Once a popular “tap-to-earn” game on Telegram, Hamster Kombat has experienced a significant decline in user base and engagement levels due to political backlash, bans, and rising competition. The game once attracted substantial attention among users; however, challenges in recent months have led to a rapid loss of popularity for Hamster Kombat.
In August, Hamster Kombat boasted 300 million active users, but as of November 5, it has only 41 million monthly active players, marking an 86% drop in user numbers. This decline has become even more pronounced with the launch of its new competitor, Paws Mini App, which has quickly gained traction on the Telegram platform. Paws reached 20.5 million users in its first eight days, surpassing the growth rate of Hamster Kombat.

According to IntoTheBlock (ITB) data, user interest in Hamster Kombat peaked on September 27 with approximately 772,330 active addresses, but has since declined. User activity and interest in the token have dropped sharply, with more than a 36% decline in the past week alone.
Token Price Decline
These challenges have also affected the price of Hamster Kombat’s token. According to CoinGecko data, the game’s HMSTR token dropped from its peak price of $0.01 on September 26 to $0.0022 by November 4 — a nearly 70% decrease. This dramatic decline in token price is directly linked to reduced engagement within the game and a drop in the number of daily active users.
Hamster Kombat’s rapid decline has also raised questions about the sustainability of the “tap-to-earn” concept and blockchain-based games.
