✨ Additions ✨

Three Brand-New Action Packed Game Modes! 🎮

  • Elimination Tag - Get tagged, and you’re sent to the timeout box. Once everyone is tagged, the Hamsters are set free!

  • War Tag - Two-team infection madness! Which team will come out on top?

  • Stealth Tag - Just like regular tag, but standing still makes you invisible!


Reworked Hamster! 🐹

We've been excited to add new emotes for a while, but the process has taken longer than anticipated due to issues regarding the old hamster model and animation rig. So, our solution? We completely redid everything. From optimizing the hamster mesh to creating a new animation skeleton with custom controllers to help support the complex animations we are looking forward to adding in the future.The new model gives our animator everything they need to create the most exciting and expressive emotes. Some are already in the works and just need a few tweaks. I'd say about 6... or 7...? wait...?

TL;DR

New and improved hamster + more emotes coming soon! Got ideas for emotes? Send them to us on Discord!

Oh, and we’ve already added one new emote: Burrow! It was a favorite suggestion from the Discord community, so it’s officially in the game as our first brand new emote! Make sure to check out the customizer in order to equip it.


New Maps & Areas 🗺️

  • Dev Test Map - A fan favorite from early alpha! We revamped it and brought it back in this update.
  • Vertical Cage - A vertical twist on tag! Can you climb to the top of the cage, or will other hamsters knock you down?

Bug Fixes 🐛

  • Fixed a cheat bug that allowed the host to gain an extra point before anyone else. Huge thanks to the community for spotting this!

  • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused rounds to skip.
