Evaluation

Hamster launched on June 28, 2024 as a free-to-play idle clicker. In the week following launch, the developer was active: a quality-of-life patch shipped on June 29, 2024, a bug fix on June 28, 2024, another bug fix on July 5, 2024, and a notable content update (Version 0.3.0) also on July 5, 2024 that added Hamster Coins, inventory features, leaderboards, and more. However, the developer has not posted any update, patch, or communication of any kind since July 5, 2024. As of June 19, 2026, that represents nearly two years of silence. The store page explicitly lists features that are described as planned but not yet implemented — specifically, unique visual effects for each Hamster Skin and a system for using duplicate Hamster Skins in-game. These remain undelivered. With the developer completely silent since July 2024 and no explanation provided for the lack of activity, it is unclear whether development is continuing or has been quietly abandoned.

Evidence

Version 0.3.0 released with Hamster Coins, inventory features, leaderboards, and more. This is the last developer communication of any kind.
