HOW SCORING WORKS

The rules in detail

You have 30 seconds. One hamster pops up at a time in one of nine holes. It stays up for 1 second at first, 15 milliseconds less after every pop, down to 0.55 seconds. A hamster is worth 1 point; about one pop in ten is a star worth 3 points. Tapping an empty hole counts as a miss but takes no points away. Your best score is kept on this device.

Tips

  • Keep your eyes on the middle hole so you can see all nine at once.
  • Hover your finger over the board instead of lifting it away.
  • Do not chase a hamster that is about to hide; wait for the next one.
