Forums - Sony - HamsterBall announced for PSN (MonkeyBall like game)

Severance on 22 March 2010

Hi PlayStation world! This is Howard Lehr from TikGames, here to reveal our little secret. (Eep!) We’ve been in stealth mode on this one, having a great time 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 $9.99 on the PlayStation Store on March 25.

Everyone at TikGames really appreciates your support. Please do let us know what you think of the game after you’ve played it.

Did you open the link?

I'm not talking about Marble Madness (which was not even a browser game). I'm talking about the same game with the same name (and judging from the screenshot, identical design).

@Severance: Gotcha.

By the way my post was not supposed to demean the game. As I said it's a good game (spent many hours playing it), and probably a good purchase if you haven't played the original (I bet it has new levels too).

But I just had to point out that it's not really a new game, since the PS blog post makes it look like it's a super-secret new thing.

Why does it look like a game from 2001?
