Hamsterz Life is a hamster simulation video game released by Digital Kids (JP) and Ubisoft (US) for the Nintendo DS. Hamsterz Life is also known as Love ♥ Hamster or Love Love Hamster in Japan.

Gameplay

Hamsterz Life lets players to take care of up to 5 hamsters at once, and choose customizable cages for them to live in. Just as in the other Petz games, players can interact with their hamsters by training, playing with, and feeding them. Hamsters start out as pups and eventually grow into adults during play.

Various actions can be chosen including training, feeding, care and other options. Training consists of teaching the hamster words (which they repeat back in their own hamster speak) by saying the set phrases into the DS microphone. The hamster can repeat these phrases back, but it presents as a speech bubble from the hamster without audio. Players can feed their hamsters, clean their cage, and brush their hamsters.[1] Players can only have one hamster at home at once, any other hamsters that are owned are left with the character Hammy until the player wishes to switch hamsters. The player's hamsters can visit with the hamsters of friends who also own Hamsterz Life via the connect feature. When playing mini-games, if players win, they receive prizes such as food, toys, cages, or cage decorations. Toys can be put into the cage for the hamsters to play with. Players can let their hamster out of its cage to play in the surrounding room. There may be present boxes in the room, which contain prizes they receive when their hamster finds them.

Hamsterz Life includes mini-games sprinkled throughout gameplay, including: "Fish Scooping", "Ball Get/Capture", "Memory Training", "Fish Scooping", and "Slide Panel".
