Pocket Hamster Mania is the latest French app store exclusive set to go international

Pocket Hamster Mania: A Cuddly Critter Collector from CDO Apps

CDO Apps, the developer behind Pocket Hamster Mania, is making waves with its second game. Currently a French exclusive, the game is slated for a significant international launch. Prepare to collect over 50 adorable hamsters, engage in 25 diverse activities, and explore five unique environments at launch.

Hamsters: undeniably cute rodents, smaller than guinea pigs and less… unconventional than rats. It's no wonder they're popular in mobile gaming, and Pocket Hamster Mania capitalizes on this appeal. But what makes this hamster collector stand out?

Don't expect a radical reinvention of the creature simulation genre. Pocket Hamster Mania focuses on, you guessed it, collecting hamsters and having them participate in fun activities to generate seeds. Different hamsters excel at different tasks.

As anticipated, a gacha mechanic is present. At launch, over 50 unique hamsters await collection. With 25 activities spread across five distinct environments, there's plenty to unlock, and CDO Apps has promised ongoing updates.

For a second release, CDO Apps' ambition is commendable, especially considering the saturated gacha market. Almost every conceivable theme already has a game. Yet, CDO Apps launches with a substantial amount of initial content and a proactive international release plan. We'll be watching Pocket Hamster Mania closely to see how it fares upon its global debut.
