The art reminds me of duck life and I love that game. I really liked the gameplay as well it had a lot of different aspects to it and I liked the idea of a bunch of hamsters teaming up in a mech. It was hard to shoot effectively but it fitted with the loops theme. Also, if you use webgl, you don\u2019t have to select a fullscreen button on itch.io, it already has one.

This is a really cool idea, with really nice art and visuals. I think this game suffers from a lack of control, which is really important for a Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime style game of micromanaging a vehicle.  \nThe momentum of the wheels that keep the gun\/shield moving past where you want them combined with the relatively tiny ship visuals make it very hard to be precise. Compared the LiaDS, the ship takes up a small fraction of the screen and is no easy to quickly click on. I would prefer to see separate hamsters for each direction maybe, or a brake system to stop moving parts immediately. This would be a super cool 'world' to explore and I would love to see a more polished version with more added on.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"pee-thief","author_uid":"1202587","time":"2020-10-27T04:34:42Z","epoch":1603773282,"modified":1603773282,"text":"the hamsters are really cute!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"zaibakk","author_uid":"1022936","time":"2020-10-27T15:29:30Z","epoch":1603812570,"modified":1603812570,"text":"That was cute!

OMG THOSE HAMSTERS SO CUTE. The title screen hamsters falling out of the sky, CUTE; the little fluffers rolling in their wheels, CUTE; the hamsters all having unique stats, CUTE. It's CUTE.\n\nThe game mechanics are clever and are bloody hard to get right, but I always felt like it was my own fault mostly. I couldn't work out what the big knife thing did though and the spaceships AI was too clever! NOT FAIR!\n\nCute game is cute. (also good game is good).
