To the delight of ‘tap enthusiasts,’ Hamster Kombat has announced that its token launch on The Open Network (TON) and airdrop reward to gamers will take place on September 26. The Telegram-based game, which claims to have over 300 million users, is set to reward its eager users who have spent months tapping and building up their hamster-run crypto exchanges.
Launched on March 26, Hamster Kombat is a Telegram-based tap-to-earn game that allows players to mine coins by tapping their screens and doing tasks. Hamster Kombat’s core concept is similar to Notcoin and TapSwap, albeit with more complex game mechanics. It is a tap-to-earn game mixed with a crypto exchange simulator.
Now that an airdrop date is confirmed, below is how to maximize your allocation and what analysts expect of the launch price.
How to increase your Hamster Kombat airdrop allocation
Hamster Kombat is more than just a crypto exchange simulator when we wrote an explainer in May. The Telegram-based game developers have been continually adding new ways to earn towards the airdrop.

In other words, the airdrop for each player will be based on mechanisms not limited to coin earnings. According to the Airdrop menu in the game, another factor that will play into allocations is how many keys players earn from playing the mini-game puzzle.
Hamster Kombat’s playground currently includes 10 games that award players keys. Apart from the inbuilt puzzle game, there are nine external games that gamers can download from the App Store/Play Store which are Stone Age, Train Miner, Mow and Trim, Chain Cube 2048, Merge Away, Polysphere, Twerk Race, Zoopolis, and Tile Trio. They’re all simple free-to-play games.

As mentioned earlier, earning keys is one of six components that will considered in the airdrop allocation. The airdrop menu reads:
“Keys are a valuable asset. To build a sustainable platform, we need to open a great amount of locks on proper doors. Third-party games integration test is the key to a big publishing platform that will ensure long-term token utility.”
Another of such mechanisms is the Hexa Puzzle mini-game. To get started, tap the “Playground” menu at the bottom of the screen, then hit the “Minigames” on the resulting screen. There you’ll find the icon for Hexa Puzzle, and Hamster Kombat will show you a simple overview of the game before it begins. Check here on how to play the game and increase your chances.
What analysts are saying about the $HMSTR launch price
In the build-up to the launch on September 26, traders, gamers, and analysts are all wondering how much the Hamster Kombat toke could be worth.

The game plans to distribute about 60% of the total token supply to users, with the rest allocated for development and rewards. At the moment, no one is sure what the Hamster Kombat crypto will be priced at, how many tokens will be available, or how redemptions will work.
That makes it difficult to make forecasts.
However, it is important to take into account the fact that the token will launch on notable crypto exchanges like Binance, Bitget, Bybit, and OKx. With the swarming users these exchanges have, it is expected that the token has exposure and high trading volume.
That said, several analysts have weighed in with their thoughts. Analyst TradingFace suggested that Hamster Kombat could soar to $0.19, a massive valuation that exceeds even our most optimistic expectations and Knightron Crypto predicted that Hamster Kombat could launch at $0.04, 4x the price of Notcoin.
It is however important to note that crypto is highly speculative and volatile and these predictions might have no bearing whatsoever on the market value of the token.
