Hamster Kombat, a leading play-to-earn NFT-based game, has stirred controversy with its recent update to the token distribution portal in advance of the highly anticipated $HMSTR airdrop, slated for September 26, 2024. The game, which has amassed a massive following, is now facing significant backlash from its community, with many players voicing concerns over what they view as an unfair distribution of tokens.

Hamster Kombat Prepares for Major Token Airdrop Launch

The fast-growing Hamster Kombat, which blends gaming with crypto and NFT mechanics, has quickly gained popularity, drawing parallels with the viral Notcoin clicker game that attracted over 300 million users within five months of its March 2024 release. In this Telegram-based game, players engage in mining Hamster tokens—$HMSTR—by managing a virtual cryptocurrency exchange.

In Hamster Kombat, players step into the shoes of the CEO hamster, strategically working to scale their startup by investing in marketing, acquiring licenses, hiring talent, and developing new products. The game is a fusion of entertainment and strategy, where players can also earn $HMSTR tokens by participating in in-game battles.

Each $HMSTR token represents a non-fungible token (NFT) that can be bought, sold, or traded in the game's marketplace. Players can accumulate up to five million in-game NFT tokens by investing in daily upgrades. Recently, the team announced a token launch on The Open Network (TON) blockchain, heightening anticipation with promises of potential rewards for participants.

On August 28, 2024, the Hamster Kombat team confirmed the token generation event (TGE) and scheduled the $HMSTR airdrop for September 26, 2024. At the time, the team revealed that 60% of the token’s total supply would be distributed through airdrops to the game’s participants. A spokesperson from Hamster Kombat claimed that this would be the largest airdrop in crypto history.

Hamster Kombat Faces Intense Community Backlash

Despite the excitement, Hamster Kombat is now at the center of heavy criticism, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). Numerous players are unhappy with the uneven token allocation, with some only receiving small amounts such as 100, 300, or 5000 $HMSTR. Additionally, 12% of the tokens have been locked, a detail the Hamster Kombat team failed to disclose ahead of time, fueling frustration among the gaming community.
