What is Driving Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) 17% Price Increase?

Key Notes

• Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) skyrocketed a whopping 17% in the past week.
• On March 13, the game introduced its daily cipher challenge with the code being “STONKS.” In late February, Hamster Kombat debuted Hamster Network, the first-ever gaming Layer-2 blockchain .

Hamster Kombat (HMSTR), a viral Telegram-based clicking crypto game, has rallied significantly, jumping 17.19% over the past week and 3.36% in the last 24 hours alone, despite the broader market crash.

The latest rally is largely attributed to the platform’s new daily Morse code challenges.

Players who successfully decode the encrypted word stand to win a massive 1 million HMSTR token reward, adding more utility to the game’s ecosystem.

Hamster Kombat Attempts to Maintain Virality

Since March 2024, Hamster Kombat has amassed over 200 million players, positioning itself as a dominant force in Web3 gaming.

Unlike traditional clicker games, Hamster Kombat uses crypto rewards and interactive puzzles to keep its audience engaged and grow its user base.

The latest March 13 cipher challenge requires players to decipher a hidden word daily, using Morse code inputs. The goal seems to be to improve engagement of the users.

The code for Thursday was “STONKS.” Users had to put in enter the correct Morse code format:

• S: ● ● ● (tap, tap, tap)
• T: ▬ (hold)
• O: ▬ ▬ ▬ (hold, hold, hold)
• N: ▬ ● (hold, tap)
• K: ▬ ● ▬ (hold, tap, hold)
• S: ● ● ● (tap, tap, tap)

The challenge allows Hamster Kombat to maintain its virality while solidifying its position in the GameFi sector.
