Snaky Cat: A Web3 Multiplayer Marvel
Developed by iCandy’s subsidiary studio, Appxplore, Snaky Cat introduces players to a multiplayer Web3 experience where they navigate unique feline characters with snake-like bodies, consuming food to elongate their form. The game pays homage to the simplicity and thrill of classic snake games while integrating Web3 components, enabling users to participate in a cryptocurrency prize pool denominated in TOWER tokens.

The quarterly trading volume of Coinbase, standing at US$92 billion, underscores the significance of the Base chain in the crypto ecosystem.
Snaky Cat: Play-to-Earn Dynamics and TOWER Token Integration
Snaky Cat’s gameplay involves a Play-and-Earn model, requiring players to utilize TOWER tokens and connect their wallets before starting. Players compete for rare power-ups to extend their gameplay timer, avoiding collisions with obstacles and other players. The objective is to become the longest cat, securing a position on the leaderboard and a chance to win TOWER tokens.
As Snaky Cat begins its journey on the Base chain, the collaboration between iCandy, Animoca Brands, and Coinbase sets the stage for a new era in Web3 gaming, blending nostalgia with forward-looking blockchain integration.
