Hamster Run: Great Escape
Tap to jump, roll, grab stars
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New in 1.1: Level Rush, Time Attack medals, a free Daily Run, Remix twists and Cat Chase. Outrun the house cat and climb the leaderboards!
Hamster Run: Great Escape is a one-button auto-runner. Hopper the hamster rolls along inside a ball; you tap to jump and hold to jump higher. Time it right to clear the holes, dodge the spikes and collect the stars.
THREE WORLDS
• The House: spring off cushions, ride the high road along the shelves, then a kid's bedroom on Medium and the attic on Hard.
• The Garden: timed sprinklers, popping moles, crumbling leaves, mud and wet grass, then a greenhouse and the pond at dusk.
• The Pet Shop: rolling carts, bouncing toy balls, striped barrier arms, conveyor belts and fish tanks that float you, then the bakery and the stockroom after hours.
THREE DIFFICULTIES
Fifteen Easy levels to learn the ropes, with a coached Practice run to start. Fifteen longer, faster Medium levels with moving platform sections: stop at the edge, time each jump from plank to plank. Then fifteen Hard levels built on rhythm: rolling balls of yarn, piston spikes that pop in waves, and crumbling planks that give way under you.
FIVE WAYS TO PLAY
• Level Rush: a whole world, five levels in a row, three shared lives.
• Time Attack: race every level for gold, silver or bronze.
• Daily Run: a new rush every day, one attempt, free for everyone.
• Remix: stack twists like a dark room, hidden stars or a single life.
• Cat Chase: the house cat is right behind you.
Leaderboards for the Daily Run, Level Rush and Time Attack live right in the game, through Game Center.
DRESS UP HOPPER
Spend the stars you collect on balls, trails and hats in the shop.
MADE FOR SHORT PLAYS
Instant restarts, checkpoints in the hard parts, no accounts, no ads, no tracking. Painted storybook worlds, music and sound effects included. Easy, the Practice run and the Daily Run are free; Medium and Hard are one in-app purchase, shared with your family. Plays full screen on iPhone and iPad, and in a tabletop split on iPhone Duo.
Can you help the hamster make its great escape?

The biggest update yet, with five new ways to play:
• Level Rush: run a whole world, five levels on three shared lives. Every star pays, and your best goes on the leaderboard.
• Time Attack: race every level for gold, silver or bronze. Stars take time off, and a streak of five gives Hopper a boost.
• Daily Run: a new rush every day, one attempt, free for everyone.
• Remix: stack twists like a dark room, hidden stars or a single life. In a Rush or a Cat Chase, each one raises the star payout.
• Cat Chase: the house cat is right behind you. Keep rolling!
Also new:
• Leaderboards right in the game for the Daily Run, Level Rush and Time Attack, with your own bests.

• New rooms for Medium and Hard: a bedroom, the attic, a greenhouse, the pond at dusk, the bakery and the stockroom after hours.
