About the Game

All Aboard the Hamster Train!


Prepare for cuteness overload, relentless training, and fierce rivalry as you and your hamsters take on challenges while traversing the maze and riding a skateboard, with more modes coming soon! Be the first to cross the finish line to earn rewards and yummy treats!




  • Experience fierce competition in a laid-back style – all you need is a single button, but don't think for one second that it means you won’t break a sweat!

  • Race AI-driven hamsters in mazes and on drag strips – more modes to be included in the full game upon launch;

  • Enjoy multiplayer modes – compete with others, whether they're next to you (up to 4 players locally), or hundreds of miles away;

  • Develop your hamsters’ abilities and skillsets to compete against higher-level opponents;

  • Look after your hamsters and expand their house – furnish it with new equipment and make it the mansion they deserve;

  • Name your hamsters and customise them – there are over 100 cosmetic items!

  • Enjoy detailed graphics and cute animations, no matter what mode you're playing!
