New York, NY, April 4, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Puff verse, the company behind the adorable Puff NFTs introduced late last year on the BNB Chain, has recently rolled out the official version of its PuffGo game after months in beta mode. This launch came a few months after the company launched its original Puff Genesis NFT collection and the Puff Football NFTs.
PuffGo is a chained multiplayer royale game, with multi-level themes and game modes that give players a choice of matchups from solo to multiplayer. “PuffGo’s launch is just the first step in our comprehensive plan to connect Web 3 play-to-earn oriented players with the more conventional Web 2 traditional players and to bridge the gap between Web 3 gaming with the metaverse and the era of user-driven content,” the company said in a statement about the recent launch.
What is Puff verse?
Puff verse was first introduced to the public in late 2022, with the launch of minting for Puff Tickets. The team then introduced their first collection of 2,500 NFTs, most of which went to the lucky winners of the free coin lottery. The NFTs, called Puff Genesis, belong to five different character types, and each NFT asset is unique with a random combination of eight parts.
According to their website, Puff verse is a “multi-end interactive universe that uses characters in the form of NFT resources for multiple scenarios.” The company identified four main products:
● PuffGo, a casual multiplayer royale game
● PuffTown, a Web 3 control panel for all Puffverse related products
● PuffLand, a user-generated content platform for creating games without the need for technical knowledge
● PuffWorld, a user-generated content platform for creating 3D metaverse that has a decentralized ID system and SocialFi, Puffverse’s version of socially powered DeFi.
The Puff verse has since introduced alpha and beta versions of PuffGo and PuffTown. The team also launched two more limited editions of its Puff NFTs: Puff Football NFTs and Puff New Year NFTs, which debuted as part of a Lunar New Year promotion for Puff verse society. All of these NFTs come in the form of one of the five characters in the game’s story: Patty the dinosaur, Claude the cloud, Ashe the shooting star, Bill Duck, and Pop the fish with legs.
After launching PuffGo, Puff verse says it plans to introduce new features to PuffGo and PuffTown in the 2nd quarter of this year. Later, the team set out to create PuffLand in Q3 and PuffWorld in Q4.
What you can expect from PuffGo
PuffGo is a competitive gaming app where players participate in many types of casual games such as obstacle courses, races, battle royales, mazes and more. Players collect game characters with different looks, personalities, abilities, and costumes, and these characters will have different perks based on the game modes they are in.
In the Web 2 field, Stumble Guys and Fall Guys are competitors to PuffGo. They are excellent company games and have high daily income, but PuffGo is not just a game, but a MetaFi project, and it is only a small part and the appetite for Puff verse. The focus is on PuffLand and PuffWorld.
Unlike in PuffGo’s alpha and beta versions, where only Puff NFT holders can play the game, the official version of the app also allows non-NFT holders to play. Even without a Puff NFT, users will still receive coins by practicing skills in PuffGo, especially at the beginner-friendly entry level. The game also has High Level and Advanced Level modes for more experienced players. In-game coins are required to access High Level, while users must own at least 1 Puff NFT and use it to get free chances to access Advanced Level.
There are different rewards corresponding to PuffGo’s game levels. In-game coins (off-chain) can be earned at all levels and used to access high-level games. Winning at a high level gives players a chance to earn an egg that can be hatched into a Puff General NFT, which comes with a one-time supply of free chances that can be used to access advanced level play. At advanced level, players earn ranking points in the form of vePUFF, based on their in-game performance. In this mode, higher ranking and vePUFF earned translate into opportunities to earn more, in the form of in-game rewards and the PUFF crypto-token when it eventually launches.
If players own non-General PUFF NFTs, they also earn free chances every game season (every 14 days) in PuffGo. Players can also purchase passes in the PuffTown app to get more advanced level entry times.
With this system in place, PuffGo allows non-NFT holders to play their part in earning an NFT, albeit with other benefits from the Genesis, Football or New Year versions of Puff NFTs. PuffGo also motivates players based on their in-game skills, a principle that Puff verse calls Skill to Earn. It is also a great way to welcome the large user base from the Web 2 field to enter the crypto world.
What does Puff verse Different?
Unlike other traditional GameFi projects, the team believes that the P2E model is likely to fail because only early investors can earn large rewards, while late investors’ assets will be damaged. Skill-to-earn comes with a ranking system, as mentioned above, where users can compete with each other, and the top ranks will get rewards. So, instead of P2E, Skill-to-Earn is more like a marketing campaign and incentive at regular intervals. The main tokenomics focuses on PuffTown, PuffLand and PuffWorld. Play-to-Own comes with vePUFF, while all output will be in the form of vePUFF instead of PUFF itself. vePUFF has a strong DeFi feature that can profit from the protocol itself (e.g. it shares a portion of the protocol revenue with vePUFF holders).
Skill to Earn is one of the two Web3 game concepts that Puff verse introduces, the other is Play to Own. In the PuffGo game, Skill to Earn means players use their skills to gain more rewards, while Play to Own allows non-NFT holders to play their part in owning a Puff NFT.
With its system to entertain and reward both Web3 and non-Web3 players, PuffGo seeks to bridge the gap between traditional games and Web3 games. But beyond these principles and systems, PuffGo aims to be a fun, exciting game that appeals to everyone and serves as a good addition to the list of Web3 games that use the BNB Chain.
Meanwhile, Puff verse‘s roadmap for its products indicates that Web3 gaming is the starting point for the 3D metaverse that is planned to roll out before the end of this year. For people who are interested in the game and what the future holds Puff verse and its community, they can download PuffGo via App Store/TestFlight, Google Play Store and Xiaomi’s GetsApp.
