Blum, Hamster Kombat and other hyped miniapps keep loosing their players! Why? Where? Is Tap2Earn dead already?
Do you recall my humble attempt to analyse the market of Tap2Earn games? Well I have a bit more sophisticated data for you this time from different source.
Top 10 games lost dozens of millions of monthly users last 30 days. Case solved. Tap2Earn is dead! Not so fast, round boy! At least 8 miniApps in top 100 sucked this users as a vacuum cleaner.
Dropee
On the first glance it has taps, cards, spins, tasks – the very same tool set other games have. But this one has a spinning wheel of luck with USDT drops. Too bad minimum withdrawal is 10 USDT and lots of users won’t make it
HamsterKombat: GameDev
Game developer simulator from Hamster Kombat devs. Slightly different mechanics, same logic. So a million of users just switched the game inside of Hamster Verse
Major
Unfortunately I couldn’t evaluate the game fully as some parts of it is not operable. But seems it has swaps, NFTs and gambling games.
Duck x My x Duck
Feed ducks to get bux and NFTs – tap meets merge meets breed and NFT market. Pretty solid experience with more options rather than classic Tap2Earn game has.
Random Gift
As it reads… Spin the wheel to get random reward and probably telegram gift… For a small fee.
Xworld
Game Launchpad – play games to earn rewards all in one place. Fair enough. Why to play one tappable when you can have a pile of other games.
100 Million
Not really sure why it’s popular apart from 40$ promised instantly.
Animal Village
Full fledged farming game. This one is actually interesting because it’s made with Unity engine meaning real Game Devs are entering the miniApps arena. This actually means 2 things. First, more professional players invest their time and money in the sphere. Second, miniApps is a proved way of getting players attention along with Google and App Store and even console and PC gaming domain. Wen triple A games on Telegram?
There are also 5 more apps that recently vastly drained users:
Gift Box – Random gift clone app. Free stuff is what people really-really want
Treasury – Some cryptic mysterious application with hints and clues
Hamster Boost – An app from Hamster Kombat Verse – 1 of 4
Lucid Dreams and Anychars – AI girlfriends that every tapper misses. And yes, I reviewed them too! Judge me! Chatbots are cute and playful but images reminded me it’s all fake. *sigh*
Conclusion
For me it seems like miniApp market is maturing. More sophisticated games come out – it’s not enough to keep users engaged simply by promising them rewards in a couple of months during listing. App descriptions prove it – new games promise users “no more nonsense listing waitings”
More and more pro devs come to the scene providing better experience. I will later finalize another post about 5 games with mechanics different than silly tappings to explore what is possible in Telegram miniApp world. Stay tuned!
At the same time the promise of free money still works. Cover it with some mystery properly and you will have the magical blend that attracts millions.
