"Web3 Mini Games 4399 - Thinking About the Elympics Model? How Else Can Gamefi Be Played?"



Recently researching the gaming ecosystem of ETH, I imagined that the revival of GameFi could lead ETH to soar again, but contrary to my expectations, the more I hurried to find opportunities, the more I felt like a headless fly bumping around.

However, during the process of randomly hitting obstacles, I also gained something, as I came across a quite interesting game project — Elympics. I would like to call it the Love Olympics, as it is quite similar to the 4399 game platform I played when I was young, which sparked some thoughts I have about gamefi games.

The games on the Ailin Pik platform are basically multiplayer competitive mini-games that are easy to pick up, whether it's 21 points, 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 be able to tell that this is a web3 project. The simple and straightforward competition will enhance the game's playability, but sometimes accessing web games in the cloud can be a bit laggy.

The platform's token model is also very aggressive, where players spend their own token (ELP) to enter, and the winner takes all, allowing developers to profit from it. This type of token can be produced and sold by itself, and the entire token can circulate within its own ecosystem.

Another interesting point is that they have linked mini-games with popular IPs, for example, Pengu Clash incorporates the Pengu penguin into a bumper car game, allowing Web3 IPs to be used 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 their own mini-game tokens. Several mini-games have already been released.

In order to establish a good binding with TON's Mini App, the current token supports both EVM and TON chains. Everyone can go and try it out, there are games that give away free game coins.

This mode reminds me of the games I played on Steam - Pummel Party or Nintendo's Monopoly, where you roll dice to move around the map collecting stars, and each round ends with competitive mini-games, big competitions leading to small ones.

In comparison, the pure Elympics mode has no issues, but it may lack a bit of surprise, just like I wouldn’t want to choose mini-games from Monopoly or Pummel Party; I would prefer to be randomly assigned mini-games to play.

Uncertainty is the key to fun, and sometimes players are passive.

I personally think that combining the format of Monopoly with Elympics could evolve into something more interesting, and it could also enrich the ecological use value of tokens through the Monopoly model.
