Whack-a-Tate: The most fun game on Polygon
Whack-a-Tate is a super simple, beginner friendly, and fun play-to-earn meme game, with the goal of being a low friction and enjoyable entry point into Web3 for millions of people.
About
The problem it solves Getting people into Web3 is hard. Getting them to download their first non-custodial wallet is painful. But Web3 is beautiful. And perhaps loosing money buying shitcoins is not the only way to get in. Our goal is to build an entire arcade of super simple, beginner friendly, and shareable on-chain experiences to bring as many new people into the Web3 world as possible. With Whack-a-Tate, the value proposition is obvious. A user does not need to understand crypto to understand how the game works. We believe that if we can simplify the experience as much as possible, and create experiences that are fun enough, and shareable enough to go viral, our games could be worth the initial friction of getting a user onboarded into Web3.
How it's made
Challenges we ran into 1. Ensuring all the three components (web, games and blockchain) work in sync. 2. On chain distribution of rewards based of the scores a user has got. 3. Ensuring the product experience isn't limited by device or browser based limitations. 4. Ensuring safe server client communication via encryption Due to time constraints, the front end code was reused from a previous project
