Hamsterball is an award-winning game from Raptisoft.

Take control of a hamster in a ball and get set to run the craziest race of your life! But be careful, because the clock is ticking and everything is out to stop you!

Ages ago, the staff of Raptisoft stumbled upon a Marble Madness machine in a video arcade. It was love at first sight. We never understood why nobody ever put out sequels to Marble Madness, or made a 3D version, or made a version for Windows! Eventually, we decided to do it ourselves! Hamsterball takes the spirit of Marble Madness and brings it into the next century!

Hamsterball also has a bunch of really good music created by Skaven252, who composes music for all of Raptisoft's games. There are 20 soundtracks total in the game, 15 of which are race music themes, and 5 are generic tracks (for example, the loading, main menu, and win tracks). However, there are also two unused tracks consisting of an unused song and a very short, catchy rhythm. For the more astute people looking into the music files using a program like OpenMPT, they'll notice two sections to the Neon Race track that were left unused. Yodakiller3000 has uploaded the best Video of the OST and has all 20 songs + download links:

Message from RodentRacer[]

I'm slowly starting to revive this wiki; fixing up the main pages, adding missing pages, and creating new content. I've started work on a Speedrunning page, which I'm sure some people have noticed already. I plan on having it be a thorough documentation on everything related to speedrunning the game. I also plan on eventually making a section on the Technicalities of Hamsterball which will talk about the physics, respawn mechanics, and how the game stores and interprets information. Most of you will think that's boring, and honestly, it kind of is.

If you have any questions, contact me at my Discord account, RodentRacer#8455. Edited 5/5/2021

Level Exporter[]

As of late 2020, custom levels are a thing in Hamsterball, thanks to Carsillas#6819 - a community member who was able to figure out the level exporter Raptisoft gave us. Some pretty cool levels have been created so far, with more in progress. All information on custom levels and how to build them have been documented in this PasteBin. New pages will eventually be created to hold this information.
