Co-op Hamster Game 'Hamster Ball Chaos!' Launches on Steam
The game's core mechanic turns cooperation into a test of restraint, where a single player's impatience ends the run for both.

SCH Games and Weird Dog Games released 'Hamster Ball Chaos!' on Steam. Two players control hamsters in one ball, pressing buttons in sync to move. Pressing five times without the partner's input explodes the ball and ends the game. It costs 530 yen, with a 20% discount to 424 yen until August 25.
SCH Games and Weird Dog Games have released 'Hamster Ball Chaos!' on Steam. The game pairs two players as hamsters inside a single transparent ball, navigating obstacle courses through physics-based movement. Each button press gives a short push, so the ball only moves when both players press in rhythm. Holding the button does nothing.
The twist is punitive: if one player presses five times in a row without the partner's input, the ball explodes and the game ends instantly. The store page calls it a friendship-destroying game 'guaranteed to make you furious.' A solo mode is available for players without a partner to blame.
