FlappyMoonbird (FMB): Bird-Themed Metaverse for Casual Gamers

The multibillion-dollar gaming industry has continued to find its way into blockchain as it seeks innovative ways to entertain its enthusiasts. However, the GameFi niche is populated by sophisticated games such as Star Atlas and Vulcan Forged, which require high costs and long development cycles.

There’s also a need for casual games, which Web 2.0 users are accustomed to since the gameplay is similar to that of traditional games. Furthermore, such casual games require low costs to produce and play, without the need to purchase costly in-game tokens to play.

One such gaming platform that offers casual web3 games is FlappyMoonbird. It’s designed to combine blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) to provide both Web 2.0 and web3 users with a casual gaming experience. 

Let’s explore the FlappyMoonbird gaming metaverse.

Key Takeaways:

• FlappyMoonbird approaches GameFi by creating unique, casual and entertaining games that combine AI, web3 and NFTs.

• The project has already launched two games and released an AI-based version of “Monopoly.”

• According to the project’s road map, the team hopes to release about 20 casual GameFi projects by the close of 2023.

What Is FlappyMoonbird?

FlappyMoonbird is a bird-themed gaming metaverse that provides exceptional gameplay through a wide array of casual games. The gaming platform aims to provide players with a simple gaming experience through casual games that lack the complicated mechanics of more sophisticated GameFi platforms.

Developed by Helix Table, a partner of French video game developer and publisher Voodoo, FlappyMoonbird intends to launch over 20 casual games in 2023. Its first casual GameFi project is FlappyMoonbird, which is free to play and is compatible with multiple chains. Other games include Racing Birds and AI Birdnopoly, an AI-powered blockchain version of the classic game.

FlappyMoonbird also has different types of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that grant users various rights and access to different games. Players are also rewarded with FMB tokens via the casual play-to-earn model.

FlappyMoonbird Gameplay

FlappyMoonbird is dedicated to creating fun and excellent casual games powered by web3. All you’ll need to do to play is register, play, get rewarded, and participate in a ranking contest. Currently, three games are available on the platform (with more to come). They are:

FlappyMoonbird

FlappyMoonbird was the first game to be launched by the FlappyMoonbird platform. It’s a free-to-play GameFi casual game that lets players earn simply by getting their Moonbirds to avoid obstacles while flying. The game is designed using H5 lightweight pages, so you can play it from anywhere — including your mobile browser — and across social platforms such as Line, WhatsApp and WeChat. You can play the game for free by simply logging in to your MetaMask or Bybit Wallet.

Racing Birds

The second game on FlappyMoonbird is Racing Birds, which consists of a global network of birds who battle each other. The last bird standing is rewarded using treasure boxes and FMB tokens, among other rewards. The game has various modes, as follows:

• Ladder mode — Genesis NFT holders are rewarded using FMB tokens for completing daily tasks.

• Racing Birds — Requires a small fee (as low as 3 FMBs) to compete and win eggs as rewards.

• Racing Birds RACETRACK — In this mode, players get to predict who will win the first two spots in the bird race, and are rewarded with up to 1,000 FMB for correct guesses.

• Racing Birds ARENA — A player makes predictions of a single winner or multiple winners, and is rewarded with up to 600 FMB for correct guesses.

• AI Bird Gameplay — As a Genesis NFT holder playing in this mode, you can optimize and strategize your predictions for Solo and Arena racing birds using AI-assisted automation.

AI Birdnopoly

FlappyMoonbird has recreated the traditional Monopoly board game by adding elements of web3 and artificial intelligence to come up with AI Birdnopoly (Bird-Monopoly). As in Monopoly, you interact with other players, using FMB tokens to buy and trade properties or build facilities.

What Are FlappyMoonbird NFTs?

NFTs are a critical component in the FlappyMoonbird gaming ecosystem. Using the various NFTs in the games, you can earn various rewards and access certain features to assist in your gameplay.

The first NFTs to launch in the game were Genesis Birds NFTs, which are built on Ethereum and have a total supply of 3,000. Each one possesses various attributes, such as weight, stability, agility and luck, which you can use for activities like pet training and racing, and even feeding for increased stamina.

As a Genesis Bird NFT holder, you can unlock various perks:

• An airdrop of 3,000 FMB tokens

• Increased chances of winning by raising and upgrading a bird

• Access to the AI bird function that helps you optimize your prediction strategies

• Ability to reproduce a next-generation bird

• Vting rights to FlappyMoonbird’s DAO governance

Other NFTs on FlappyMoonbird are Flappy Nest, Rare Bird, Treasure Box, Flappy Mystery Box and Flappy Keys.

The total supply of FMB tokens is one billion. Some of these were unlocked through a token generation event (TGE), while the others have varying cliff and vesting periods. FMB token distribution is as follows:

Is FlappyMoonbird a Good Investment?

As cutthroat as the GameFi niche is, FlappyMoonbird has taken a unique approach by going for casual games that are fun and rewarding. The project’s simple approach of merging web3 with traditional gaming through simple, NFT-powered games is a good angle.

Having successfully raised a total of $8 million in financing from Link Venture Capital and FBG Capital, the project is keen on growing its ecosystem and launching about 20 games by the end of 2023. Of this amount, the project has allocated $2 million toward designing and developing its AI version of Monopoly, AI Birdnopoly, with a demo already out.

FlappyMoonbird’s incorporation of AI into some of its gameplay modes is also innovative. While the technology is revolutionizing almost every tech sector, few GameFi projects are incorporating it into gameplays. FlappyMoonbird is the first casual gaming platform to do so.

FlappyMoonbird looks to be a good investment over time, due to its innovative approach to gaming coupled with sound tokenomics. As the gaming platform continues to design and incorporate more games into its ecosystem, you’ll get more value from its FMB tokens as utility increases.

That said, our views aren’t financial advice and we highly recommend that you do your own research before investing in it.

You can buy FMB tokens on the Bybit exchange from its Spot trading terminal (FMB/USDT). You’ll need to create an account with Bybit in order to start trading FMB and other digital assets on Bybit’s fast, secure and user-friendly platform.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re a casual gamer or a more advanced one, you’ll find FlappyMoonbird’s games fun and entertaining. By targeting low-cost gaming, the project hopes to attract both Web 2.0 and web3 blockchain gaming enthusiasts.

The addition of AI and a variety of web3 elements into its bird-themed game world makes FlappyMoonbird's games easy to play from your mobile or PC browser. For sure, FlappyMoonbird will be a project to watch as more people get into the GameFi space in search of innovative and fun ways to game.
