Significant decrease in active users, the game's popularity has waned
Once a sensation, the Telegram game 'Hamster Kombat' is currently facing a dilemma with both user activity and token prices declining. According to the latest report, the game's monthly active users have plummeted from 300 million in August to only 41 million, a reduction of 86%. This significant drop has raised concerns in the industry about maintaining its user base and ranking in global gaming platforms.
Not only has the number of users significantly decreased, but the native cryptocurrency token $HMSTR of Hamster Kombat has also experienced a severe price decline. After reaching a peak of $0.009993 on September 26, the price of $HMSTR plummeted by 76% in just over a month and is currently at $0.002392. This phenomenon is mainly attributed to the decrease in game demand and investors' doubts about the token's viability.

Reasons behind user attrition
The reasons for the decline in Hamster Kombat's users and token value may be multifaceted. Firstly, the overall poor performance of the gaming and cryptocurrency market recently may have negatively impacted Hamster Kombat.
Secondly, Hamster Kombat's failure to fulfill its commitments to the community is also a major reason for user attrition. Many players criticize the game for failing to uphold its basic promises, such as delayed airdrop plans and internal conflicts, leading to a daily loss of players. Many users invested a significant amount of time and effort in hopes of obtaining sustainable income or a rich gaming experience, only to end up feeling disappointed and even betrayed.
Many people in the community expressed that they brought benefits to the game through their interactions but did not receive corresponding returns, feeling 'conned' by the developers. This limited reward has had a lasting negative impact on users who expect more returns.
Additionally, the game's airdrop plan has left many players dissatisfied. Reports indicate that most users have only earned single-digit dollar amounts after months of playing the game. This situation has sparked widespread anger and doubts about the game's integrity.
Can Hamster Kombat bounce back?
In the face of user dissatisfaction, Hamster Kombat faces a huge challenge in regaining player interest and increasing token value. The team plans to integrate NFTs as in-game assets in the second quarter, expected to launch this month. However, this news has yet to reignite market interest in the project.
This situation highlights the importance of transparency, fulfillment of commitments, and recognition of user contributions in the highly competitive crypto gaming industry. As cryptocurrency analyst Mario Nawfal commented: 'A lesson for all meme coin enthusiasts: Rapid rise? Cool. But if your project can't keep them interested, be ready for free fall.'
Overall, Hamster Kombat needs to take proactive measures to restore player confidence, which may include improving gameplay, increasing rewards, and strengthening communication with the community. Only in this way can it regain a foothold in the competitive market.
