Cool concept and interpretation of loop! Loved the visuals. I did notice that the jump seemed to be a little low, so maybe make it a little higher, or make it change based on a higher jump if you hold the spacebar for longer. Great idea and gameplay though!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback, definitely working on that for an update.

This is simple but fun (and funny). I like the mix of cute (visuals, music, hamsters, obviously) and the sweary VO. Sounds like Ron Perlman. I enjoyed this one. Collision is a little harsh and I think this would be great if it was a little more zoomed out so teh player has space to see what's coming up. Could be super fun with some different pickups and other obstacles. Maybe some score multipliers that are risky, a temporary armour to smash spikes and things like that. Nice one :)

that hamster should start making commercials with that deep voice xD , cute game though bit hard but has potential 

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I was going for a hard mode because the simplicity of the game but definitely going to update with some difficulty settings.

Cute game! (:

For me it was a little hard to avoid the spikes to be really enjoyable.

Cute game and the voice work whilst unexpected is hilarious.

A little bit of feedback: as a general rule of thumb, hit boxes for hazards such as the spikes should always be a bit smaller than the actual sprite. It felt like I was getting hurt even when I wasn't touching the spikes.

But nit-pick aside good job on the submission

ha ha, I knew we wouldn't be the only ones to think of a rat race when the theme is "loop". 
The game kept me on my toes toes because I wanted to achieve a higher score and hear if the narrator can curse even harder. However, I stopped playing when I realized that the phrases don't depend on the points you've achieved. If you implemented a cursing-system that goes like "the higher the score, the harder the curses" I'd be hooked for a long time :D

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, that an awesome idea for an update!

Addictive gameplay, great interaction, and Motherf**'s voice is awesome! A scoreboard rating would be great!

Super cute runner that fits the theme well! Really difficult, maybe toning down rate of obstacles would do wonders here, but I enjoyed this game.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, Maybe I can update with a difficulty setting, I was going for hard mode to overcome the simplicity.
