### 4/5 — Good game

*2019-12-18, version 1.2*

Good game

### 4/5 — Oozing With Quality

*2019-08-03*

Very simplistic gameplay but the character animation is something you just don’t see every day in a mobile game. Kind of wish there was more variety to the gameplay, but it’s very obvious that lot of love went into the presentation.

### 4/5 — Just started, but missing at least one thing

*2019-08-03*

Seems like a fun game, having just started. It seems, however, that there is no way to sync between devices. This definitely brings it down a star.

### 5/5 — 🐹🐹🐹

*2019-08-02*

I waited so long to play this game! Now the time has come!

### 5/5 — 🐹💕🥊✨

*2019-08-01*

Perfect combo of awesome fighting moves and cute hamsters 10/10 would recommend

### 5/5 — Super fun and addictive

*2019-08-01*

Played this game at E3 back in 2017 and have been waiting for release.  It’s been worth the wait.  Visuals, gameplay, and aesthetic is top notch.

### 5/5 — Hamtastic!

*2019-08-01, version 1.0*

Love this game and the developers!

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2019-08-01*

I found this game’s demo at MagFest a couple of years ago and got on the mailing list. This is awesome!! I love the mechanics and how it’s fighting hamster 🤷‍♀️ hopefully there will be expansions in the future.

### 5/5 — The way all games should be

*2019-08-01, version 1.0*

No micro-transactions or other freemium rubbish, just a really great game with a fun story.

### 5/5 — I’ve been waiting a long time.

*2019-08-01, version 1.0*

I’ve been following this game for a long while. It is a lot of fun and is worth parting a few pennies to get. You will not regret this purchase. Plus the game is also available on steam and Nintendo switch. Buy this game Now and go wish list it on other platforms, this really helps the developers of this wonderful game. Everyone needs to know about the Kung fu hamester!

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2019-08-03, version 1.0*

Can’t play second level, crashes on loading screen every time.

### 2/5 — Love the game

*2019-08-26*

The game is an awesome little game. However it has a problem with the mini games where you doge bombs when you need to swipe twice the game cannot keep up with how fast a hand can move I gave it two stars because of the control.

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing

*2019-08-05*

I was able to get through the walk though just fine, but when I got to the first level it keeps crashing no matter what I do. I’ve reset my iPod, updated the game, closed it and reopened it, but it still crashes every time!

**Developer response:** So sorry for the trouble! If you don't mind emailing us at feedback[at]musegames[dot]com with your iPod model and iOS version, that would be incredible. And we'll help you look at the crash problem asap. Thanks so much and sorry again for the crash and frustration.

### 2/5 — Can’t make it passed the stage after tutorial....

*2019-08-05*

I have an IPod touch Gen 7 and I only played through the first level. I like the game Mechanics I just can’t get to see the games full potential. All graphics and video resolution is on low but all I get is crashing in the loading screen. Please fix or give me my refund.

**Developer response:** So sorry for the trouble! If you don't mind emailing us at feedback[at]musegames[dot]com with iOS version, that would be super helpful for us. And we'll help you look at the crash issue asap. We'll be sure to take care of you. Thanks so much and sorry again for the frustration.

### 2/5 — Nice Idea, lacking on execution : (

*2019-08-05*

I love the idea of this game, brawling action with a cute hamster, rhythm, strategy etc. It is also cheap, no ads, and doesn't beg for your money. However this game feels like an under polished student project. The game is loaded with static imagery, story is told through unanimated frames with no text or audio, but the visual story telling is poor enough that I couldn't tell what it was trying to depict, so they feel like they're wasting my time.

The music and sound design are uninspired, and the sfx gets repetitive fast.

Clickable UI elements line up with phone buttons, and swipes are frequently read by my phone as gestures to minimize the app, so just interacting with menus is frustrating.

The biggest killer for me is the lack of feedback for my actions. There were many times where I thought I was swiping to counter an attack, but the game didn't register it, and provided no feedback to tell me it was even receiving my input. Sometimes I would swipe up to 3 times during the generous telegraph frames, and it would never register.

I write this review because I care enough about this game to be disappointed by it, which is far more than most games these days, but I just can't recommend it as is.

**Developer response:** Hi Fatalfencer, thanks a ton for your feedback! for the lack of feedback issue, I'm wondering if it would be possible for you to email us at feedback[at]musegames[dot]com with a brief video recording of what you're experiencing (ex. when you're swiping on the enemies). That would be super helpful, and we'll investigate the issue asap. I know it's a hassle, but it'll definitely help us improve the game. Thanks so much again for taking the time to play and give us your feedback. Really appreciate it!

### 3/5 — Logging me out

*2019-08-06*

I’ve only played the first level and so far it’s pretty cool. But when I try to play the second level it logs me out. So I deleted the game twice and each time it does the same thing. If you can please see if you could fix it. Thank you very much.

**Developer response:** So sorry for the trouble! If you don't mind emailing us at feedback[at]musegames[dot]com with your iPod model and iOS version, that would be incredible. And we'll help you look at the crash problem asap. Thanks so much and sorry again for the crash and frustration.

### 3/5 — Crashing

*2019-08-04*

The game looks fun and looks like it has good reviews but I can’t even make it half way through the tutorial with out it crashing every time

**Developer response:** So sorry for the trouble! If you don't mind emailing us at feedback[at]musegames[dot]com with your device model, we'll try to take a look and help you asap.

### 3/5 — My Phone doesn’t tap or swipe.

*2019-08-03*

I don’t know if it’s my game play or my phone. At times it doesn’t keep up with my responses. You think you’re trying to swipe or punching but by the time you do it’s too late! I’m only on the second level (and I am enjoying it).

**Developer response:** Hi Shovenit, sorry for the trouble! If you don't mind emailing us at feedback[at]musegames[dot]com, we'd love to help you take a look at the issue. Thanks so much for supporting us!

### 3/5 — Keeps crashing

*2019-08-03*

I got to the tutorial and the game crashed, after trying to play the game again it keeps crashing and won’t let me play.

**Developer response:** Hi BlueBerry, really sorry for the crashing problem! If you don't mind emailing us at feedback[at]musegames[dot]com, we'll help you take a look at the issue asap. Thanks a ton for supporting us, and sorry again for the trouble!

### 3/5 — It is good, but

*2019-08-02*

Every time I try to get in, it crashes after one level or less. The gameplay is still fun, though

**Developer response:** Oh no! Can I have you send us an email at feedback(at)musegames(dot)com ? We'll see if we can solve those crashes!

### 5/5 — Adorable and worth the money

*2019-12-28*

This game is incredibly cute. The only problem I’ve had is that every once and awhile it will unexpectedly crash. Otherwise , this game is awesome!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2019-10-27*

Very entertaining game. Definitely worth the money. Great animations and quite fun to play. I like games I can play in a quick session like this. 

Deleted my original review about bad controls.

Response to developer: super embarrassing but this was all me. I didn’t realize that you had to swipe inside the circle. I thought it was just a direction notification and you could swipe anywhere on the screen. Nothing to look into just my ignorance lol.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you're having trouble with the swiping! We'll look into this issue and see if we can get it fixed. Thanks so much for reporting the problem to us!

*2019-08-04*

Waited a long time for this game and it was completely worth it! A fun game with VERY cute graphics!

I love rodents and feel they are so underrated, thank you Pimm for being a hero and showing rodents are awesome! 🐹❤️
