Ward off an invading army by throwing a hamster at them in MOCHI-O

If you have ever owned a hamster, then you know that those calm, quiet little critters are up to something! Thanks to the upcoming title MOCHI-O from Zxima, we now know that something is holding weapons of mass destruction inside themselves that they use to protect the nation. How did we miss that?

That’s right, we are continuing our delve into the adorable side of mobile gaming. Although some of these augmentations you can equip look somewhat horrifying, the base is cute, so let's count it. In MOCHI-O it is your job to take your beloved family rodent and turn it into the most destructive weapon you can.

To achieve this, you must feed your tiny fluffy friend an endless supply of seeds, which you do by nonchalantly flicking them at your friend's face. Pump them full of enough seeds and you will increase their affection towards you, as well as increase their abilities in battle. Which is good, because that’s how you get more seeds.

The invading forces you are fighting against were kind enough to pack their pockets full of these strengthening seeds, so you will be buried in them as you obliterate your enemy. Combat is done in a rather amusing way, with you gripping this bioweapon in one hand, aiming at the enemy, and I can only assume squeezing this poor critter to make it fire.

Continue this loop, and you will be able to increase your hamster's skills, such as its rate of fire and attack range. You will also be able to invest your spoils of war into even bigger and better weaponry to blow up even more 

There is no solid release date for MOCHI-O right now, but we do know it will be released on iOS and Android at some point this year. To keep on top of this news, you can follow the developer's TwiX account.
