Telegram has become more than just a space for chats and crypto groups. It is now a place where viral tap-based mini-games are gaining attention. In 2024, Notcoin and Hamster Kombat attracted millions through easy gameplay and airdrop buzz. In 2025, Dragoin ($DDGN) has entered the scene with a different approach: a working game, meme-style branding, and a token model built for long-term value.Let’s compare all three based on gameplay, growth, token setup, and staying power.What’s Driving Growth in Telegram-Based GamesNotcoin launched in January 2024 and grew fast, hitting around 35 million users by March without spending on ads. It used a tap-to-earn game where users collected coins that later became the NOT token. But by early 2025, interest dropped sharply.Hamster Kombat went viral even faster. Launched in March 2024, it reached 150 million users in 77 days, making it one of the quickest-growing apps behind Pokémon GO and Threads. Still, viral growth did not last. Active users dropped to 41 million by November, showing an 86% drop.Dragoin is taking a slower but steady path. Its Telegram mini-game launched in beta during a 25-stage presale. It is focusing on building interest through gameplay and user feedback. The numbers are not as high as NOT or HMSTR yet, but Dragoin is working on player retention from the beginning, not just growth.Comparing Game Styles and Player InvolvementNotcoin’s game was as basic as it gets: just tap to mine. This helped bring in new crypto users but became dull as time went on.Hamster Kombat added more gameplay. Players managed resources, used profit cards, and took on the role of a hamster CEO running a crypto exchange. It gave users more to do, but still became repetitive. Many players also left due to unclear airdrop rules.Dragoin takes a fresh approach. Players guide dragons through challenging paths, collecting “dragoins” and earning real $DDGN tokens. The game offers more than just tapping. It is simple enough for Telegram but active enough to keep users interested. And it is already live in beta with token rewards linked to gameplay.How Projects Keep Users Coming BackNotcoin and Hamster Kombat made crypto simple for many users. But keeping them interested has become hard. Notcoin is now launching “Not Games” to bring people back. Hamster Kombat is planning a second round of airdrops, but both are losing pace.Dragoin is going with a different idea: build a strong community first using gameplay and feedback during its presale. Its presale stages have battle-themed names like “The Fall of Valyria” and “The Battle of the Bastards,” making the experience more fun and engaging.For Dragoin, the game is not just a way to promote the token. It is the main product, and it is already getting attention from players.Which Mini-Game Project Looks Strongest in 2025?Notcoin pulled in users quickly but had trouble keeping them.Hamster Kombat grew faster than most apps but faced issues with keeping players and explaining rewards.Dragoin may be starting small, but it is doing things differently. It offers a live game, a presale with built-in deflation, real token rewards, and a meme theme tied to gameplay.With Telegram now a key space for crypto games, Dragoin could be the one that mixes meme energy with real staying power. And with 25 presale stages moving quickly, those joining early may still find the best crypto to invest in this year.Learn More About Dragoin:Presale: https://purchase.dragoin.io/Website: https://dragoin.io/Telegram: https://t.me/DragoinOfficialTwitter: https://x.com/DragoinOfficialDisclaimer: This is a paid post and should not be treated as news/advice.
