Hamster Ball is a digital PSN title released exclusively for the PlayStation 3, developed by Creat Studios and published by TikGames. Released back in March/April 2010, it is based off of the original PC version released back in 2004.
The game follows the gameplay style of the original game, however the levels are fully 3D and in a 3rd-person view. You can play as different types of Hamsters who have unique abilities which can be used in "Hustle" mode. The original mazes from the PC version are available to be played on the "Stunt" game mode.
The game also has multiplayer that has two modes, Race and Sumo, which allows for the use of 7 connected controllers to simultaneously play at once, though it is exclusive to this one mode. Hamster Ball also supports online leaderboards for players to upload their times/scores through the various game modes the game offers.

| Vblank rate | 120 | Allows to run above the 60FPS cap, you can also go higher if you increase the Vblank rate. |
Known Issues
