The digital coin Hamster Kombat has finally been added to the list. It’s worth about $0.008 right now. Did Nigerians get what they wanted? Should you bet on whether Hamster Kombat will go up or down? Will season 2 be better? Let’s see what happens.

At the same time, Telegram-based “tap-to-earn” crypto games like Hamster Kombat, X-empire, tap swap, and Blum have been popular on social networks, especially X (formerly Twitter) because they are part of a growing trend in both cryptocurrency and online gaming.

Tap-to-earn games are unique in that they are accessible to anyone without blockchain or cryptocurrency expertise. Users only need a smartphone, a few minutes, and Telegram, which integrates the games without extra apps.

What the community says

The crypto community has anticipated HMSTR’s listing for months. Last week, however, the level of reward payments disappointed millions.

The distribution of HMSTR tokens did take place, but the gamers were not satisfied with the situation: it turned out that most of them would receive about $50. In addition, the creators decided to shortchange and block some of the players altogether.

After the airdrop, there was a heated debate on social networks about how unfair it was. To begin, the players were shocked that those keys, not passive income, which they had been told about, were the primary source of tokens during the distribution.

Others noted that the game was not worth the effort simply because people left their smartphones on overnight, killing the battery — in return, the most experienced received a maximum of $50.

X users complained about the listing. Users demanded more of their tokens, and others threatened to unsubscribe from Hamster Kombat on all social media.

Risks and scandals around Hamster Kombat

Even though the project is well-known, it has had some issues. Many of the claims are that early investors were ripped off and not given enough money. This has made some people think that the Hamster Kombat team might also be mean to regular players.

Also, many people have been scammed by phishing sites, fake airdrop times, and even attempts to take over users’ accounts. These issues make people less likely to trust the project.

Rising token prices are a warning to both premarket investors and followers. Despite their high expectations, players and investors should exercise extreme caution in light of recent events.

Despite its initial popularity, Hamster Kombat’s journey has been rocky, leaving investors and players questioning its future. The community backlash and reports of unfair token distribution and security risks have cast a shadow over what could have been a promising tap-to-earn project.

While the game’s accessibility and ease of earning might still attract new users, the recent controversies highlight the importance of caution. Whether Hamster Kombat can regain the trust of its community or fall victim to its missteps will depend on how the developers respond moving forward. For now, the game remains a high-risk bet.
