The developers of Hamster Kombat anticipated a decline in players and intend to attract participants from the first season, as well as new users. This was reported by Cointelegraph, citing a statement from a project representative.
In the summer of 2024, the audience of the “tap game” reached 300 million. However, following an airdrop deemed unsuccessful by users, the project lost 260 million players. The price of the HMSTR token, which was $0.011 on its listing day on September 26, subsequently plummeted to $0.002254. After the fall, it began to recover amid Bitcoin’s rise to new historical highs.
The project team stated that the decline in activity was “expected.” Interest in the game “fluctuates.”
“Since our project has seasons, this is quite expected. We are currently in an interim period and preparing for the launch of the second season. Even now, our MAU remains above 30 million, indicating sustained interest,” noted a representative of Hamster Kombat.
In October, the developers of Hamster Kombat commented on the drop in HMSTR’s price, attributing it to supply dominating demand.
The team will strive to “reengage” participants from the first season while simultaneously attracting new players.
“We currently have over 11 million token holders, allowing us to compete with leading blockchains. We plan to increase the number of HMSTR holders and enter new markets,” stated the project representative.
The project “managed to retain the core group” of players, comprising 30 million users who are “actively engaged in the gameplay” after the first airdrop, stated a source from the publication.
