Flappy Bird Takes Flight on Telegram
The Flappy Bird Foundation, which acquired the game’s trademark after it was deemed abandoned, partnered with Notcoin to bring the game into The Open Network (TON) ecosystem, a popular blockchain for Telegram-based games. This partnership hints at a potential FLAP token launch, though specifics remain undisclosed. However, the relaunch has sparked controversy due to the original creator’s absence from this new venture.
Dookey Dash: Unclogged Hits New Highs
Yuga Labs, the creators of the Bored Ape Yacht Club, along with partner studio Faraway, have released Dookey Dash: Unclogged. This sequel to the NFT-gated original is now available as a free-to-play title across multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, Mac, and PC. The game features three monthlong seasons where players compete for the coveted “Golden Plunger” and a chance to win part of a $1 million prize pool in the end-of-season tournament. Its popularity is already soaring, as shown by its rapid rise in the iOS game charts.
Hamster Kombat’s Strategic Interlude
As Hamster Kombat gears up for its token launch and airdrop, the game concluded its first season and introduced an ‘interlude season’. This interim period offers a simplified version of the game with a startup-centric theme, where players can earn diamonds that provide advantages for the upcoming season. This strategic move keeps the community engaged while setting the stage for the next full season.
Project Tau Ceti: A New Frontier
The team behind the popular NFT trading card game Parallel is expanding their universe with Project Tau Ceti, a 3D first-person shooter set on a sci-fi planet.
