A friend and I made a short puzzle game where you transport hamsters by placing and rotating hamster tubes.

Wow, I'm glad I came back to check this one out. Great art and great job with level design! At level 3 I was like hmm I wonder if they thought about this one thing happening and if it would be buggy, and in level 4 that came up as an intended obstacle of the puzzle! Idk if you designed with that player experience in mind, but it felt great.
What an awesome, charming, cute game. A relaxing and therapeutic hamster game is absolutely what I'd needed after a long, tiresome week... Great job!
P.S. i noticed this minor bug where a hamster would randomly take the wrong direction when in a 3-way or 4-way connection tube. It doesn't ruin anything it all, but I thought it was worth a mention
Very cute game.
You did a great job with the art style and animating the movement through the pipes.
Very impressed by the number of levels and the quality. It takes a lot of time to layout and test puzzle levels and they were great.
My only note would be to make the music loop so that you aren’t left to play in silence when the song ends.
Awesome job!
The hamster animations are so cute, I was immediately attached to these lil guys.
And the music was sooo good! Groovy and chill, made me want to keep the game open longer to keep listening to it.
I could easily see myself playing 100 levels of this game. It would also work super well on mobile! Like a little something casual to play on the bus or subway on the way to work.
Great submission, congrats!
The hamsters are super cute! I liked how some of the puzzles required you to prevent collisions between hamsters.
Loved the game.
The music was great
The art style was really pleasing and fun
The game mechanic of hamsters going into tubes to their other home is a good take of theme
The difficulty seemed to spike at random intervals I found all level easy except for level 3 and level 8
Wish there was a reset button to reset the tubes and try again (specifically for level 8)
Good Game!
Finished all the levels.
Thanks for playing, appreciate the feedback!
Also yeah the level difficulty is all over the place, I'd like to improve that if we were to continue working on the game (ironically I did have a bit of a hard time with level 8 despite being the one who created the level in the first place, lol).
Did this not get marked as published? It looks like you submitted in time but there’s no way to play the game. Seems cool from the screenshots so I’d be interested in trying it.
Hello! We finally put out a build, we had a bunch of bugs we needed to fix. Feel free to give it a try now!
Just gave it a go and had a good time! Level 8 was definitely a challenge as mentioned elsewhere. The art was great and the music was really well done. I especially appreciate that you put in multiple music tracks which is quite hard to do under such a limited time frame (or it was for me at least). Good usage of the theme and an interesting puzzle game. Great job by the team.
