How it feels

A gentle, low-pressure desktop companion where you watch and care for a tiny hamster as it goes about its day on your screen.

What players say

Players enjoy a cute desktop hamster that eats, sleeps and evolves, but many hit a wall: at level 20 a non-removable donation popup appears, progress can reset without explanation, and the game crashes at the level 100 wave. The few interactive options grow repetitive quickly. Some call it a charming idle distraction, others warn it feels like malware.
