Hamstronaut

description

I made this for the very serious juniper dev jam, mostly as an excuse to build something with my kids.

meet gary. gary is completely sure the moon is made of cheese, and nothing you say will change his mind. so you spin his wheel for power, sell it for cash, build him a rocket, and launch him up there to find out who's right.

i drew all the art myself in excalidraw. it sucks. but my 7 year old made every single sound effect, and my 13 year old did the testing, and they think is good, which is honestly the only review i care about.

how to play: tap the bar (or hit space) to spin the wheel, buy upgrades, build the rocket, then launch (or hit shift). nail the middle of the bar for a bigger spin. hit space to use rocket boost

Art is fully made in Excallidraw. Sounds are 100% made by my kids making noises in my Macbook's voice memos. Code was written by me but used Claude in some debugging and minor fixes.
