Players of Telegram-based tap-to-earn title Hamster Kombat are coming up with creative new ways to maximise their tap potential.
Hamster Kombat allows players to earn digital coins simply by tapping your screen. These coins will translate into an upcoming token airdrop, taking place on Telegram‘s $TON network.
With over 250 million players and growing, the game has captured a massive fanbase – and those fans are now looking for unique ways to earn coins as efficiently as possible.
How are players boosting their taps?
Hamster Kombat has unveiled some startling ingenuity from web3 fans. Some players have jerry-rigged sewing machines to tap faster, others have made custom equipment to tap across multiple devices, and there’s unverified reports that massage gun sales have skyrocketed in Russia as players look to gain an advantage.
It’s not all about fancy equipment though. Some players have learned to continue tapping whilst at work, with one example on X showing a man playing Hamster Kombat while giving a customer a haircut.
On the more basic end, one user has shared a bizarre three-finger method which allows them to deplete their energy at rapid speed.
With the wide proliferation of these exploits, the Hamster Kombat team are certainly aware of the many ways in which players are taking advantage of their tap-to-earn mechanic. Although expected, it is not yet known if the Hamster Kombat team will be making any changes to prevent these exploits, or if those found to be exploiting the title will see their airdrop allocation affected.
What is Hamster Kombat?
Hamster Kombat is a a tap-to-earn minigame on Telegram. Reminiscent of the wide range of idle tap titles that were incredibly popular in the mid-2010’s, players take on the role of the Hamster CEO of a crypto exchange, tapping the screen to earn coins.
These coins can be used to purchase a variety of upgrades which allow for coins to be gained at a faster rate, and for energy to recover more quickly.
The game is currently in its play-to-airdrop phase, whereby in future, these coins will be converted into a token allocation for an upcoming airdrop.
