look nice and the different hamster textures are a nice touch.

In my opinion the balls could be a bit more bouncy but it's already fun as is.

Thanks! And thanks for the feedback. I've uploaded a more bouncy version, and I agree it does make it more fun! If you're feeling brave, you can also check the pause menu for SUPER BOUNCE
