IN THE BUILDING: HAMSTERS

OH RATS

Once again, I couldn't get this game to work and had to select the windowed mode because it obviously doesn't support large monitor resolutions. 

I made the mistake of purchasing the entire "In The Building" series bundle because it looked similar to one of my favorite games, A Building Full of Cats.

All four games in the series are identical in EVERY way, down to the same font and a very close title! The only difference in this episode is that the cats are now Hamsters. They are so identical; even the artwork and features are similar. Instead of an elevator to stop at 5 floors, you enter 5 different houses. You enter the bathroom exactly as in A Building Full of Cats; they even have the same icon that tells you how many Hamsters & Hidden Hamsters there are.

I noticed that the developer stated 
"During the development of this game, we were motivated by the game "A Building Full of Cats." 
 Admiring someone's work can be a great inspiration, but when you copy every feature of an admired game, it's called plagiarism!

The developers of

A Building Full of Cats & A Castle Full of Cats

  get my shout-out; they are the real creative geniuses here.

Like them or hate them, the "Find X amount of X" games have some integrity.
This game has not!

Usually you find (for example) 100 cats that are hidden within the playable screen.
In this "game" they are "normal" hamster that are "half-hidden" (aka. you can find them with your eyes the normal way) and "full-hidden" hamster (aka. you find them by randomly clicking around).
The fully-hidden ones are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ even for this type of game. They reduce this game to "click randomly across the screen until you hit the random trigger to 'unhide' this hamster".
I strongly do not recommend this game!

Again a lovely little HO Game. But it still has the same problem as the 'in the building cats' entries: The special hidden hamsters are a click and error or more like randomly found. Because there is no indicator that you can click on that pillow and behind that is a hamster and behind the other one isn't one. I also had the problem that the controls switched to 'WASD' or 'arrow keys' only and I couldn't use the mouse any more when I pressed one of the WASD keys once. I had to quit and restart the game then.
