This was hilarious. Points for the title, cause that’s a fantastic title. I ran the game until the wheel froze.

Apart from haha funny hamster running, there was an immense lack of actual gameplay, even when looking into clicker games. Usually you want to at least have the player be able to do something, be that by adding little side games to interact with, or having your currency go up so fast that they are constantly buying upgrades. This one felt a little slow in comparison sadly, even though I did find the upgrades funny, and the wheel speeding up also equally goofy.

Developer

Appreciate the feedback on the lack of things to do, thanks for playing!

Something about this game... I keep coming back. I think... I love it? I don't understand why it captivates me so much, something about the photorealistic background and the seizure inducing speed of the wheel, the hamster moving at hyper speed... Is this game some sort of state sponsored mind control psyop designed to implant images in my head? And I like it? And makes me recommend it to everyone? Please help me understand.

Glad to hear the experiment is working :)

this is delightful. i love the use of just flat pngs for the graphics. it is ultimately just a pretty generic clicker game but there is something really funny about just making a hamster run really fast with sneakers and technology, i had a good time with it EDIT: left it running and just unlocked BUTTER, gotta add a few points for that 

Developer

Appreciate the feedback, and LOVE your jam game btw. Thanks for playing our's!

Do you imply that Sisyphus is a hamster? :D

Nice clicker! Although at some point math breaks and numbers increase faster than I manage to upgrade stuff :) Also using math notation could make it a bit more readable

Developer

Your game is an even better clicker! Real recognize real haha

Rat go nyoooom!! was fun for a while but the waiting got longer and longer. clicking to boost could have been nice!

Developer

Appreciate the feedback, thanks for playing!

Idk xD Would've been cool to have something to do, like manually accelerate the wheel or something. Cute detail to give the hamster the accessories you buy lol

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback, but the hamster had to bear this burden by himself. Thanks for playing!
