Telegram games have seen a surge in popularity in recent months but <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/is-hamster-kombat-legit-trending-telegram-continues-to-grow-despite-potential-concerns/">Hamster Kombat</a> has stolen the show. The crypto exchange simulator game allows players to earn points by tapping into its Telegram mini-app. Creators claim the game has gained 250 million players in three months.

In an interview, the founders said Hamster Kombat was “more than just a game, it’s a worldwide family.” The unidentified team, which claims to have operated in the blockchain space since 2013, added that it “believes in the long-term power of the community,” according to <a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/304606/hamster-kombat-founders-reveal-games-origins-plans-for-a-second-airdrop?utm_source=telegram1&amp;utm_medium=social" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The Block.</a> 
<blockquote>
 “Satoshi Nakamoto decided to remain anonymous because it was not about them. It was about the industry and the community. So did we,” the founders later told the 52 million people in the game’s official Telegram channel.
</blockquote> 
Meanwhile, Hamster Kombat’s first airdrop has not been done yet, but the creators are already promising a second one, per The Block. The game’s first airdrop is tentatively scheduled for later this month. 
“The game will go on, and there will be a second season with the second airdrop in the next two years,” the creators said, in response to a question about whether the game will survive beyond the airdrop. 
<blockquote>
 “We think that the token, which will belong to millions of users throughout the world, holds a huge value in itself,” the team added.
</blockquote> 
Some projects struggle once they airdrop tokens to users. Many people who receive free tokens quickly sell them to cash-in. Notcoin, the first crypto “clicker” game on Telegram, is still riding high two months after airdropping NOT tokens worth $1 billion.

In creating Hamster Kombat, the founders drew inspiration from Notcoin, meme stocks like Gamestop, and social media games from the 2010s to put their own spin on the game. However, there have been reports of users farming coins with bots. According to The Block, the creators said those using bots to farm coins will be penalized.

“We see everyone who is trying to flood bots, and we will be cleaning them up before the listing,” they said. “Notcoin was able to ban around 20% of bot accounts, we’ll try to do the same …&nbsp;Using bots and referral cheating will be punished.” 
At the heart of the clicker games boom are Telegram “mini-apps” – web applications that run inside the messaging platform. Telegram CEO Pavel Durov <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/telegram-launches-digital-payments-system/">said</a> recently that mini-apps such as Notcoin and Hamster Kombat grow quickly because users don’t need to install them on their devices.
