A cartoon hamster in a yellow hazmat/biohazard suit digs down through rows of rubble blocks in a ruined, radiation-poisoned city, hunting junk-food treasure (a soda can, a bag of chips, a hammer, a candy bar) while avoiding radioactive blocks.",
    "art_style": "Flat 2D vector cartoon with thick black outlines and flat cel-shaded fills, no photorealistic lighting or gradients beyond simple soft vertical color fades used for atmosphere; chibi-proportioned mascot with an oversized head; muted, desaturated color grading (olive/khaki greens, rust browns) to sell a toxic/derelict mood; front-facing, flat side-view game board (not isometric); overall tone is comedic-spooky mobile-casual rather than dark cinematic horror, despite the apocalyptic setting.",

      "appearance": "Chubby cartoon hamster standing upright, light-tan face and belly fur, darker brown ears and head fur, a single spiky tuft of green fur/mohawk on top of the head, large round black eyes, big front teeth showing in a grin. Wears a yellow hazmat/biohazard coverall suit with grey/silver shoulder pads, a grey ribbed collar ring around the neck (like a spacesuit collar), a small light-blue rectangular chest badge, and a black-and-yellow biohazard trefoil symbol printed on the belly of the suit. Holds a mining tool in the right hand/paw: a long grey metal wedge-shaped digging head (broad flat blade with a pointed tip) mounted on a straight orange handle -- a stylised pickaxe/shovel, not a firearm."

    "summary": "Hamsta runs on the SAME underlying Turbo Games ladder/crash engine already documented for the closed slot Towers (107bbb55, wave 209): identical 4-column board, identical 5-tier difficulty system, identical bet-limit structure, and an identical top multiplier of x3840.21 on the hardest tier.",
    "evidence": [
      "Board layout: 4 columns x N rows of rubble/stone blocks in both games.",
      "Five difficulty tiers with the same fractions of dangerous blocks per tier (1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4), only the tier NAMES and iconography differ (Hamsta: Dead City/Wasteland/Swamp/Graveyard/Z-Day; Towers used its own theme names).",
      "The Nightmare-tier ladder ceiling reads x3840.21 in Hamsta (frame base_game_nightmare.png), matching the Towers Nightmare ceiling to the exact hundredth (Towers wave 209 record).",
      "Identical Limits panel structure: Min bet, Max bet, Max Profit.",
      "Identical Rules accordion with the same six section titles (How to Play?, Game Details, Settings, Bets History, Disconnection Policy, Version) and near-identical wording, including 'Cash out' / 'Cancel' / 'RTP' subsections."

      "Theme/skin only: post-apocalyptic zombie-outbreak city with a hazmat hamster mascot digging through rubble, versus Towers' own theme.",

      "Difficulty-tier names and their small circular badge icons are unique to Hamsta (a leaning skyscraper for Dead City, a bare tree under a sun for Wasteland, a zombie hand rising from mud for Swamp, tombstones under a crescent moon with bats for Graveyard, a green Frankenstein-style monster face for Z-Day/Nightmare).",
      "Header/background artwork changes with difficulty: normal difficulties show a calm green-tinted ruined skyline; selecting Nightmare recolors the header to a blood-red palette with running zombie silhouettes and the mascot's speech bubble changes to 'Only the crazy will survive.'"

      "The bet is only deducted once the player opens (digs) the FIRST block of the round -- confirmed by balance change from $1000 to $999 between round_dig_prompt.png (pre-dig, balance still $1000) and round_in_progress.png (post-dig, balance $998 after a $1 stake, i.e. only reduced once).",
      "Each row contains 4 blocks; a fixed fraction of them (set by the chosen difficulty) is radioactive/hazardous and hidden until opened. Digging a safe block clears the whole row, the mascot visually climbs to stand on that row, and the row's multiplier is now available to cash out.",
      "Digging a radioactive block ends the round as a loss; the staked bet is forfeited. The screen returns silently to the idle 'Start Game' state with no distinct loss banner, animation frame, or on-screen text observed on the captured loss frame -- see accessibility notes.",
      "At any point after clearing at least one row the player may press 'Cash Out' (labelled with the current dollar payout, e.g. 'Cash Out $1.26') to bank the current multiplier tier's winnings and return the board to idle.",
