Pudgy Penguins’ new mobile battle royale, Pudgy Party, blends NFT IP with fun, accessible gameplay. Partnered with Mythical Games, it’s a bold step to bring Web3 to casual gamers. Get started playing in 3 minutes 👇 ~~ Analysis by @wmpeaster ~~ The Pudgy Party Playbook @pudgypenguins, with billions of GIPHY views and millions of toys sold at retailers like Walmart, have clear mainstream appeal. Pairing these characters with a proven gaming genre could lead to significant success. Pudgy Party builds on this potential, adapting the Fall Guys mini-games battler format for the Pudgy Penguins universe. Players compete in rounds of fighting, racing, and dodging to be the last Penguin standing, earning new powers and tradable NFT cosmetics. This approach leverages the addictive, casual fun of Fall Guys, a standout game from the past five years, and combines it with Pudgy Penguins' IP and tradable skins. A Mythical Build Developed by Mythical Games, known for NFL Rivals and FIFA Rivals, Pudgy Party uses @playmythical's Mythos Chain, built on Polkadot technology, for its NFT assets and marketplace. The game simplifies crypto elements, allowing players to jump in without blockchain knowledge. For those interested in trading NFT cosmetics, creating a Mythical account at mythical (dot) market and linking it in-game enables buying and selling in the Pudgy Party marketplace, potentially requiring $MYTH to shop. Getting Started To play, download the Pudgy Party app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. After confirming age and graphics settings, a brief tutorial covers movement, character control, and app navigation. Your first multiplayer battle earns a cosmetic reward, a loot chest, and Pudgy Power points. As you play, tickets unlock cosmetic upgrades like stronger jumps or fireball abilities, setting it apart from Fall Guys' lack of customizable powers. A $2.99 Pro Pass offers premium rewards, like rare loot chests, using fish collected in-game. Zooming Out Pudgy Party is genuinely enjoyable for casual play. As a console gamer, I found its mobile controls intuitive, and its crypto elements are subtle enough for non-crypto players to enjoy. With 500k downloads in two weeks, the game shows early promise. Its success could demonstrate how NFT brands can expand into mainstream gaming, making it worth watching.
