Let’s start the last quarter of the year with an update on the play-and-earn NFT game, Crabada, and a round up of the news that shaped Web3’s landscape this October.
In three months, 2022 will come to an end and as we start the last quarter of the year, let us look back at some of the news that made the month of October thrilling. We will also find out the latest with the play-and-earn NFT game, Crabada.
What Is Crabada?
Crabada is an exciting idle play-and-earn NFT game set under the sea. It’s an entirely different world filled with fierce fighting hermit crabs, which are actually NFTs. The exact setting of the game is the prosperous ancient Kingdom of Crabada, and here, players can earn rewards through mining, looting, breeding, battling, exploring, crafting, and more.
Since Crabada is an idle game, players may opt to play it anytime and anywhere they want without disrupting the normal flow of their everyday lives. Aside from being pleasantly enjoyable and the entertainment value it offers, an upside of playing Crabada is the financial value it brings. It features a unique player-versus-player (PvP) infused idle gameplay that revolutionizes play-and-earn games.
As already mentioned, the crabs are the NFTs in this game. Each crab has metadata like stat points, breed count, class type, etc. Since the Crabadas are NFTs, an owner can breed, sell, trade, or do whatever he wants with it. It works like Pokemon, where different class types have weaknesses over other class types.
Recently, Crabada received an update to its gameplay. Specifically, it was a Battle Game v1.1.0 Update, where some game mechanics were changed. Crabada’s v1.1.0 update includes the following:
