Help Hammy free his friends using his makeshift slingshot in this action-packed puzzle game.

*** If you have feedback or encounter a problem, please use the feedback button in the app, or the "contact developer" link in the market. I can't respond to reviews, and bugs get fixed! ***

You’ll play Hammy, the furry freedom fighter, as he frightens cats, knocks things over, blows them up, and generally causes mayhem as he works to free his brother and sister rodents. But beware of the cats -- you have to scare them away before you open the cages, or your friends will become lunch!

The game is tuned so that it's not terribly hard to beat most levels, but there's typically a "best" way to beat a level -- and you'll need to find it in order to get the gold medal.

Hammy isn't angry, but fans of a popular game involving birds and spherical pigs should find Hamster: Attack! a creative new entry into the genre. While you still get to blow things up, there’s a lot more puzzle and and a lot less trial and error.

Games like Hamster: Attack! are based on a physics simulator, and so sometimes end up behaving differently than the designers intended. Which means you can sometimes find ways to "cheat" -- but you can also sometimes get stuck. But restarting a level is only a couple quick clicks away!

This is the free version with ad support. If you hate ads or want more levels, then for less than the cost of a cup of coffee you can buy the premium version!

Favorite Reviews of the paid version:

* ....OH BOY NEW LEVELS. HAMMY IS BACK! Amazingly fun!!!!!! dev responds quick too!! Highly recommend!! look out angry birds!!!

* Has some elements of Angry Birds, but takes it to a whole new level. Excellent, life-like physics and sound effects. Fun objects to throw.

* Finally a physics game with good controls and fun levels! I'm getting my hamster a bandana.

What Hamster: Attack! uses its permissions for:

INTERNET permission is used to allow the game to send statistics to me (does everyone get stuck at level 5? Maybe there's a bug...) as well as sending actual crash reports. It's also used to serve ads in the free version -- if you don't like ads, there's always the premium version!

READ_PHONE_STATE is just used to get a unique phone ID for collecting anonymous information such as the statistics described above.

ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE is used to find out whether or not you're connected to the Internet, and it's used by the statistics-gathering code.

READ_LOGS is ONLY used if there's a problem (a crash), in which case the game gives you the option of sending it to me in an email. Only the part of the log relating to that run of the game is included in the log, and you can review exactly what is being sent before you send it.

Recent changes:
More levels!! Really really this time; bugs in 1.1.5 and 1.1.6 prevented the new ones from working; sorry!

There's also now a Hamster News message that comes up when there's something important to tell you about Hamster. And a "Featured Free Offer" to let you know what the best coin offer is! (And a fix for new users who downloaded 1.1.4: Sorry about that!)
