On A Roll!

On A Roll! is a submission for the GMTK Game Jam 2025

Create and run your own gauntlets! In this totally accurate hamster simulator, you can add crazy obstacles or gizmos to your wheel and jump to avoid them again and again to reach the highest possible round! Making the track more and more dangerous each loop is the surefire way to get the most points, but build your course carefully if you want to stay alive!

CONTROLS

Space or Up - Jump

Hold Jump to go higher

Z or Down - Kick

Left - Slow Down

Right - Speed Up

Mouse Click and Drag - Placing Shop Items

TIPS

-Holding left or right allows you to adjust the wheel's speed slightly, but be careful, it only works while you're on the floor. Speeding up increases your multiplier while slowing down or getting hit decreases it.

-Kicking purple enemies with Z or Down grants you additional money. More money means more obstacles means more points!

-Placing lots of obstacles in a row nets you extra points in the form of increasing your multiplier! But it's also harder to survive multiple obstacles, so be careful.

-The spring and block allow you to get more height than you normally can. They don't increase your points, but can help you to clear more obstacles than usual.

-Buying the Kick Jump upgrade can help you jump further distances!
