We’re Muse Games, you may know us from our teamwork-based Steampunk vehicular combat series Guns of Icarus, or from the magical phosphorescent forest of CreaVures.

We’d like to introduce you to our newest creation, Hamsterdam! The brawling hamster-fu beat-em up made for Nintendo Switch™, Android & iOS Devices, and of course PC & Mac!

Let the mob take over Hamsterdam? Not in this life! Your town is beset by the vile Vermin Gang and the scourge of MarloTonic™, just as the evil Marlo planned. The one thing he didn’t plan on? A Hamster-fu master with cheek pouches stuffed full of J U S T I C E. 

The once peaceful town of Hamsterdam is in danger! The vile chinchilla Marlo and his Vermin Gang are wreaking havoc and terrorizing the town. Enter our hamster hero, Pimm, who must harness his mightiest martial arts powers and kick tail through district after district, on a heart-pounding journey to take down the Vermin Gang, save his grandfather, and restore peace to Hamsterdam.

Hamsterdam. The once beautiful town Pimm calls home, now a degenerate den of crime and corruption.

This is the sauce of all the trouble in Hamsterdam. Using Marlo Tonic to control the population, the nefarious Marlo is sitting pretty at the top of the food chain, but he’s about to be cut down to size when the fur starts to fly!

Hamsterdam is a game where rhythm & precision meets some good old fashioned button mashing. With classic arcade brawling mechanics and tap and swipe martial arts combos, the power of Hamster-fu is in your paws!

Boss battles

Beating down the faceless goons of the Vermin Gang is one thing, but sooner or later Pimm will come toe to toe with fiendish boss battles that will really test your skills.

Scooter

Every street-smart superhero needs a ride that shows the bad guys they mean business. Take Pimm for a ride on his scooter, and maybe once Hamsterdam is safe, you’ll be riding off into the sunset.

Swing, tap and swipe, rhythm

We built Hamsterdam with the intuitive gesture controls of the Nintendo Switch and the touch controls of other mobile devices in mind. It is also playable with a keyboard and mouse on PC/Mac. Unleash your inner Hamster-fu master and swing, tap, or swipe your way to victory!

Nintendo Switch™

We'll support multiple ways to play on Nintendo Switch, including Joy-con, buttons, and touch

Mobile/Play It Anywhere

We'll support both Android and iOS devices, so you can play on the go!

Concept Art

Why Indiegogo?

Having the opportunity to be a part of the Indiegogo InDemand program would help us tremendously to continue funding for additional art and features that would make the game that much more rich and engaging. It would allow us to complete our narrative animatics, potentially add additional game modes, outfits, and social features for people to share their hamtastic experiences.

Perhaps more importantly for us is getting your help in testing different aspects of the game. We still need help tuning pacing, progression, and making sure all the combat and onboarding elements are easy to understand and play. For that, your support would be invaluable.

Influences

We started the project from a game jam idea - it would be interesting if we could take the classic beat’em up, brawler experiences (such as Streets of Rage, Fist of the North Star, Super Punch-Out!!, and Arkham Asylum) that we loved, and marry them with the controls of the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, so that people can use gestures to bring action to life.

To craft the vision of Hamsterdam, we are continually inspired by 80’s kung-fu movies, the ground-breaking perspectives of The Wire, the satirical depiction of Amsterdam in the famed Pulp Fiction scene, and beautiful visuals and humor of Ratatouille.
