JAKARTA - The success of Hamster Kombat seems to be starting to fade. The tap-to-earn game, which was popular some time ago, had to swallow the bitter pill because its community began to leave the game. Recent data show a drastic drop in the number of players, the price of HMSTR tokens that continues to decline, and the dim interest in searches on Google.

According to a data report from Tgstat, Hamster Kombat's official Telegram channel lost more than 5.7 million followers in just the past month. This figure is equivalent to an average of 200,000 players who decide to leave every day. This drastic drop indicates mass dissatisfaction with the development of projects and airdrop allocations that are not as expected.

The decline in Hamster Kombat players has also become a topic of discussion in the online forum Reddit. "This is like being left by a boyfriend," said one of the Kombat Hamster players at Reddit. "Initially it was very promising, but it took a long time to be bland and there were no more surprises."

This negative sentiment is also reflected in the drastic drop in interest in finding the keyword "Hamster Kombat" on Google. If in September the search interest reached its peak, now it only leaves 3%. Community disappointment peaked after the airdrop campaign deemed disappointing.

"I've deleted all the Kombat Hamster accounts and stopped following influencers promoting them," said Crypto with Khan (SFZ), an influential user of X or Twitter among the crypto community.

The drop in the number of players and public interest had a direct impact on the price of the HMSTR token. In a short time, the price of this token fell more than 8% and is now at its lowest level, which is around Rp. 51 per token. Not only that, the market capitalization also shrank from more than Rp. 9.3 trillion to only Rp. 3.37 trillion.

Although the development team has released a new roadmap with interesting features such as NFT integration, it seems that this is not enough to attract tens of millions of players.

The decline in interest in Hamster Kombat has resulted in a decline in several other blockchain-based gaming projects. According to a report from DappRadar, the volume of transactions in the DeFi gaming sector has decreased by 25% in the last three months.

This indicates that investor interest in these kinds of projects is starting to decline. On the other hand, to achieve success as before, the development team must really listen to input from the community and make significant improvements.
