About this game

The Hamster's Journey is a roguelite platformer about combining hats and pants to overcome the obstacles that get in your way, while being chased by the ominous Hamster's Nightmare.

Throughout the levels, you can unlock and pick up a variety of pants, such as the pogo pants and the skateboard pants, which affect how you move and how you jump. You'll also find hats. These are your actions: Equip the grapple hook hat to swing from the scenery or the dash hat for a quick horizontal burst of speed. There are dozens of unique pairings of hats and pants, and finding a winning combination - or making the most of a bad one - is what The Hamster's Journey is all about!

This is a game about variety of movement, and finding the right tool for the job. But then again, using the worst combinations can sometimes help you find unexpected secrets!

If you make it far enough - and fast enough - you can make it all the way to the end of a world, and unlock the door to the next one. In the end, perhaps the intrepid hamster really can escape and see what's out there in the real world.
