As Hamster Kombat prepares for its highly anticipated HMSTR token airdrop on September 26, the game has entered an "interlude season." On Friday, the game took a snapshot of players' progress as the developers begin calculating the upcoming airdrop allocations. During this transition phase, many familiar features of the game have been temporarily removed.
Players will notice that in-game coins are no longer available, and tapping the main screen no longer provides rewards. The popular crypto exchange upgrades and Mine menu have also been removed.
In the meantime, players can earn in-game diamonds by participating in native and partnered games, inviting friends, following the game's social media, or watching Hamster Kombat content on YouTube. There's also a new Mine submenu within the Playground menu, where players can use diamonds to buy and upgrade startup-themed cards, which in turn help earn more diamonds.
What this means for the game's future remains to be seen, but Hamster Kombat developers have hinted at new play-to-earn rewards a token goes live. The token, based on The Open Network (TON), will be launched on September 26. With over 300 million players to date and around 100 million active users in the past month, expectations are high for the airdrop.
