Hamster Kombat is “lighthearted and fun” but tap-to-earn gameplay is evolving; gamers playing 80-hrs a week to win a $100K prize: Web3 Gamer.
The fundamentals of tap-to-earn games are here to stay, but the gameplay is set to evolve a lot over the next year, according to GeeZee, the head of games at Ethereum layer-2 network Mantle.
I anticipate that we will likely see a shift toward new, simple mechanics that attempt to capture the core of tap-to-earn games accessibility while offering more varied gameplay by the end of 2025, GeeZee tells Web3 Gamer.
GeeZee predicts a rise in swipe-to-earn and jump-to-earn games, as they offer more dynamic interactions while keeping the low barrier to entry and high accessibility that made tap-to-earn games popular.
