A study in the December 9 issue of Sciencereports that rats exhibit empathy when they encounter another rat trapped in a cage. The best part? Once they figure out how, they always go and rescue their fellow rat! Again and again humans have claimed this or that feature separated us from animals. Either we were the only ones who could use tools, the only ones that would play as adults, or even that humans are the only species that is driven more by culture by learned behavior. https://quickchargegames.com/news/hamster-attack-ships-iphone/ Fri, 01 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://quickchargegames.com/news/hamster-attack-ships-iphone/ Hamster: Attack! has finally shipped on iPhone! An iPad version will be available soon, as will new levels for both iOS and Android! See the iPhone version on iTunes! https://quickchargegames.com/news/hamster-attack-level-130/ Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://quickchargegames.com/news/hamster-attack-level-130/ Finishing up the Lab Rats episode is a tricky level where you have to do several things to free a couple of hamster friends. Hint 1: First thing to do is to knock down the tall bars so that they cover up the area with the green balls. You wouldn’t want something to fall down there before you scare the cat. It’s hard to wake up the cat with those blocks in the way, though… https://quickchargegames.com/news/hamster-attack-level-126-hints/ Wed, 25 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://quickchargegames.com/news/hamster-attack-level-126-hints/ There’s a fun trick to level 26 in the Lab Rats episode. Read below the break for hints. Hint 1: That long steel bar that’s hanging from a rope? It will fall down if you hit it. Hint 2: (Hover or tap to reveal) Hint 3: Watch the video to see how it’s done: https://quickchargegames.com/news/hamster-attack-level-217/ Fri, 20 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://quickchargegames.com/news/hamster-attack-level-217/ Sometimes people ask about how to beat level 2:17 (level 17 in the pet shop episode). For most people, the trick is the timing – those domino-like slabs just keep falling! – but there’s an easier way. Hint 1: If you’re really fast, you can bounce a ball to wake the cat on the left, use an exploding flask to blow up the glass on top of the domino-slabs, and then get a rocket to the sleeping cat on the right. https://quickchargegames.com/news/hamster-attack-level-115/ Fri, 13 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://quickchargegames.com/news/hamster-attack-level-115/ A lot of people ask about how to beat level 1:15 (level 15 in the lab episode). In retrospect we probably should have put that level a bit later, since it’s harder to “get” than the levels around it, though once you know the trick, it’s actually not so hard. Hint 1: First, you need to know that explosions can push things on the other side of walls. If you throw the bomb toward the blue ball in the box, it pushes the ball, which pushes the button in the box. https://quickchargegames.com/news/hamster-attack-now-published-backflip/ Sun, 08 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://quickchargegames.com/news/hamster-attack-now-published-backflip/ Hamster: Attack! is now published by Backflip Studioson Android, the developer of the top games Paper Toss, Ninjump, and many others on iOS. And with the new release, there are no more coinsrequired to play any of the first 90 levels, including six that are completely new! There are a few additional features, as well, including the crazy “Chinchilla Stampede” that you can use to skip a level if it’s just too hard – it’s available for a small in-app payment (about $1 US; varies by currency/country). https://quickchargegames.com/news/hamster-android-roller-coaster/ Thu, 18 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://quickchargegames.com/news/hamster-android-roller-coaster/ The first few weeks after Hamster was released on Android, we saw great growth, and it looked like we had a hit on our hands. Almost every day we got more users than the previous day, and when we released updated builds, we saw huge spikes in users. And so it went until the middle of July, when the bottom fell out from under us. Apparently Google has been tweaking the way the market works, and something happened to the ranking that caused it to drop like a rock. https://quickchargegames.com/news/hamster-attack-released-android/ Thu, 23 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://quickchargegames.com/news/hamster-attack-released-android/ Our first original title is now available! Take on the role of Hammy, a cute Hamster who’s escaped from captivity and begun the big job of freeing his friends! The puzzles are tuned to have multiple levels of complexity; it’s not toohard to pass a level, but there are clever ways to do it faster or with fewer projectiles. It’s your choice how you want to play! It’s available in the Android Market now in both freeand premiumversions. https://quickchargegames.com/news/more-hamster-art/ Sun, 27 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://quickchargegames.com/news/more-hamster-art/ The art for Hamster: Attack!is nearly complete. We’d like to share with you some characters and places that will be very important to our hairy little hero. We’re planning our first release in a few more weeks. Hamster fans, watch this space for opportunities to get involved and maybe even make your mark on the game! https://quickchargegames.com/news/final-stretch/ Tue, 15 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://quickchargegames.com/news/final-stretch/ We’re approaching the final stretch on our first original game – close enough that I want to finally announce its official name: Hamster: Attack!We had a great response to it at GDC. Angel and I showed a pre-alpha version of the game with animations, demo levels and game art. We were able to demo the game to a broad audience, including some folks from Android at Google. What I liked in particular was how so many people lit up at the animations and gameplay; we tried hard to make the characters fun and whimsical, but you never know how people will react until you put the game in front of them. https://quickchargegames.com/news/concept-art-sneak-peek/ Sat, 04 Dec 2010 00:00:00 +0000 https://quickchargegames.com/news/concept-art-sneak-peek/ After a long search for an artist or art team for our first game, we finally settled on a team based on a recommendation from an old friend. They produced some amazing concept art that really sold me. See below for the first public showing of some of the concept art for our upcoming game. Meet our cuddly protagonist: Take your best guess as to what our little rodent will be doing.
