Hammy Breaks Free

Hammy the hamster breaks free from the chains of oppression.

A small game jam project my Deep Silver Volition friends and I created in 48-hour game jam. This is version 2 of the game, which added some QoL additions at a later date.

Overview :

• Hammy Breaks Free is a third person, game jam simulation game developed with Unity. The game focuses on Hammy the hamster as he escapes his cage and wrecks his owner's house. Have fun shattering everything in the house, but beware! It wont be long until your owner gets home and tries to catch you! Can you cause enough carnage and escape before you are imprisoned once again?

Main Features :

• Destructible Environment - Destroy everything in the house. Except your  beloved cage of course.

• Angry Owner - After a short amount of time, your angry owner will arrive to put you back in your cage. You don't like him. He doesn't even have a body!

• Golden Pumpkin - Hammy's had his eye on that pumpkin for a while. Now's his chance to destroy it. 

• Wobbly Hamster - Ragdoll physics cause hammy to lose his footing. It isn't his fault, he is just excited.

• Other Gameplay Systems - Other systems include point tracking, cinematics, QTEs and a truly powerful hamster jump.

Version 2 Updates :

• Revamped environment.
• Removed the main menu quit button for HTML version.
• Added QoL features like control prompts, score requirements, and a better description on where to exit the house.
• Made the free roam time longer.
• Added a cool sparkly pumpkin to win faster.

Known Issues :

• Camera collision with walls/ceilings is still a bit wonky.
• Hammy, at high speeds, can sometimes escape the house like a cheater.
• Some consecutive win/lose combinations results in being caught by the hand no longer ending the game.

Other Details :

• Unity / C#
• Programming Responsibilities (UI, Player, AI, Gameplay Systems)
