💎 DOOM, Bums — ready for full-screen
Pavel Durov announced new strategic updates for Telegram mini-apps, including a full-screen mode that will allow developers to create games that could potentially compete with apps in the App Store and Google Play.
🔝 DOOM in Telegram: The first studio to port a game to Telegram was Axiom Game Labs.
Their project practically exploded within the TON community, attracting over 200k players in just one week — without any promises of airdrops or mining mechanics!
⚫️ But what about Bums? While the choice of DOOM makes sense, the selection of the clicker game Bums raises questions. Why Bums over something like Not Pixel or Lost Dogs by Notcoin?
Previously, Durov mentioned projects like Notcoin, Hamster Kombat, and Catizen — all with high user engagement or substantial donations. But what criteria landed Bums on this list?
Yes, Bums has quality artwork and a strong MAU of 12M users.
But for the clicker genre, which many have grown tired of, that might not be enough. We reached out to a representative of the game for more insight.
Furthermore, TOP’s CEO, Andrey Rogozov, showcased a slide at The Gateway featuring nine games post-Notcoin, including Bums.
The unique artwork of the project may have also played a part in Telegram’s selection.
⚫️ Full-Screen Experience: Both DOOM and Bums are designed to provide immersive gameplay in full-screen.
Telegram is clearly pushing forward in the GameFi sector.
Now, it’s not only mini-apps with web3 elements but also classic web2 mobile games.

This could signal Telegram’s shift away from complete TON integration to circumvent traditional marketplace limitations and promote its in-app currency, Telegram Stars.
