In recent years, the Web3 gaming industry has undergone significant changes. One of the popular categories has been tap-to-earn games, but experts predict their further evolution.
Evolution of tap-to-earn games
According to GeeZee, the head of games at Ethereum network Mantle, we will likely see a shift towards new, simpler mechanics that attempt to capture the core accessibility of tap-to-earn games while offering more varied gameplay. "I anticipate that by 2025, we will see significant growth in swipe-to-earn and jump-to-earn games," GeeZee said.
Hamster Kombat: A game review
One of the most popular games this year is Hamster Kombat, where users play as hamster CEOs managing a virtual cryptocurrency exchange. The game attracted 239 million users in its first 81 days. According to GeeZee, this game is intended for fun and relaxation, not for earning money. "I don't expect to earn from the game; its main value is in the enjoyment of the process," he shared.
Axie Pals and other Web3 novelties
Sky Mavis is releasing products reminiscent of the old Tamagotchis but with Web3 technology. Axie Pals is a browser extension that allows users to take care of their NFTs while online. Jeff Zirlin, co-founder and chief growth officer of Sky Mavis, noted that Axie Pals transforms the user's interaction with Axies. However, some critics mentioned they would like to see more functionality in Axie Pals, such as widgets or quick access buttons.
