Its a Hamtaro fangame where you can chat with others, share your music with everyone, make your own player-made items, build, fight monsters, run polls, wear different clothes, play laser tag with others, race others, fuse with others, battle other hamsters, and more.
Ham Ham Rivals Chat was created using BYOND, and requires having BYOND to be installed to play it.
You can download it here.
When you're in the game, you can move around with the arrow keys. There are MANY verbs (commands, Ham-Ham words, etc.) you can perform by clicking on them on the panel.
You can punch other monsters by clicking on them. Or, if there is a Punch button in the corner, you can click on that to punch the enemy that you have targeted. This is how you fight in the boss battles in the tournament.
You can target an NPC or player by clicking on them. You can use spells on who you have targeted.
In Laser Tag, you can either shoot a laser tag beam by either clicking "Shoot Beam" in the "Tag" panel, or by simply pressing 5 on your Numpad.
Features
Race other players:
Challenge other players in the game to a race on the race track.
Hang out with others:
The game is an open chatroom.
Make your own soundtracks:
Create a custom music CD with midi files from your computer, and share them with other players.
Fight other players:
Challenge another player to a duel in a battle arena, or enter the PvP (Player vs. Player) room for free-for-all combat.
Use lots of emotes:
Use emotions / "Ham Ham Chat words" that were ripped (and recolored to look better) from Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite!, along with several original ones.
Write in Paper:
Make papers such as newspapers, or a love letter. They can be set to be read by anyone, or to be able to be read by a specific player only. You can use HTML in the papers.
Private chat with buddies:
Chat privately with friends with the in-game BIM (BYOND Instant Messenger,) if you feel like it.
Drop, sell, trade, buy player-made items:
When you make a CD with midi music (or oggs under 1mb) or a paper or custom clothing or some other item, you can then make copies of your item, drop your item for other players to pick up and check out, or give some copies of your item to a Seller Ham NPC so that they can sell it to other players (even while you're offline,) and you can collect the coins you've made at any time.
Play laser tag with others:
Play a game of laser tag with as many players as you want in the laser tag arena. Shoot a laser tag beam to hit another player. If they're hit three times, they're out.
Fuse:
Don't feel like a freak of nature? Rest assured, you can ask another player if they want to fuse with you. If they accept, you both become one character (until you defuse or run out of MP) that both players can talk through and move together. Some characters get specific graphics: If a Hamtaro and a Bijou player fuse, they will become "Bijaro."
Become someone's ham:
Ask someone to be your ham, and feel the warm glow in your heart of your "special friendship!"
Unique stats:
You can unlock much stronger (but rarer) types of critical hits, when you have enough points in your luck stat. There's also HP, Maximum HP, and Initial HP (and this was before Final Fantasy XV did the same idea.) Eating sunflower seeds have a chance of permanently increasing your initial HP or several of your other stats.
Share pictures and play music:
You can post pictures from your computer in the chat, or play a song (if it's a midi or an ogg under 1mb) for all of the other players to hear. Players can choose to not have the music change on them, if they want. Other players can download the song that was played, or the picture that was posted.
Build
Build anywhere, inside or outside. Create your own clubhouse.
Clothing and Accessories:
Purchase different clothes from a few different shops in the game using in-game coins that you've collected.
Varied locations:
Visit the Ham-Ham Clubhouse, explore the outside, train at martial artist Abu's dojo, explore Hamster Heck, a mysterious laboratory, fight in outer space, and more.
Game coming soon
