Not my poor hamsters... though I make a pretty good doctor at twelve little lives saved.
I had no issues at all playing the game. All the inputs were read clearly, with what felt like a little forgiveness too.
I wish there was more game! To be completely honest with you, for 'countdown', I didn't even once look at the countdown because it wouldn't give me any meaningful information. I just put my head down and saved lives.
The paper cutout style endeared me a ton, and Brodie, you did absolutely fantastic on a larger than life score. There was a nice punch to each of the key presses that was well received, and I'd be really excited to see a game like this that ends the time, tells me I did a good job, lets me pick an upgrade, then throws me right back in. :)
