Pixels The Hottest Non-Telegram Game
Games on the TON blockchain have seen quite a buzz in recent months, but with Pixels there is a popular game that is not relying on Telegram. And with its Chapter 2 upgrade things just got more interesting.
Founder Luke Barwikowski told Decrypt that the changes are quite substantial. While the game attracted millions of new users in several months, Barwikowski said for him and his team, the changes are about fixing “some of the issues” they encountered in the past few years.

The developers also want to encourage and reward long-term players rather than casual gamers and provide a much deeper user experience. However, Barwikowski also admitted the team was still working out where the overall direction of the game is going to be.
What’s cool is that we don’t know what the metagame is going to be. This is also part of the experimentation. The team is basically all-hands-on-deck for the next month or two after the release to do a ton of live ops.
