Features

As it stands, the game doesn’t really have any other features other than the main game. When you launch a hamster, you can use hamster balls, fans, rockets, and springboards to keep him moving. Get a skateboard and gain some extra ground on the landing too.

The Breakdown

The Good:

flight-of-the-hamsters-flightThis game is just plain silly and a lot of fun. I really liked the music, “Ride of the Valkyries,” that plays throughout the game once you launch a hamster. A very nice touch.

The graphics look really good and the sound design fits quite well with the rest of the game. The little hamster animations are also very cool here. They just look so willing to go flying through the air. It’s very funny.

The Bad:

flight-of-the-hamsters-scoreMy only real complaint here would be the lack of features included in the game. I was expecting it to have something, but it really is just the launching game and that’s it. You’ll either like the game or get bored, fast. Not much else to complain about really.

The Verdict

This game is worth a buck for sure. It’s fun and entertaining and you’ll no doubt laugh at the hamster’s little dance at the end of the game. It can get a little boring after a while as there isn’t much included in the game. A fun game to play on the go, but not a lot of staying power.

    This game was originally made in flash for playing in web browsers. I’ve spent lots of hours playing the game and bugging it by flying too high in the air instead of far. I found i really entertaining. You can find it by googling Flight of the Hamsters. I’m thrilled to see this game coming to iPhone. (:
