### 4/5 — Very difficulty and fun game

*2022-05-02*

I barely made it lol, physics can be fun and annoy at times, rocket mushroom level is the best level

Art is pretty cute and good

Its pretty clean bugs wise but I encountered one glitch 

Thats it

### 3/5 — Good but not good enough

*2022-02-16*

In this game you basically race with two hamster wheels that are nailed together with a piece of wood. And that’s all you do so it’s a waste of time. This game dose have great music and great pictures that it just makes you feel happy. This is just so hard that it seems to all most impossible to get 3 stars and that’s the best score that you can get. This game would be more fun if it had more things to do. Senses all you can do is just race.  I hope you like this game more than me because I don’t play this because it just is boring to me. This game is good but not good enough.

### 3/5 — RNGfest

I personally really like this game, I am a large fan of hamsters especially because I had 2 hamsters who passed away within 24 hours. This game makes me happy because I know they are still with me :)

The controls are hard to figure out, the levels are too few and too hard... But somehow I'm still playing it...

New Review: Okay I'm done playing it now XD
