This Week in Crypto Games: Your Weekend Roundup
The crypto gaming space is buzzing with energy, and there’s no slowing down. With new game releases, token airdrops, and an endless stream of updates, it can feel overwhelming to keep up. But fear not—Decrypt’s GG has your back.
Welcome to This Week in Crypto Games, where we round up the biggest stories and highlights from the past week. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer or just crypto-curious, here’s everything you need to know.
Dogecoin’s First Full-Fledged Game
Elon Musk’s beloved meme coin, Dogecoin, took center stage last week, fueled by the release of the retro-style brawler Super Doginals.
This game has a unique twist: it’s fully inscribed on the Dogecoin blockchain via the Doginals protocol, which enables users to embed artwork, code, and text directly onto the network. Touted as the “first full-fledged game on Dogecoin,” it’s already making waves.
Gameplay Highlights
Super Doginals channels the nostalgic vibes of classics like Streets of Rage and Fatal Fury. Players can pick from three characters—including two anthropomorphic Shiba Inu dogs—and take on meme-inspired foes such as apes, cats, and frogs in side-scrolling beat-’em-up battles.
Major Token Launch: A Date to Remember
Major, the popular Telegram gaming and engagement app, has finally announced the launch of its highly anticipated token on The Open Network (TON). The countdown ends on November 28 at 12 PM UTC.
Why It Matters
For months, players have been grinding in Major, hoping to earn a slice of the eventual token airdrop. The game itself is a stripped-down take on the tap-to-earn genre, which has dominated Telegram gaming. Unlike competitors such as Hamster Kombat, Major fully embraces its viral engagement mechanics, becoming more of a social engagement tool than a traditional game.
Expect the token launch to trigger a frenzy among crypto gamers.
Off the Grid: Big Rewards and Bigger Tournaments
