Key Takeaways
  • The BOMB airdrop claim page and TGE are expected to go live next week.
  • CapyBomb has attracted around 250,000 players since its May 20, 2025, launch.
  • Bombie reached 10 million players in under a year; Catizen saw roughly 50 million.

The long-awaited airdrop from Bombie, a popular play-to-earn game, has been delayed yet again.

The team now says the BOMB token claim page will go live “next week, though it remains unclear whether the token generation event (TGE) will follow as quickly.

In the meantime, attention has shifted to CapyBomb, the spiritual sequel to Bombie, which has already pulled in about 250,000 players in its first week.

Bombie Airdrop

According to the Bombie team , the BOMB token claim page will go live as early as next week.

However, with no confirmed TGE or exchange listings yet, many players remain frustrated by the ongoing delays.

As per the post, the snapshot was locked several days ago, and the “finishing touches” to the claim page are being made.

It also states that they’re in the process of finalizing the BOMB TGE and “top” central exchange listings.

Having already failed to deliver on the “confirmed” May 20 airdrop, the team published its long-overdue whitepaper, which revealed that the team had missed all of its Q1 targets.

Instead, the team has seemingly shifted focus over to CapyBomb, a Bombie sequel that will become its next airdrop title to lure more gamers.

CapyBomb

CapyBomb’s launch hasn’t exactly turned heads.

It plays like a re-skinned Bombie, swapping out zombies for fantasy creatures and replacing the main character with a sword-wielding Capybara.

At its core, though, it’s still the same idle-tapper game that defined its predecessor.

The fanfare that usually follows a big Web3 game release just isn’t there.

Many in the community see CapyBomb less as an exciting sequel and more as a distraction, another shiny object while players continue waiting for the long-promised BOMB airdrop.

Still, CapyBomb does offer one major upgrade: utility for the BOMB token.

Players can use it to unlock gear, power up their characters, and even stake it in-game for potential yield. It’s a key step toward making BOMB more than just airdrop hype.

So far, the numbers look good. According to the CapyBomb Telegram bot and Catizen App Center , about 250,000 players joined in under a week.

But early success doesn’t guarantee long-term loyalty. After a string of missed deadlines and vague updates, trust in the Bombie team is wearing thin, and it’s unclear whether that momentum will last.

This isn’t the first time a Telegram-based game has overpromised and underdelivered.

Bombie’s rocky airdrop rollout follows the missteps of Hamster Kombat and Catizen, both of which left players feeling burned after poor communication and fumbled execution.
