In an exciting development for gaming and cryptocurrency enthusiasts, "Super Doginals," a new beat-'em-up game featuring Doge-themed characters, has made its debut on the Dogecoin blockchain. The free-to-play title arrives as Dogecoin reaches its highest price point in three years.
Drawing inspiration from classic brawler games like Streets of Rage and Fatal Fury, Super Doginals puts players in control of Shiba Inu dog characters who must prevent the villainous Rugstar the Wolf from stealing the moon. The game features battles against various meme-inspired enemies including frogs, apes, and cats.
The cross-platform release supports desktop computers, mobile devices, and tablets, with full game controller compatibility. Players can explore 14 distinct levels while enjoying 35 minutes of original music. The game's creator, Pimax, has incorporated over 1,500 unique pieces of sprite artwork into the experience.
Behind the scenes, Super Doginals employs recursive inscription technology, similar to Bitcoin's Ordinals system. This advanced approach allows for linking multiple inscriptions, enabling larger applications and games on the Dogecoin blockchain. The technology also supports future updates and modifications, opening doors for other developers to create their own versions of the game.
This isn't Pimax's first venture into Dogecoin-based gaming. The developer previously released a shareware version of "Doom" and "Dogetris," a Doge-themed take on the classic puzzle game Tetris.
The timing of Super Doginals' release coincides with growing interest in Dogecoin on Wall Street, as industry experts speculate about potential Dogecoin ETF developments following recent approvals of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs.
