Long time no activity! I just released version 0.6.3 and summer is back! Hamster Climb has returned to it’s original look, except for the graphics improvements that happend during the winter. Have fun!

I just released the new version of Hamster Climb that includes Facebook integration. You can now easily post your score to your Facebook wall right from the Game Over screen!  There is also a link to the Hamster Climb app on Facebook in the main menu screen.

Happy Climbing!

I’ve added Facebook integration to Hamster Climb and are now releasing a beta of it! With the new beta you can find a link to Hamster Climb’s Facebook page on the main menu. But most importantly there is now a Facebook button when you get a Game Over to post your score right to your Facebook wall!

New beta: APK

Try it and let me know what you think through the comments!

Hope you like it!

I’m updating the graphics and touch controls in the game and are releasing a beta for you to try out. Hope you like the updated graphics!

Link to installable package: APK

For those of you who have experienced laggy touch controls and especially so in the newest version there are two new items in the Options. Please try the beta and try different values for the new options and see if you can get it to work better. Please report your results as comments to this post!

I just noticed and fixed a very lame bug in the High Scores server. The bug resulted in the weekly list not being cleaned of old scores. Thus it was filling up with higher and higher scores and not at all functioning like a weekly list. I’m so sorry for this and REALLY sorry for not noticing it sooner.

It should be fixed now tho!

Have fun!

I just released version 0.5 Hamster Climb on the Android Market!

Change log

• New high scores system with World Wide, National and Weekly lists separated by tilt and touch controls.
• Fixed a bug where the time could go backwards causing the hamster to appear below it’s previous position.
• Removed old code for keeping the screen lit while playing with tilt controls that sometimes resulted in crashes.
• Pressing the back button while playing will now show a “Really Quit?” dialog instead of leaving the game immediately. Pressing “No” will pause the game and let the player resume at any time.
• The menu button can now be pressed to pause the game.
• Added credits.
• Less permissions.
• Lots of other small fixes.

Please report any bugs you find as a comment to this post, a comment at the “Report problems” page or as a mail to my gmail address “baskus”.

I hope you enjoy the new high scores system! Try to beat my score (I’m baskus), compete with your friends, be the best in your country or even try to beat the world record!

Have fun!

I think everything’s nice and dandy for a release of version 0.5 now! Just to be on the safe side I’m releasing a beta version right here on the blog for anyone to download and test!

This beta includes the new high scores system I’ve developed especially for Hamster Climb. Please bombard the server with scores! I really need help testing this thing before I can let it out into the wild!

DISCLAIMER

• The online lists might be reset at any time during the beta testing or just before release of the new version.
• Local scores saved to the phone might get lost when you install this. The beta will replace any installation of Hamster Climb from the market and will load local scores from old versions but I don’t guarantee that you local scores will survive beta testing.
• The Last Hour list will be remade into a This Week list when the new version is released on the market.

Download HERE.

If you experience any problems with the beta version please leave a comment to this post. I really need any feedback I can get.

Thanks!

The beta testing has been successful and the new version will soon be released. I just have some minor things to fix, mostly user interface related.

In the meantime take a look at this Youtube video of a fan made map of Hamster Climb for Little Big Planet!
