A downloadable hampter for Windows, macOS, and Linux

UPDATE: We made a fixed up post-jam version with tighter controls and difficulty balancing. In addition retrying has been made more quick, and a new hard mode toggle has been added for the enthusiasts.

--- 

Experience the life of a hamster on a wheel and see the hidden cosmos the little rodent sees. How far can you run before getting tired?

Avoid obstacles and collect power-ups and avoid falling off into the void. Make sure to master your drift boosts to make it all the way to the end (yes there is one). The game is challenging but can be mastered.

Controls with keyboard (arrow keys and space) or with a controller if Godot recognizes it (left stick to steer, bumpers or bottom/A button to drift).

Made for the Godot Wild Jam 84 together with Nacchan who did all the sound and music, as well as a lot of the artwork.

From the title screen, the way it seamlessly transitions from the hamster wheel scene into the race screen is so beautiful and well done…

The racing part was much slipperier than I expected, so at first I really struggled, but once I got used to it, I was able to control it and had a lot of fun, meow～ (=^･ω･^=)
