About Space Hamster in Turmoil

✦ AI summary

Space Hamster in Turmoil is a challenging bullet-hell shooter where you pilot an AI spacecraft to guide a sleeping hamster to safety through seven stages of meme-obsessed robot bosses and dynamic enemies that constantly aim at you. Customize your ship with diverse upgrades after each stage and unlock experimental powers like splitting into two ships or instant teleportation to carve your own path through this quirky tale of post-human survival.

Hamsters were the most convenient pet to bring to space. We didn't even have to keep them in cages. However, after the extinction of mankind, one such hamster runs out of food aboard one of our very own space stations.

After accidentally activating an A.I. driven spacecraft, the hamster falls asleep right on the pilot's seat.

What will be the fate of our unlucky rodent, surviving on its own without the assistance of man?

You are the A.I. controlling the ship.
Will you get this beloved soul to safety?

--- IMPORTANT NOTE ---
This game is designed for Mouse & Keyboard controls only.

Features
  • A short story delivered in few words, with a deep plot and twist ending
  • Challenging shooter action with optional Easy Mode & 7 Stages (linear campaign) to master
  • 3 Functional, 6 Energetic, and 12 Structural upgrades to customize your experience
  • After completing the game, try New Game+ with all upgrades unlocked from the start!
  • Original soundtrack by Matthew Steed


Dynamic Enemy Aim
Enemies do not have predetermined attacks. Instead, each enemy will always aim at the player! Each enemy has a distinct attack pattern, with different times between shots. Learn enemy patterns, know when to strafe, and master each stage!

Weird & Unique Bosses
Mankind is extinct and A.I. has taken to evolving based on pop culture and meme references from 2018. Nobody knows why A.I. has selected this year, and nobody exists to ask the question!

Customize Your Experience
As an A.I., after each stage you will be able to enter Self Correcting mode. You'll be able to choose three Structural Upgrades (Wings, Gun, Hull) and one Energetic Upgrade. This allows you to play through the game as you like!

Interesting Energetic Upgrades (Powers)
You will be able to use many of the powers that enemies have used against you! Some powers will require more skill than others (e.g. using mouse AND keyboard, or both hands on keyboard). For example, Split allows you to control two ships at once, while Teleport instantly transports you anywhere you click, with no cooldown!

✦ AI summary

Space Hamster in Turmoil is a fun arcade-style game with enjoyable boss fights that players found surprisingly engaging despite limited content. Players appreciate the nostalgic gameplay and would have liked to see more depth and polish, suggesting the game needed additional development time before release.

Did you know that the entire universe depends upon hamsters. Without them your world would become a den of stinking evil. Hamsters, as depicted in this game, face constant turmoil.... All in effort to keep you safe. You should be thankful to hamsters everywhere. In fact, if you see them in cages free them, this will give them the chance to find experimental space craft like in this game. Free hamsters=live in safety...makes sense.

I LOVE SPACE HAMSTERS. But in all seriousness I did enjoy the game WAY more then I thought I would, even if there's not too much content. The boss fights were fun, and the game reminded me of that one arcade game I could never beat. Over all a really good game, just needed some more time in the oven.
