Does not work for me, shows up only an orange screen, but music starts.
I could start it. The orange screen only seems to appear as long as the game is loading. Many participants use Java btw.
It's an interesting concept by the way :). Be a hamster on the moon :)
Fun little game. Who knew hamsters can survive on the moon?
Cool setting, the found the controls frustratingly slow though. Hard to get anything done.
Cool idea.. hamster simulator :D hehe
Controls could have done with some tweaking.. maybe an FOV adjustment. Left/Right went way too fast, up/down went way too slow.
Could have added shift to run/sprint .. took too long to cover ground.
I love the concept, hamster sim, I feel it would be a lot easier to control if the ground and pipes were textured. It was hard to tell how fast you were swinging the camera when everything was a solid color. I love the jump sounds. :P HAMSTER STYLE
Haha nice little game :) Now I know how it is to be a hamster ;D
Fun game. I managed to climb on top of the green piping, and when I got up there, I could launch myself super high in the air by walking on the geometry in a funny way.
The sound was incredibly annoying. I liked the map, but the number of collectibles was too large, movement too slow, and occasionally skippy.
Liked the fact that the theme actually affected the level design! One gripe is that the physics seemed a bit off, in terms of jumping through the pipes.
Hamsters in space? I like hamsters! I even made a hamster game this time!
Controls could be a little faster but interesting concept though (It was actually pretty fun exploring the world as a hamster).
Cool idea, bit weird gameplay but kind of fun! Nice job anyways! :D
Amusing idea. I wish the scale of the level was smaller, and the bgm loop longer and more varied.
pipes++
Having java issues. Would like to play... could we get a demo video?
Please change the misleading "Web" label for a "Download". Thanks, good game!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
So much fun making this now time for sleep
