While on PC, Steam players can get their hands on a great free game, Telegram users are facing the rise of a certain Hamster Kombat. With its 200 million players, this game is in the crosshairs of several countries, but what is this game that is driving people crazy?
HAMSTER KOMBAT: WHAT IS IT?
A tap-to-earn game, Hamster Kombat is THE game of the moment in the Web3 world. You become a hamster CEO of a cryptocurrency exchange, with the goal of earning points through tap-to-earn and daily missions. Hamster Kombat has been blasting levels one after the other for months. Today, the game is said to have more than 200 million players. And with Telegram having around 800 million users, more than 1 in 5 people would play Hamster Kombat. A Russian game available from its dedicated channel, with a no-download application that can be launched from smartphones, computers or tablets.
And of course, players need to watch videos from the official Hamster Kombat channel regularly to earn points. A strategy that paid off for the game, which garnered nearly 30 million subscribers in just a few weeks on YouTube. Like a contest, the game also asks for likes under its publications or reposts. Hamster Kombat therefore increases his visibility at a lower cost, a strategy that pays off given the profile of his players.
If players are so assiduous, it is because an airdrop has been announced for this month of July 2024. Designed for the TON blockchain, it is the dream of many players around the world. In terms of gameplay, nothing revolutionary. Hamster Kombat takes the principle of cookie clickers and adapts it to cryptocurrencies. All you have to do is frantically hit your hamster’s belly to earn points and evolve your character. But if players are holding on so much, it’s because its token, a memecoin, has increased in value over time.
Enough in any case for this July’s airdrop to be seen as providential by some players. It remains to be seen whether this blockchain project will not be yet another disappointment. The answer will be in the coming weeks. For your part, are you already a Hamster Kombat player?
