An unidentified co-founder of Hamster Kombat has reportedly launched Hamster Cash, aiming to provide a more equitable reward system than its predecessor. Notably, the new game allows players to transfer their in-game progress, suggesting a direct link between the two projects.
This announcement comes during a tumultuous period for Hamster Kombat, which is facing significant backlash over its upcoming airdrop. Many users have voiced their frustrations, claiming that the token allocations fell short of expectations after months of participation, delays, and unfulfilled promises.
Critics have pointed to what they perceive as misleading marketing regarding features such as “keys” and “profit per hour.” According to user feedback and the allocation breakdown, invites and referrals were key determinants in token distribution, often sidelining everyday players in favor of influencers. Some users even alleged that dishonest practices benefited certain individuals, prompting a wave of discontent and the trending hashtag #boycotthamsterkombat on social media platforms like X.
Despite the growing dissatisfaction, the Hamster Kombat team announced that the highly anticipated HMSTR token is set to launch on September 26, barring any further delays. As speculations about its listing price circulate, many users are expressing bearish sentiment due to the contentious allocation process.
The project has allocated 60% of HMSTR’s total supply of 100 billion tokens for community rewards and the airdrop. While some hopeful players remember the project’s promise of delivering “the biggest airdrop in crypto history,” others are turning their attention to alternative mini-games within The Open Network’s Toncoin ecosystem on Telegram.
As the situation develops, the gaming and crypto communities will be watching closely to see how these projects evolve and whether Hamster Cash can deliver on its promises amid the ongoing controversy.
