If the hamster falls too far, rolls off the course, or is destroyed by an obstacle, a new one is placed on the course after a short delay. A short fall causes the hamster to become dizzy and hard to control for a short time. Instead of a marble, however, the player controls a hamster in a clear plastic exercise ball.
Similar to the arcade game Marble Madness, the goal is to complete a series of 15 race courses in as short a time as possible while avoiding various obstacles. The TikGames PlayStation version was created on 25 March 2010. Hamsterball is a video game developed by Raptisoft Games, released on 8 February 2004 for Microsoft Windows.
