Hamster than Light
Build your own Rocket with little but hard-working pets to travel across the Universe!
You manage hamsters between two wheels so each of them benefits the whole team. Your goal is to reach the maximum potential speed of the spacecraft to score the Great Hamster's record.
The game is in the process of improvement.
Feel free to share your feedback and records in the comments!
Goals🚀
- Pet Hamsters;
- Have fun;
- Reach a speed of 299 792 km/s!
How to play❔
To achieve the highest speed you need to build and upgrade modules of the rocket for star-currency. You recieve Moons🌙 and Star-currency⭐ by clicking on the shards🪨 that flies all around. That is a bit tedious, though. But you can fix it!
You can grab any hamster and put him in the wheel to make them run and produce energy for modules. By balancing the number of hamsters in each wheel you optimise the process of collecting currency right to the top!
Modules🖲️
The rocket has slots for unique modules. They help you obtain shards easier. Top two modules are powered by the top wheel, bottom ones are powered by the bottom wheel and middle modules work independently from any wheel.
Top modules help you obtain shards automatically. Bottom modules make the rocket fly faster, so more shards appear on the screen. Middle modules aim at well-being of your hamsters.
When you pick a module you change your final "build". There are strong combinations in the pool for everyone to discover! Total 140+ combinations are available, so one must put some thought in planning.
Hamsters🐹
Every member of your crew is a hamster! They have stamina, they can not spin the wheel forever. Hamster inevitably become tired and need a rest. Well, that is unless they have got some traits...
Traits are obtained when hamster works enough time in the wheels. Traits increase hamster's stamina if special conditions met. For example, introvert hamster works better alone. Consider traits of your crew to manage them with best way possible! Go faster than light!

worked in browser just fine for me, super cute game :)
Thank you so much!
Two problems:
1) Its very laggy in the browser
2) I downloaded it through the itch client -- it starts, but nothing happens (i see just a static blue screen).
I looked at the files - there is no exe, only html, which is actually launched from itch and nothing happens after.
Game looks interesting but i cant play it which is sad.
UPD: 3rd problem: if you open the game in the browser in full screen - the size of the game window remains the same small. Unity allows you to make an adaptive resolution. It would be cool to implement this.
I think there is a bug when you star a new game... I start with 999 stars and can not click anything
Could you share more details? Does this happen every time you start a new game, or was it a one-time issue? Also thanks for report bug!
