SOIN

its a little bug

This game has some pretty unique usage of the theme and has interesting mechanics overall. There's so much in this game that I'm going to do a rundown on each category. However, first I'm gonna list some bugs I experienced:... NONE overall I don't think I experienced any bugs either that or they were small so I didn't notice. Two issues that did bother me a little bit is well not being able to play on laptop (but you explained what happened with the optimizing so its fine) and the camera would get stuck on the wall so I was super zoomed in and I couldn't really see where I was going but that was fixed by moving away from the wall.

Enjoyment:
The main topic and probably most important question is did I enjoy the game? Well yes the animations are beautiful as well as the story (not really story I'm just talking about the cool final level), music, and even the title (yes the title). Gameplay could've been spiced up a little more which I guess was the last level but one thing that bummed me out is the fire wasn't chasing me and I don't think you can burn yourself alive. I think I got a pretty good score on every level so my only note for this category is more challenge = more fun (at least for me). 5/5.

Creativity & Theme:
Now while my previous statement regarding this was that this is a unique idea this kind've category in a jam is one that sorta changes over time and that's no different for this jam. Even though in the process of creating my own game I didn't think of spinning chairs doesn't make this a unique idea its more how much did everyone as a whole think of this idea. In the day leading up to playing this masterpiece I did end up playing a lot of spinney chair games which did impact my score to give you a 4/5 stars but again I want to thoroughly say that this could change and I might put it up to a 5. 

Visuals:
As I've already explained the visuals are banger. The beginning cutscene was something I didn't expect out of this game since (don't tell the other games) most other entries just have a giant text box explaining lore. ANYWAYSSSSS I really liked the lingo of business with the Resume slide deck, or Read the fine print though having the real meaning directly below does look a little strange so maybe just have a toggle on the right that says text lingo so you can switch back and forth when you please. Moving onto the actual game this was pretty good all the visuals look solid maybe the ring to get a boost when your pushing could look better but that's just a nick pick not a real request. 5/5.

Audio:
Ok now this is where the game truly excels above all my expectations. The way the music is seamlessly integrated into some sort of voice/alarm/talking is awesome and really shows your music skills. All the SFX are pretty perfect I mean its just sfx lmao. Voice acting was awesome I feel like it would've been cool to actually here people read out the lines that appear when you bump into a coworker but besides that its really good. 5/5.

Seriousness:
Now the main event was this game serious? HELL YEAH the dang building was on FIRE like that was sick I entered that level and was questioning why they were all running then the dang fire appeared (btw I'm pretty sure all my coworkers are dead because like the one thing you don't do is escape a fire THROUGH the ELEVATOR) and like wow. 5/5.

Almost full marks from me!

Ughh one of you.. animal rights activists you make me sick. This Hamster is a paid employee (cough just not very much). thank you for the kind words

Did I do good?

I BEAT IT HOORAY. PEAK RAGE GAME

Yo :D. I’ve been getting recognized more recently and it makes me so happy. I think I did end up playing your game but I can’t remember what it was about. I’ll have to check it out along with your other game for this jam

TY FOR THE MUSIC TIP

Now this is a game that fully sucks you into the noir setting. Graphics are fantastic and in a weird way no matter win or lose I feel like I won (cause Baron is so awful). Super unique take and I'd love to see how you develop as a developer (get it). Nice job :D

Very fun puzzle game with a unique take on the theme. I wish some of the levels orders were changed a bit but overall solid entry. Nice job :D

HOLY CRAP THIS IS THE BEST HORROR GAME. Genuinely full marks, while there were some bugs this was the first horror game where I felt terrified like the twig snapping audio? holy quac. Nice Job :D

Now this was a heist worth remembering. It's very rare to have a game with good comedy for a jam but you managed to achieve that here. I think it would be cool after the jam to see more scenarios or options where they lead you down a path but that path is eventually a dead end. Nice game :D

Theres so much aesthetics and art but on closer inspection feels a little hollow. The art is amazing so big props to them, but I would've liked to see more pixel perfect art I hate mixels with a passion. The gameplay is kind've lacking as you just wonder around mazes then fight some enemies with purple objects. It needs juice and something else that I can't put my finger on. I'm only this harsh because with so many people working on a game I expected a little more polish. Nice Job tho :D

After building a puzzle game about hamsters myself I thought I was qualified to beat this game but nope I love the hampsta with the sunglasses and the dialougue and I managed to get to level 3 but sadly I'm incapable of getting farther I'm just confused lol. Nice job :D

Really fun game I like going super fast orbiting the core lol. Nice job :D

Omg might be the next celeste movement was so peak I do wish it was a slow build up of harder areas instead of hard mixed with easy tho 10/10

HamsterWorks by Cristian M., TheWaffi

The game is awesome art, story, mechanics but the rotary phone kinda feels forced in here to make it a game about spinning if you know what I mean. Nice Job tho :D

First off the artstyle is amazing very good looking game. Second yeah online multiplayer was not it :( I had no one to play with at the moment so I ended up just doing backflips off the tallest slide lmao. Nice Job and I wish to see more of your games :D

Very awesome cute hamster game. Could've been cool if the owner repeatedly tried to check on you, but I escaped pretty fast so idk. Love the art, music, and style. Nice Job :D

I was playing this game going o thats good art usually that means less time on variety. O thats a bit more than I thought. OMG there was so much variety and thats impressive with the constraint. and it was awesome you guys did really good. Overall I dont think I had any bugs or bad experiences. Nice job :D

The death is very harsh making you reset manually all the way back. Definitely could use juice like other comments said but all around not bad. Nice job :D

Very good I could see this becoming a real commercial game! Loved the artstyle the main menu being a tv was so creative and awesome! I made a little over 4million. Nice job :D

I loved the art the story the mandarin everything was awesome! What a hidden jem this is I'll have to share it around! Nice Job :D I'll love to see more in the future!

Juice wouldve added a lot to this game but overall pretty good. I agree with other comments where once and enemy is on you you cant really get away. Nice job :D

I LOVE THIS GAME EVERYTHING IS PERFECT. 5/5

Overall pretty good game. Jumpscare got me once but one issue I had was the same curses appearing so maybe rig it a little bit. Nice Jobn :D

I spent like 20 mins trying to get a bird so I got frustrated after already getting like three of the four lit up and just now realized I could stop the wheel wherever I want. I like the art style some of the collisions and character controllers could be polished tho. good art nice job :D

I was quite confused at the beginning of the game due to there being a lot to explain as well as me not knowing anything about ice skating. Definitely a super creative idea and like other people have said it would be sick to see the different tricks like a... triple toe touch? how do you touch your toes three times? However, I do understand thee was a time constraint and this is pretty good for one person. Nice job :D

Very goood game I have no complaints

Very goood game I have no complaints

Very creative concept and I absolutely adsore the art. Just a little more polish/juice and this would be awesome. Also the food was a bit hard to see. Pretty solid overall!!!

HOLY CRAP WE HAD THE SAME IDEA!

The controls were pretty confusing but once I got it I was on a roll! I wish I could earn money a little faster tho (might be that I suck). Really liked the art on this Earth looked juicy! :D

I don't know what this guy is complaining about he has the easiest job ever! Really good art, voice acting., and story. Solid all around. Nice job on the creative idea

I read his dialogue in the heath ledger joker voice Amazing.... Overall art design is awesome however I wish some of the mixels that popo up in the head turn were cleaned up. Awesome story I think it would be cool if a secret happened if you write mom at the beginning.
