Playground

Hamster Kombat, the popular Telegram tap-to-earn game, has seen a major drop in its player count. The game, which once boasted 155 million active users, now has just 87 million—an alarming decrease in under a week. This sharp decline follows news that the highly anticipated airdrop of its $HMSTR token has been delayed. 
Since its launch, Hamster Kombat has attracted millions, <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/07/10/hamster-kombat-reaches-250-million-players-coin-launch-in-july/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reaching 250 million players</a>. Its tap-to-earn model has kept gamers hooked, eagerly awaiting the release of the $HMSTR token.&nbsp;

The developers recently revamped the game’s tokenomics, with <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/07/31/hamster-kombat-to-airdrop-60-of-tokens-to-players/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">60% of $HMSTR tokens </a>set to be distributed directly to players. They also introduced a new feature called the Playground, which has generated excitement and speculation. Concerns have arisen that not participating in the Playground might disqualify players from the airdrop, heightening anxiety among the community. 
Originally scheduled for late July, the airdrop’s delay is attributed to technical difficulties and the sheer scale of the token launch. With nearly 300 million users, coordinating a smooth distribution is challenging. The team is also focused on ensuring a successful blockchain launch. 
Several <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/08/15/why-hamster-kombat-airdrop-is-delayed-key-reasons/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">factors could be behind the delay</a>. Speculation includes waiting for better market conditions, technical issues with distribution systems or smart contracts, and uncertainties around cryptocurrency regulations. Internal disagreements might also be playing a role. 
In an official statement on X, the Hamster Kombat team acknowledged the complex technical issues with the Ton blockchain but did not provide a new airdrop date. They advised players to stay tuned to official channels for updates. 
The delay has stirred disappointment and speculation among the gaming community. Still, they need to update something on the airdrop, or the users might decrease more in the coming time.
