Web3 mini-games' 4399 — Thoughts on Elympics mode? How else can Gamefi be played?
Recently, I've been researching the gaming ecosystem of ETH, imagining that the revival of Gamefi could lead to ETH soaring again, but contrary to my expectations, the more I rush to find opportunities, the more I feel like a headless fly bumping around.
However, in the process of randomly hitting walls, I did gain some insights and came across a rather interesting game project — Elympics, which I would like to call the "Love Olympics." It resembles the 4399 gaming platform I used to play as a child, sparking some thoughts about Gamefi games.
The games on the Love Olympics platform are basically those multiplayer competitive mini-games that are easy to pick up, whether it's Blackjack, Flappy Bird (Pepe), or Kitty Cross; they have integrated Crypto elements into their platform games.
If it weren't for the need to connect a wallet, I wouldn't even realize this is a Web3 project. The straightforward competitive nature enhances the playability of the games, although sometimes accessing web games in the cloud can be a bit laggy.
The platform's token model is also quite aggressive; players spend their own tokens (ELP) to register, and the winner takes all, with developers profiting from it. This type of token can be self-produced and sold, allowing the entire token to circulate within its own ecosystem.
Another interesting point is that they have tied mini-games to currently popular IPs, such as Pengu Clash, which features the Pengu penguin in a bumper car game, allowing Web3 IPs to be utilized in games. Flappy Pepe and Doge Master are also classic evolutions of Crypto IP.
Developers can also use the SDK provided by the platform to create their own games and issue tokens for their unique mini-games, with several mini-games already released.
To ensure a good integration with TON's Mini App, the current token supports both EVM and TON chains. Everyone can try playing; there are games that give out free game coins.
This model reminds me of the games I played on Steam — Pummel Party or Nintendo's Monopoly, where you roll dice to move around the board collecting stars, and at the end of each round, there are competitive mini-games, big competitions within small competitions.
In comparison, while the pure Elympics model is not problematic, it may lack a bit of surprise, just like I don't want to choose mini-games from Monopoly or Pummel Party; I prefer to be randomly assigned to play mini-games.
Uncertainty is the key to fun; sometimes players are passive.
I personally think that combining the Monopoly format with Elympics could evolve into something more interesting and could also enrich the ecological use value of tokens through the Monopoly model.
