## Description

**Ham Race** is a charming and engaging Chrome extension game where you control two hamsters racing by spinning their wheels. Use the left button to spin the rear wheel and the right button to spin the front wheel. Pressing both buttons simultaneously causes the wheels to roll lightly, adding a strategic element to gameplay.

As the hamsters race to reach the goal, their energy decreases with each spin, so you'll need to manage it carefully. If the energy drops to zero, the wheels stop moving, and your race ends. This simple yet addictive mechanic makes Ham Race an entertaining and fun challenge for players of all ages.
