Review
HamstersSTORY / GAMEPLAY
The main goal in Hamsters is to guide your mallet wielding hamster (!) through each of the 80 different levels, squishing everything in your path. This would seem like quite an easy task, if it was not for the resilience of some of the locals - turtles, snails and penguins that require multiple blows to kill while the slippery frogs can be almost impossible to catch. Add to this the fact that each hammer blow will send you flying across the screen, often to an inconvenient place and you'll end up with what could be Tom's trickiest game yet. Hamsters is definitely not one to be missed.

GRAPHICS / SOUND
Hamsters has colorful and great looking backgrounds, pretty funny sprites and smooth animation. The game's sound features a great intro music and funny, sampled sound effects but unfortunately no in-game music.
