Addictive mobile game Flappy Bird has returned, a decade since its original creator removed it from app stores, reportedly because it was ‘too addictive’.

The tappy game is now live as a Telegram mini-game, which is being published by Notcoin, the IP having being acquired by the Flappy Bird Foundation Group.

The game has now launched with season one of its Flap-a-TON event highlighting the game’s crypto credentials as part of Telegram’s TON blockchain.

No wallet is required to play, although activity during the event will allow players to participate in a free minting event for the game’s FLAPPY token.

“Telegram is becoming an important field for app and game developers to create a new level of communication with users. Well-known brands and IPs like Flappy Bird are important to make this journey more recognisable and exciting for users. IP market is a significant part of modern culture; we’re glad to make this first step. And we’re welcoming IPs to work with Telegram and TON via Notcoin,” commented Notcoin founder Sasha Plotvinov.

“Launching on Telegram is the perfect runway for the return of the game, with the platform now recognized as the premier destination for web3 gaming. With the support of Telegram, our community, and the 200 million gamers already on the platform, Flappy Bird’s takeoff into web3 looks more than promising,” commented Michael Roberts, one of figures behind the new version.

As part of the IP acquisition, the Flappy Bird Foundation Group also got rights to the Piou Piou vs. Cactus game, which inspired Flappy Bird, and its creator Kek has been working on the Telegram version.

However, Flappy Bird’s creator Dong Nguyen has been more critical, saying he’s not involved, nor does he “support crypto”.

As well as launching on Telegram, the new version of Flappy Bird will also go live via mobile app stores and on browser in 2025, including with new game modes, cosmetics and progression systems.

In the meantime, however, the only way to play and collect rewards now is on Telegram.

After several years of development, Guild of Guardians is ready to officially open their doors with a game launch scheduled for May 15th, 2024! And the GoG team plans to hit the ground running, pairing the launch with an event in Discord, an AMA with the team, a special giveaway, and a series of weekly prize events!

The official launch time for Guild of Guardians is May 15th, 2024, at 10am AEDT! Thirty minutes later, at 10:30am AEST, the Guild of Guardians team will hold a special launch event on their Discord server, which includes an AMA with the team and some sort of secret, special giveaway.

Later today (May 14th), the cinematic trailer will debut. This should go live on YouTube at 8:30pm EST.

Guild of Guardians will run in a seasonal format. And with this launch we begin Act 1: Age of Dread. This first season will include significant play and earn opportunities, with over $1 million in prizes offered for various leaderboards!

The game will feature an ‘endless’ leaderboard as well as arena and boss rush challenges. Players are allowed two free daily runs (with the option to purchase two more) for the main leaderboard. There will be weekly rewards as well as a monthly prize.

Then there will be daily Arena and Boss runs as well (limited to five runs per day). Rewards for the leaderboards include Ascendent Seals, GOG tokens, and NFTs. Ascendent Seals are an in-game currency used to mint new NFTs.

You can pre-order Guild of Guardians on the Apple store and through Google Play for Android devices. The game is free. I guess pre-ordering will just let you install it as soon as it launches?

Rewards for Regional Server Test Players

Guild of Guardians has been running regional servers for some time now. But May 15th will herald their global launch. And as such, the regional servers have been taken offline temporarily, and all player progress has been wiped (aside from items purchased with fiat currency). Guild of Guardians will hand out Ruby tokens to those who played on the regional servers and reached at least commander level 10.

What is Guild of Guardians?

Guild of Guardians is a fantasy, dungeon crawler, auto-battler game. Players gather a team of characters to enter dungeons, battle monsters, defeat dangerous bosses, and score some sweet loot! The game will be free to play and built for mobile devices first.

Characters level up, gain new abilities, and gather gear to increase their power. Players fight through dungeons and other challenges to rise up the ranks of the leaderboards and earn valuable prizes.

All players will have access to the game characters without needing to own any NFTs, but NFT characters will receive additional bonuses. Players will be able to mint NFTs from the game using a resource known as Ascendent Seals.

Guild of Guardians runs on the Immutable zxEVM network and is one of the first games to fully integrate the Immutable Passport.

GoG used to be a more action-oriented game, but pivoted about eighteen months ago into an auto-battler. Guild of Guardians recently posted a video explaining their game.

The waiting is coming to an end! NFT Bunny is ready to launch. Here’s a date to mark on your calendar: 31 January. 

Just under two more weeks of waiting and the platform will be live. In the meantime, the team has released a preview of what it will look like. 

NFT Bunny preview

NFT Bunny will be NFT’s first social marketplace. At launch on 31 January, users will be able to access a full-fledged NFT pinboard. 

Clicking or searching for an individual artist will land them on the desired profile and they will first see the NFTs created by that artist. 

You will also be able to see those for sale and those owned but not for sale.

The social wall will be added later.  

As you can see from this preview, which takes the profile of the COO Ilaria Stirpe as an example, you will be able to see the number of NFTs created and followers. The wall shows the most interesting NFTs, to the right is a list of users with whom you can chat, and at the top are further suggested NFTs. 

Many new features coming soon

The launch of the platform is just one of many new features on NFT Bunny. 

The BUN token, whose presale ended on 6 January, will soon be announced. The methods for claiming the token for those who took part in the private sale and for those who took part in the giveaways will be announced. 

Another news concerns the Italian community: a Telegram channel exclusively dedicated to them has been opened, which integrates the official channel where the community can interact using the English language.

The countdown has officially begun. NFT Bunny is coming. In the meantime, keep following us on our channels.
