Hamster on Rails

Fun and really difficult puzzles in the levels. Also great artstyle.

Really fun game. The sound, the graphics and the environment are cute. I've enjoyed it. Not my type of game.

As a puzzle game, this one is fantastic! Definitely recommended. As an overall experience, the joy fades a little due to several notable flaws. By and large, the levels are clever and unique, and very fun to look at. Completing a level is genuinely enjoyable as you watch your little hamster roll through flicking switches and jumping on buttons. However, the pace of the level playing out is quite slow (even on 2x), so if you made a mistake in your solution, you will be gifted with the opportunity to watch your hamster flick the same switches and press the same buttons over and over and over. In that same vein, on many of the later levels you will spend an inordinate amount of time watching the hamster just press buttons. Some levels have your hamster pressing 20+ buttons, multiple times each. Worst of all, those same levels, particularly in the 4th world, cease to be about track layout and rapidly degenerate into a bizarre game where all you do is spin the level and highlight doors as you try to decipher which arrangement of your limited buttons will keep the doors and gates open without accidentally closing one, because the doors are linked, but depending on which door is connected to the button, different doors link to the same door, and frankly, that whole process is painfully tedious and not even remotely fun. And heavens forbid you get it wrong, because you'll have to watch the hamster press those same buttons another 100 times. No joke, the later levels would significantly improved in quality if half the doors were simply removed. In terms of difficulty, the first world is honestly too simple. I'm no stranger to puzzle games easing you into the action, but many levels go by before it's even possible to make a mistake that isn't obvious. That said, the later levels pick up wonderfully, and some of them have been genuine head scratchers that had me stumped for a good while. The sound design is generally quite strong and the music pleasant. However, and this is a big however, some of the ambient sound effects have absurd repeat timers. The skull clatter sound goes from cutesy to grating when it plays every 5 seconds. The cannon sound is neat until you hear it 500 times while you're trying to sort out how a turnout should work. I found myself regularly muting the game on any level that took me some time to decipher. My last complaint is that the NPCs with fetch quests talk too much. I realize how absurd this sounds, given how few NPCs there are, but honestly, nearly all of them could be pared down a single blurb of text and a little "woohoo" as you toss their item to them on the way to the exit. Also, it would be really cute if the item you fetched for them appeared beside them after receiving it (not really a complaint, just something I thought would be nice). In conclusion: if you like train tracks, cute things, and mellow puzzle games, this is the game for you!

Very fun to play! Cute hamsters reminded me of Hamtaro, an anime I loved growing up. Plus It gets really challenging once you get more tiles, especially the lever. You can see it draws inspiration from various anime mascots when unlocking new outfits. Overall, a great game to sit back, relax and have your brain tickled trying to solve the puzzles.

This may seem like a simple rail puzzle, but do not be mistaken. This game is really hard Visually it looks good, though sometimes the environment can be in the way to see clearly Overall not the greatest game due to the difficulty, but not a bad game in any way 7/10
