Hamster's Nightmare by infinitestatemachine

[raw]
made by infinitestatemachine for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

Controls Keyboard: - WADS for movement - Spacebar for dash attack

Gamepad (preferred method of play): - Left analog for movement - Hopefully any of the face buttons should trigger the dash attack

Try to survive as long as you can in the constantly retracting cat loop of doom. Thanks for trying the game. Much love to everyone!

I made it until there was less than ten cats! At first I didn't understood that I could dash into the cats, maybe you could add some kind of instructions in the game?

Overall all, good job, the theme is here, and controls are great. The music is simple but it works well.

By the way, you really should give your game a proper name!

Oops I forgot to name the game haha!

I would have liked to add instructions to the game itself but unfortunately I ran out of time. Thanks very much for taking a look @chocolat-endive !

That was nice XD its a bit hard to control with kb and mouse, but it was exactly what a hamster could dream of^^

Thought I had secured myself a safe location in the middle of some boxes, I died seconds later. The camera does start shaking if you stand still, or is that the mouse shaking haha. Could possibly add power-ups to add make it worth while not just standing still until a cat comes near. Good job, and it has casts so thats a plus for me :D

That was hilarious! And what a beat! 🥁 I too failed to understand that I could and should dash into the cats rather than avoid them but after I read the comments and understood that, I had a lot of fun! A cooldown indication would have been nice. 😅 I played for a while and never managed to fully beat it as it got really hard with a tiny circle and boxes flying around, but I liked it a lot!

@ava-skoog heh the game is actually impossible to beat. At best you can just survive the cat ring until it's very small :D
