Created in partnership with Elympics, a multichain infrastructure layer dedicated to blockchain gaming, Pengu Clash features characters from the NFT collection, with gamers allowed to dress their Penguins and participate in an assortment of minigames like football and darts.
Announcing the game in May, Elympics co-founder Tom Kopera said the game follows web3 gamings path toward higher-quality experiences driven by real users, adding that it points to a future where blockchain games offer experiences [that] players actually enjoy.
Gameplay, Not Clicks
Elympics CEO Michal Dabrowski told Blockworks that the Pudgy Clash differs from clicker-based Telegram games by offering actual gameplay. Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz disclosed that the project opted to host the game on TON instead of its own Ethereum scaling layer , Abstract , because they want Pengu Clash to become the face of crypto.
Netz, however, noted that there are plans to also launch the game on Abstract. Pudgy Clashs mini launch comes eight months after the NFT project partnered with Mythical Games to create Pudgy Party , another blockchain game.
With Pudgy Clash open to a select few, Pudgy Penguins will likely conduct a full launch before the end of Q3.
