Hamsterball Hits PSN This Week

Hamsters, eh? Well, if TikGames think they’re worth making a game about, especially when they’re in a ball, we’re right behind them.  Well, not right behind them, because it’s all a bit odd, but we’re there – shouting from the sidelines.

The studio-mates of Creat look like they’re going out on their own this time, and Hamsterball, as the game is cleverly entitled, might be what the service has been looking for. ” Take control of a hamster-in-a-ball as they run the most frenzied race of their lives,” says the press release.

“The clock is ticking and EVERYTHING is out to stop them – with crazy obstacles around every turn, unexpected twists and dramatic drops, each level will immerse and challenge players in new and inventive ways!”

There’s a 50-level single player mode, split screen multiplayer and a six-hamster Sumo Mode.  “Hamsterball is one of those games that everyone will have a great time playing.  It’s inviting, humorous, fun and delivers edge-of-your seat action,” says Anatoly Tikhman, CEO of TikGames.

The $9.99 game (Euro details to be confirmed) will be released this Thursday.
