Hamster: Eat and Survive

About Hamster: Eat and Survive

Hamster: Eat and Survive drops you into a darkened kitchen where a hungry hamster is racing against dawn. Cats prowl the maze-like space, and your job is to gather seeds, berries, nuts, and cheese, then haul them back to your burrow before the night ends. The more food stuffed into your cheeks, the slower you move — so every trip is a calculated risk. Survive a night and choose an upgrade to carry forward. As the nights stack up, new mazes open, more cats join the hunt, and golden seeds tempt you into riskier corners of the kitchen. How many nights can you last?

How to Play Hamster: Eat and Survive

Each night begins with a food quota to meet before dawn. Roam the kitchen to collect food items, then return to the burrow — it unloads your cheeks automatically. Fuller cheeks slow you down, so plan your routes carefully. Stay out of the cats' sight lines; getting caught costs a heart and some food. With an empty-cheeked hamster and a completed quota, head back to the burrow and trigger sleep to end the night early. Survive the night and pick one upgrade before the next run begins.
