US developer Laguna Games and the Crypto Unicorns DAO have announced that they are officially closing down Unicorn Party.
A collection of games based on the Crypto Unicorns IP, Unicorn Party was an attempt to expand the audience by offering simpler gameplay and rewards systems. The sunsetted titles include battle royale Bumpercorns, io-style game Mob Run and quiz game Unicorn Trivia, as well as features such as real-money wagering.
Thinning out to develop new browser and mobile apps designed to be casual but include competitive wagering at the back of flagship game Crypto Unicorns was always going to be challenging. And scaling these mobile and browser games without a lot of marketing has proven tricky.
As for Crypto Unicorns however, it seems to have gained new momentum since migrating from Polygon to relaunch on Xai. Next up the developer is migrating Fall Guys-style casual browser game Rainbow Rumble to the network.
