The ultimate tapper that earns you money. How does it work? Can you build one yourself? The answers to all these questions are within. Read up, fellas!
Hamster Kombat is taking off! Millions tap the Hamster. This game's success on the TON blockchain, especially with a new token in the mix, shows that even simple games on Telegram can pull huge crowds and big money.
For building similar games, Directual is a solid choice. All the heavy lifting on the backend, makes it easier to manage complex features like digital wallets. You can use Directual to whip up awesome games faster and cheaper than the old way of doing things, all thanks to a proper TON integration.
But, let’s take a look at the biggest game out there, just to see where you can get on your own, too.
The TON blockchain is booming right now because of a token event for Hamster Kombat, which everyone plays on Telegram. They’re about to start using a new token in the game, and suddenly everyone’s all over TON because of it. The game’s even gearing up for some big updates soon.
Oh, and get this—Hamster Kombat pulled in 200 million users in just three months, making it one of the fastest-growing apps ever. It’s one of those tap-and-earn games and is looking to set some crazy records just like Notcoin did.
They’re going to use TON to make and drop these new tokens. They’re also sticking TON wallets right into the game, which should make the TON coin more useful. There’s more stuff coming too, like new game modes and events toward the end of 2024.
Since these games like Notcoin and Hamster Kombat took off, TON’s value has shot up. It jumped from about $13.5 million to over $700 million in total value locked, according to some data from DefiLlama.
Also, TON’s value is a bit down from its highest point last month, but it's still way up compared to last year. Sure, the market’s been rough, but TON’s still doing pretty good, all things considered.
TON hit its biggest value ever at about $733.62 million on July 2 2024, but the token's price isn't really keeping up. Right now, it's at $7.32, which is down nearly 5% in just one day according to CoinMarketCap.
Also, TON's price has dropped from its peak back on June 15, but since last July, it's actually up a whopping 430%+. That's one of the top gains among all the altcoins. Still, the recent dips in the market might be messing with TON’s price a bit.
Now, let’s take a look at this beast of a game and what it actually is.
Hamster Kombat is smashing records left and right—it's now the third-fastest app to hit 150 million users, doing it in just 77 days. Only Pokémon GO and Threads, Instagram's answer to X, beat it, with Pokémon reaching that number in 33 days and Threads in a wild six days back in 2023.
Telegram's boss, Pavel Durov, who’s got a hefty 2.7 million followers, was all over Telegram bragging about how quickly Hamster Kombat is blowing up. He's pumped about launching a new token on the TON blockchain, which he reckons could really kick Web3 into high gear. Since its launch in March 2024, the game has already pulled in over 200 million players.
Durov threw out some crazy numbers too—Hamster Kombat got to 100 million monthly users in just 73 days, and now it’s at 239 million in 81 days. The game’s racking up 4-5 million new users every single day, making it one of the hottest things on the digital block right now.
In Hamster Kombat, you play as a bald hamster who’s just been named the big boss of a crypto exchange. The main thing you do is tap your avatar to rack up coins, but you also gotta use points to buy upgrades for your exchange, which bumps up how much cash you make every hour.
This is what the gameplay looks like
So, one of the cool things about the Hamster Kombat Telegram mini-app is this daily combo deal they've got going. Basically, they throw you 5 million in-game Hamster coins just for upgrading certain parts of your exchange. The catch? The upgrades you need to buy or boost change every single day.
Jumping on this promo can pump up your passive income. It’s a mix of actually having to think about what you’re doing, sinking your teeth into the gameplay, and maybe scoring some real-world perks. That’s why all the crypto gaming nuts are pretty into Hamster Kombat.
The in-game upgrades help you earn points even when you're not tapping like a maniac, and there’s this energy meter thing to stop you from going tap-crazy and keep the bots at bay.
Even though it sounds like your typical mobile clicker game, Hamster Kombat is calling itself a ‘crypto exchange CEO simulator’, not just some mindless tapping game.
It’s got stuff like investing in goods, running PR stunts, getting legal stuff sorted, and throwing special events that add some real strategy to the game. If you're into crypto, you'll probably get a kick out of the nerdy jokes and nods to the crypto world in there.
And yeah, there are those typical buttons to share your achievements all over your socials and nag your mates to join in, which gets you some extra coins.
