Hamsterball

Hamsterball is a Mad Marble Maze made by Raptisoft.

The main game mode is Tournament, where the goal is to race against the clock to the goal of 15 races that get progressivly harder as the game goes on. Any time left over is carried on to the next race, so speeding through the early races is essential.

Time Attack challenges you to finish one of the races to get bronze, silver or gold medals, based on time. There is also a Golden Weasel trophy for an even better time than the gold medal.

Multiplayer features 2-player racing on any of the unlocked races and up-to-4 player 'Rodent Rumble' games, where the goal is to knock your opponents of the arena while not falling off yourself.

A sequel has been announced for 2012.
