Hi PlayStation world! This is Howard Lehr from TikGames, here to let you know about our newest game Hamsterball. (Eep!). We had a great time making it for you, playing against our co-workers, friends, family, the guy we saw out the window waiting for the bus who was wearing a RUSH T-shirt (we lured him into our office on the premise that we had a fresh supply of donuts). Hamsterball is a blast and it’s time now to share it with the world. We hope you will love it as much as we do!
What is Hamsterball? Well, imagine if both Marble Madness and Super Monkey Ball were to meet a cute and unsuspecting hamster who’s out for a leisurely roll in his ball. This is the most frenzied race to the finish line he’ll ever run, guaranteed!
Hamsterball offers a ton of great game modes, including 2 player split screen, 7 player sumo and a whole bunch of single player levels. Oh yeah….we’ve got many unlockables, and Trophies too! (We just looooove Trophies.) No more worries about cleaning the cage or middle-of-the-night escapes, only to find your hamster hiding under your laundry pile. Hamsterball offers all the fun of hamster racing, without the bummer of hearing your mom (GF, SO, BF, wife, roommate, etc.) bark at you to tidy up Mr. Stinky’s cage!
Hamsterball will be available for £7.99/€9.99 on the PSN Store on April 15th.

Does the hampster bite you if your friendly with it? Bad experiences
Posted on 14 April, 2010 at 7:22 pm by Howard Lehr
No, no biting. There are also never any pellets in the ball because our hamsters are clean.

This looks ace…
It is SixAxis motion controlled or just the Analogue stick?
Posted on 14 April, 2010 at 7:24 pm by Howard Lehr
Analog stick only. The hamster need to be controlled very precisely so SixAxis just didn’t work for our gameplay style.

Looks awesome guys! I would also like to know about the control system. Please tell me I don’t have to use motion like in that rubbish duck game (forget the name of it but you know the one!)
Posted on 14 April, 2010 at 7:26 pm by Howard Lehr
Controls for Hustle and Race mode are very similar to 1st-person controls, but easier to use. For Stunt and Trial mode the hamster responds to screen-relative Left Analog Stick control. The X button controls special moves for the 3 different hamster types. Jumper… well jumps. Speedy gets a turbo boost and Spiked is able to break through barriers and explore parts of the tracks no other hamster can access.

Title of this article seems to be wrong.
There is no mention of Hamsterball in this week’s article about the PSN store update.

So, when will Hamsterball come to Europe then ?