Hamster Kombat's grown like crazy in just three months, thanks to its mix of gaming and social tricks. Players are crossing their fingers that all this grinding will pay off with some sweet, sweet airdrops like the old Notcoin game used to do.
Players can get coins by doing stuff like following the game on social media and watching videos on their YouTube channel. Basically, the game turns players into walking, talking ads for itself, which is why it’s blowing up on social media.
As of June 28, Hamster Kombat is bragging about having 46.8 million followers on Telegram and 30.2 million on YouTube. It’s even beating out monster channels like MrBeast. The devs behind it are so pumped that they’ve tried to get into the Guinness World Records for scoring over 10 million YouTube subscribers super fast. Since it kicked off on May 24, the Hamster Kombat YouTube channel has pulled in nearly 474 million views and banked about $5.2 million, with ad revenue seeing some serious spikes.
The game's setup also pushes YouTubers and TikTokers to make guides and tips, which just makes it even more popular. They drop daily puzzles and challenges with tight deadlines that can score you loads of points if you crack them.
But it’s not all clean fun—some sneaky users are trying to sell accounts or use bots to cheat, which the game’s developers are trying to stop with things like an energy system.
Hamster Kombat might be a bit more fun than your typical clicker game, but let's be real: a lot of players are just here for the cash. The devs are planning to drop their own token on the TON blockchain sometime soon, though they haven't spilled the beans on when exactly. You can already hook up your TON wallets in the game, getting ready for whenever this token decides to show up.
Pavel Durov’s hyping up this token drop, but he's keeping it vague, saying stuff like, "Soon, Hamster's team will mint its token on TON, bringing the benefits of blockchain to hundreds of millions. We are witnessing the dawn of a new era." Big talk, but no specific dates.
The game’s site says the token’s gonna have some uses in-game by July 2024. They got their tech stuff sorted out back in June, and players have been able to link their wallets since then. The devs are pushing this thing hard on Telegram, X, and YouTube, basically telling everyone that making money per hour is the game before this token even launches.
Following Durov’s lead, Hamster Kombat then announced some mega-level for players called 'The Creator,' where you need a ridiculous 18 billion coins to hit it. Guess they think dangling this carrot will get players to spam their friends on social for extra coins.
Whether this game's gonna stick around in the long haul, who knows? But with the numbers it’s pulling, when this airdrop finally happens, it’s gonna shake things up in the crypto market for sure.
Here’s the rundown
Want to get started with Hamster Kombat on Telegram and rake in some rewards? Here’s how:
Each day, you can throw some coins into specific upgrades to score big bonuses, like a huge 5 million free in-game coins. And don’t forget the Daily Cipher missions—these can net you an extra million coins each day and they vary from super easy to head-scratchers.
There’s also a boost system to speed up your coin collecting, and you get six of these boosts free every day. Log in daily and do specific tasks to nab more bonuses. If you drag your friends into the game through the referral program, you’ll get even more rewards.
A few pro tips: keep upgrading that exchange of yours to max out your coin intake. Stay active in the game’s events and missions to keep the coins flowing. Keep an eye on the leaderboards to see how you stack up against other players. It’s all pretty straightforward—tap, earn, upgrade, and brag to your friends about how you’re climbing the ranks.
So, you've racked up some coins playing this game, right? Here's the rough and ready guide to turning those into HMSTR tokens:
By connecting your wallet and following this guide, you can turn those game coins into actual crypto tokens, set for trading or more gambling. Keep an ear out for any updates from the game on when and how the airdrop and token listing are going down.
Hamster Kombat is doing pretty well in the play-to-earn game scene. It’s blown up, pulling in over 60 million players just three months after its launch. Clearly, people like what it's throwing down, with its fresh gaming vibes on platforms like Telegram. The game’s got this tap-to-earn thing that hooks players by dangling real rewards through its token setup and some promised airdrops.
Hamster Kombat aims to milk the ever-growing decentralized app scene. This move is supposed to boost transaction security, which is big for keeping players interested and trusting the system.
The devs are teasing us with more updates and features, maybe even jumping into the NFT and Metaverse crazes, which could really jack up the game’s pull and spread its appeal even wider.
