Moonray Launches Play-to-Airdrop Campaign
Moonray, a sci-fi arena combat game, has launched a play-to-airdrop campaign concurrent with its debut on the Epic Games Store. This initiative aims to engage players and ascend the store's leaderboards ahead of its Ethereum token launch. Successful participants in the campaign will receive the game's native MNRY tokens, subject to regional restrictions.
More About Moonray
Set in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi world, Moonray blends intense combat with a deep narrative—melding elements of multiplayer, shooter, and RPG experiences. Players navigate a world that has endured an apocalypse, echoing a once-vibrant culture. The storyline revolves around earning favors from the gods, infusing a mythical dimension into combat and exploration, all powered by the Ethereum blockchain.
Play-to-Airdrop Campaign Mechanics
Participants are challenged to rank in the top half of five games daily, progressing through the airdrop campaign akin to popular battle pass systems like Fortnite. Those achieving top 1,000 rankings will receive substantial bonuses.
To enhance their chances, players can engage in weekly social challenges contributing additional credits toward the airdrop. Participation also enters them into a raffle to win a high-end gaming PC. Owners of Moonray's Foundation NFT, released on Ethereum in 2022, qualify for additional airdrop bonuses and a future undisclosed reward. Registration for the campaign is free and open to all.
MNRY Token and Participation Restrictions
Following the campaign's conclusion, successful players will receive MNRY tokens, designed to enrich the gaming experience. However, the campaign lacks a specified end date. Notably, U.S. residents are excluded from the token drop due to regulatory considerations, a common restriction in many airdrop campaigns.
Strategic Launch on Epic Games Store
The play-to-airdrop campaign coincides with Moonray's launch on the Epic Games Store, boasting a user base of 75 million monthly active players. This strategic move aligns with trends among crypto games, evidenced by successful launches like BloodLoop and Nyan Heroes. Nyan Heroes, a hero shooter with a unique feline twist, achieved acclaim by ranking among the store's top 30 games with over 200,000 downloads.
Evolution of Moonray IP and Franchise
Originally featured on Bitcoin's layer-2 network Stacks in 2021, Moonray has transitioned to using the ERC-20 token standard on Ethereum. Initially incorporating metaverse and role-playing elements, the game reflects the metaverse trend catalyzed by Facebook's rebranding.
Presently, Moonray stands as a multiplayer competitive combat arena game set in a post-human world. Core gameplay centers on fast-paced combat involving hacking, slashing, and countering with futuristic weapons and powers. Beyond the game, the Moonray franchise expanded with two graphic novels authored by Brandon Graham and illustrated by Xurxo G. Penalta, published by Living the Line.
Final Thoughts
With its play-to-airdrop campaign and Epic Games Store launch, Moonray aims to bolster player engagement and expand its user base. Daily challenges, rewards, and bonuses for NFT holders, alongside opportunities to win high-end gaming PCs, are crafted to attract players.
As Moonray evolves and expands its franchise with new graphic novels, it continues to deliver captivating experiences.
