Hamster Kombat, the popular Telegram tap-to-earn game, has kicked off its “interlude season” as it prepares for the launch of its HMSTR token and airdrop on September 26. On Friday, the game took a snapshot of players’ progress, marking the end of the current season.
During this interlude, many familiar features are gone. Players can no longer earn in-game coins by tapping the main screen, and the Mine menu with crypto exchange upgrades has been removed.

Instead, players can earn in-game diamonds by participating in native and partnered games, inviting friends, following social media accounts, and watching Hamster Kombat videos on YouTube.
A new Mine submenu is available in the Playground menu, allowing players to purchase and upgrade startup-themed cards with their diamonds, which will help them earn even more diamonds.
The developers have promised a future season focused on play-to-earn rewards after the airdrop. This interlude serves as a transitional phase, setting the stage for what’s next once the HMSTR token is live.
With over 300 million players to date and around 100 million active players recently, TON developers caution that high airdrop demand may affect network performance. As excitement builds, players are eager to see how these changes will enhance their gaming experience in Hamster Kombat.
