Short description

A cosy hamster space station on a see-through strip above your taskbar. Clicks pass through around it, and it hides when a game goes fullscreen. Build tubes and pods, adopt hamsters with real personalities and watch them run, eat and nap.

About

Astro Hamsters is a desktop companion. Instead of a window, it is a see-through strip that sits just above the Windows taskbar, and clicks pass straight through everywhere around the habitat. Snap together tubes and pods, adopt hamsters with their own personalities, and look down now and then to see what they are up to. Step away and they curl up for a nap; come back and they wake up one by one.
