How it feels

A game about repeatedly jumping, falling, and getting back up, creating a sense of persistence through trial and error.

What players say

Players love the adorable art and see Hamstory as a kind, more accessible take on the Jump King formula. The charged jump is shown with a UI bar, and a major update added plentiful checkpoints, making the game far less punishing. Players split on whether the base climb is tough or moderate, but the cute hamster and gentle atmosphere offset frustration for most.
