i loved it. This game is perfect
Fun Game!
Enjoyed it! :-)
working on #1 only 8 seconds to go
Awesome game, after hitting too much/s i started getting bugs like 0/s, had to refund all my buildings to reach mars. But I had fun!
stay tune for the next demo!
I lost track of time playing this. Thank you.
lol thank you for playing!
Each building has its own refund cost, if you place 5 roads one after the other and refund them starting from 1st road you placed, you lose money.
I mean you don't lose money if you sell all of them, but my road cost 1024, but selling one of them gives back 32.
It should refund based on the road type only.
Or even better, if you can just buy a road and it stays in your inventory as a puzzle piece.
oh the refund is based on the order of your purchase! 1st road costs 32 and last road costs 1024. I will make next demo tiles become draggable so players dont need to refund them to rearrange!
That makes sense, but the issue will still be there, sometimes you just want to refund a tile, wouldnt it be better if you just got max value refund for each unique tile instead of searching for them?
its not workin
ЭТО ОФИГЕННАЯ ИГРА ПРОСТО ПОИГРАЛ В КАЙФ ВСЕМ СОВЕТУЮ ВСЕМ РЕКОМЕНДУЮ
It would be cool to see this get Steam Deck support!! I would definitely play it on mine, lol
So nice!! I had a lot of fun, waiting for Steam!
What is the point of parking roads?
"so how much do you earn?"
"too much per second."
im ngl corporate buildings need a nerf or smth cus they seem way too strong
Fullscreen won't work for some reason
it won't load. I've tried reinstalling but it just keeps giving me the same black screen :( send help !
it's the glitch! try turning off the browser or use other ones.
So, is it alright? Thx
ohhh its bugged! thanks for sharing!
alright! thanks!!!
Thanks to you too!
Another few observations:
1. The first place's name (do you want to censor those, or?)
2. The upgrade icons stuck around after opening the leaderboard. They can be closed manually, so it's not a major issue.
3. The timer continues running even after winning.
I like your game!
alright！
How is szoneman so much further ahead than me. Def the goat of this game.
Anyway, really fun, lol
Oh he's like a minute and a half faster, I can beat that.
I didn't realize until after I was number 2 on the leaderboard that you can upgrade home.
me also just realising this reading your comment....
surprisingly entertaining!
Really cute and chill little game, I loved it! <3
I’m at like 2k food then all of a sudden I’m in the billions
is this intended?
other than that it’s a really fun game
great to kill a couple of minutes
Yeah it has some bugs currently. Trying to fix them and adding more interesting mechanics ! Thanks for playing !
your welcome
also would it be possible to add more touch friendly controls
I have to use my school iPad to play these games and something as simple as a refund all button would be amazing
so if you place a suburban road next to an upgraded suburban road they'll keep feeding off of each other and double you food per second each second, but the problem is when the food per second gets to high it resets the food supply to 2.7k but to go around this you can delete the upgraded road and place it and upgrade it again before the food per second doesn't get too high so your food supply doesn't reset to 2.7k
fixing it NOW! thanks for the detail !
aw man
Not sure how it happened, but I ended up with an upgrade cost that was 10s of billions in the negative. Pretty sure that wasn't supposed to happen. Great concept, just a little buggy at the moment.
very cute but how do you build above the home building like you show in the second screenshot (which spoilers btw)?
u can upgrade it! Currently you have to restart to get 2 openings for the routes. i will change so that it can be dragged around in the future!
Maybe found a bug. Had an unconnected road next to suburban road, which I removed and placed a park instead. Then the food income text disappeared from the suburban road, and it does not appear to make any income anymore. Removing and replacing it even after building a (working) regular road there, the suburban road no longer makes (or displays) income on that tile.
Sorry suburban roads are so bugged :/ im not good at exponential math.
this game is incredible
also I gladly accept the title of "Mr Big Hamster"
I named it Hamster City in Steam page lol for later release.
I found a bug: if you place a suburban road next to an upgraded suburban road they'll keep feeding off of each other and double you food per second each second.
yeah I will look into it ! thanks! enjoy the bug in the meantime XD
I LOVE this game.... (gimmie your hamster RN 🫵🙂)
Fun little game. I would really like it if there was a visual indicator for upgrades on tiles.
I think I broke the game. I upgraded a suburban road, and suddenly I earned so much it went back and forth between 14 millions and 2 billions in seconds. I think it had a feedback loop with an adjacent suburban road
happened to me, it took me a while to notice whats wrong xD
It may be a bug but the main building cannot upgrade.
This was a fun 35 minute game… It is I would say replayable, and honestly, I think speedruns would be fun.
OMG I LOVE THIS!!!! I'm a huge fan of incremental/idle games and this really scratched that itch. It's such a fully fleshed-out game for a single weekend, and with adorable art too, goodness. Well done! I wanna play this over and over again 🙌

I think you guys just inspired me to explore possibility of speedrun mode in incremental genre.
what mechanic would you love to use as a way to buff the speed? cuz currently it is through a bug.
Maybe an airport that generates it's own hamsters? Could also add some sort of intersection so that hamsters from the airport could go on the same road to home as the regular ones. Would definitely make it so there's more hams around.
You can't beat the original.
edit: I lie to you, just got 2:04.
now it's your turn again
damn thats crazy, anyways
2:12, guys.![]()
Is there a speedrun leaderboard?
gwehehehe i beat you by 4 seconds
I really like the game concept, but it's currently broken, 2 suburban roads is all you need to beat the game.
Any chance for a mute button?
Done!
