If you haven’t managed to click a couple million NOTs yet and missed the hype around Hamster Kombat, there’s good news: the excitement around clicker games isn’t dying down, and you can still get in on the projects that are just starting to gain popularity.

The concept of tap games is simple: by performing simple actions in the Telegram application, the user earns in-game currency, which can be spent on expanding the functionality of the game and/or accumulating coins in anticipation of their listing on the exchange and further growth of the project.

Not all tap-tap games are worth your time. It’s worth choosing projects that are launched by teams with a reputation in the industry, have received support from major players in the sector, and have shown rapid growth. Here are a few games worth paying attention to.

OKX Racer

OKX Racer — a gaming mini-application in Telegram, developed by the OKX crypto exchange. This is the first such project created by a major crypto exchange. In the first day after its launch, OKX Racer attracted more than 1.2 million users.

The essence of the game is to predict the movement of the bitcoin price over a five-second interval. The user needs to click on the red button, predicting a decrease in the price of bitcoin, or on the green button, predicting the growth of the coin. Players receive points for correct predictions. These points can be spent on improvements in the game: increasing the number of points earned or increasing the volume of the gas tank, which provides the player with fuel to make a forecast.

OKH also promises “surprises” to those who link their exchange account to the mini-application.

DOGS

DOGS — a mini-application that has no game plot and does not require the user to click. Points are awarded for the age of the Telegram account and the presence of a premium account. The number of users in DOGS has already exceeded 10 million.

When registering in the application, the user receives welcome bonuses. The earlier he registers in the messenger, the higher his reward. Then he needs to log in to the application every day and get additional points. Premium account holders receive an additional 300 coins. In the DOGS bot, you can link your TON wallet and get bonuses for it. Rewards are also awarded for inviting friends.

BLUM

Blum — a tap-to-earn game that is set to become a hybrid cryptocurrency service in Telegram, including an exchange platform, a wallet, and token management tools. The app was created by former top managers of the Russian division of the Binance exchange — Vladimir Smerkis, Gleb Kostarev, and Vladimir Maslyakov. In the spring, it was among the winners of the seventh season of the Most Valuable Builder accelerator, held by Binance Labs.

The essence of the game is as follows: participants need to catch flowers falling on the screen and at the same time not hit the bombs, for clicks on which the points are reduced. Users can get additional bonuses for completing tasks, for example, subscribing to Telegram channels, inviting friends and watching videos on YouTube. Also, for regularly visiting the application and starting farming through the Start Farming button, users are awarded a little more than 57 Blum points once every 8 hours. If you take a break from the game, the number of admissions to the game with flowers decreases.

Catizen

Catizen ― a mini-game in Telegram for cat lovers, which has already gathered more than 26 million users. During the game, participants breed cats and complete various tasks. In the future, the project team plans to convert the points received by players into CATI tokens. Users will receive 41% of the total token emission.

The Catizen team also developed tools that allow other developers to easily launch their games on Telegram and the TON platform. Telegram creator Pavel Durov commented on the team’s success: “Well done, Catizen team – now I’m waiting for you to develop Dogizen!”

Additionally, of the $16 million earned from in-app boost purchases, 1% was donated to help homeless cats.

YesCoin

YesCoin — a game in Telegram, which is different in that you need to move your finger across the screen instead of clicking. By mid-July 2024, it already has more than 10 million users. Players can earn extra points for inviting friends, as well as use special boosts that increase the efficiency of Yescoin mining.

Recently, the game became available through the official wallet of the OKX exchange. This is an important stage for the project, as the OKX exchange is an active partner of the TON ecosystem and was one of the first platforms on which NOT began to be traded.
