Community Insight:
This game is incredibly cute. The only problem Ive had is that every once and awhile it will unexpectedly crash. Otherwise , this game is awesome.
Very entertaining game. Definitely worth the money. Great animations and quite fun to play. We like games we can play in a quick session like this. Deleted our original review about bad controls. Response to developer: super embarrassing but this was all us. We didnt realize that you had to swipe inside the circle. We thought it was just a direction notification and you could swipe anywhere on the screen. Nothing to look into just our ignorance lol.
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 we gave it two stars because of the control.
Ive only played the first level and so far its pretty cool. But when we try to play the second level it logs us out. So we 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.
We were able to get through the walk though just fine, but when we got to the first level it keeps crashing no matter what we do. Ive reset our iPod, updated the game, closed it and reopened it, but it still crashes every time.
We have an IPod touch Gen 7 and we only played through the first level. We like the game Mechanics we just cant get to see the games full potential. All graphics and video resolution is on low but all we get is crashing in the loading screen. Please fix or give us our refund.
We 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 we couldn't tell what it was trying to depict, so they feel like they're wasting our 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 our phone as gestures to minimize the app, so just interacting with menus is frustrating. The biggest killer for us is the lack of feedback for our actions. There were many times where we thought we were swiping to counter an attack, but the game didn't register it, and provided no feedback to tell us it was even receiving our input. Sometimes we would swipe up to 3 times during the generous telegraph frames, and it would never register. We write this review because we care enough about this game to be disappointed by it, which is far more than most games these days, but we just can't recommend it as is.
Waited a long time for this game and it was completely worth it! A fun game with VERY cute graphics! We always like to see a game about animals but it made us so happy to see it be focused on hamsters! We love rodents and feel they are so underrated, thank you Pimm for being a hero and showing rodents are awesome.
Great cartoonish beatum up fighter game! WITH HAMSTERS. 10/10.
Crisp, Clean Graphics and Awesome Gameplay, we hope more content comes out soon.
Fun and satisfying! Best hamster fighting game we've ever played (also only). Levels were challenging enough to feel good about completing, but not so hard that we ever got stuck!! Pimm is our son.
We waited so long to play this game! Now the time has come.
Perfect combo of awesome fighting moves and cute hamsters 10/10 would recommend.
Played this game at E3 back in 2017 and have been waiting for release. Its been worth the wait. Visuals, gameplay, and aesthetic is top notch.
Love this game and the developers.
We found this games demo at MagFest a couple of years ago and got on the mailing list. This is awesome!! We love the mechanics and how its fighting hamster hopefully there will be expansions in the future.
Very simplistic gameplay but the character animation is something you just dont see every day in a mobile game. Kind of wish there was more variety to the gameplay, but its very obvious that lot of love went into the presentation.
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.
The game looks fun and looks like it has good reviews but we cant even make it half way through the tutorial with out it crashing every time.
We dont know if its our game play or our phone. At times it doesnt keep up with our responses. You think youre trying to swipe or punching but by the time you do its too late! Im only on the second level (and we are enjoying it).
We got to the tutorial and the game crashed, after trying to play the game again it keeps crashing and wont let us play.
Every time we try to get in, it crashes after one level or less. The gameplay is still fun, though.
Cant play second level, crashes on loading screen every time.
