Hamster Playground for Mac

A free simulation cute game

Hamster Playground is a free-to-play game developed by Mass Creation and published by We Dig Games. This PC game combines management simulation with mini-games, creating a hamster training game. As you play this game, you'll train your hamsters and enter them in online battles, competing in races to eat as much food as possible and solve challenging brain mazes.

Hamster Playground offers a different gaming experience combining elements of competition and cooperation—race against other players to be the first to reach the finish line and earn coins and rewards. Challenge yourself against AI-driven hamsters in both mazes and drag strips.

Mini-games and management SIM

After selecting your hamster in the Hamster Playground game, you'll enter a 2D house view with water and food outlets requiring replenishing coins. You can also utilize coins to fix the bed, shower, playroom, and toilet. All of these features are essential to your hamster's well-being—neglecting them will make it unhappy and affect its competitive performance. Your hamster's competitive performance is determined by its stats for strength, agility, determination, and intelligence.

This game features a variety of mini-games that can be played against AI opponents or online multiplayer with random players. The mini-games include races through mazes, competitions involving eating, and races on skateboards. Moreover, here, you'll find various kinds of currency, such as coins, stars, seeds, screws, and diamonds, each serving the purposes of repair, purchase, upgrades, and training. All five can be earned by leveling up, completing quests, and playing mini-games.

The soundtrack of this game is energetic and upbeat, with predominantly funk music that highlights brass instruments, cheerful vocals, twinkling sounds, and drums, adding to its delightful charm. Additionally, the visuals of this game are breathtaking, featuring a captivating isometric view and vibrant 3D models rich in color and detail. However, only a few mini-games can be played, and most of them are overly simplistic, resulting in boredom after a while.

Hamster Playground has exited Early Access and is now fully released. Here's what you need to know—this game remains free to play for all users.

With an energetic soundtrack and stunning visuals, this game is a fun and immersive experience, though its limited mini-games may become tedious for some players.
