Hamster Planet

Presented by sigonasr2 and Moros1138 for the olcCodeJam2024:

Run and roll through fun environments as you race against other hamsters to collect checkpoints in a frenzy.

Post-Jam Modifications (Original build remains just for completeness)

• 26 Aug: Added steering control option. Added pausing functionality. Load time fixes for restarting the same level. Fix some timer display bugs. Fixed "PurpleRed" configuration typo/bug. Added highlighting of score on leaderboard. Fix Blue Hamster being unselectable. Absolutely unacceptable.
• 28 Aug: Player name saves to brower's LocalStorage (for web leaderboard).
• 9 Sep: Didn't realize when I uploaded the original game it had broken assets causing stages to be completely messed up. Original Windows version has been reuploaded with the correct assets. The actual game didn't need to be re-built or anything so the code remains untouched. Sorry!
