What if the world’s last hope was a chubby little hamster armed to the teeth? Say hello to MOCHI-O—a pixel-perfect tower defence shooter where cuteness and chaos go hand in paw. Developed by Zxima and published by Kodansha Creators’ Lab, MOCHI-O is available now on PC via Steam, with a tasty 20% discount running until Sunday, 1st February 2026.
Cuddle-Powered Carnage
Don’t let the fluffy face fool you—MOCHI-O isn’t just here to be adorable. This apocalyptic adventure sees you feeding your rodent buddy seeds mid-battle to level up its firepower. Think faster bullets, bigger crits, wider range, and all-round hamster havoc. And when the waves calm down? You can cuddle up with your furry war machine to unlock game-changing gear like rail cannons and time-freezing laser beams. Naturally.
Custom Chaos, Hamster-Style
MOCHI-O isn’t just a turret with whiskers. With over 100 room decorations and tons of custom builds to try out, there’s plenty of room to experiment. Whether you’re into full-auto crit builds or prefer strategic mine-laying mayhem, the nurturing system encourages you to play your way—while bonding with your bite-sized saviour.
A Gentle Apocalypse
Zxima, the brains behind the game, puts it best: “There are so many games about the end of the world, but many of them have a very serious tone. The contrast of cuteness and destruction in MOCHI-O leads to a light-hearted take on the apocalypse.”
MOCHI-O is out now on Steam for just $4.99, with a 20% launch discount for the next two weeks. Supports English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Hamster not included.
