In the realm of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), one name stands out above the rest – the Bored Ape Yacht Club and their groundbreaking game, Dookey Dash. This game took the NFT world by storm with its limited release that restricted gameplay to NFT owners only. However, a new version of the game is poised to make a comeback this spring, titled “Unclogged”, with a major twist that is shaking up the NFT community.
Dookey Dash, released in 2021, was an “endless runner” game where players guided a vehicle through sewer obstacles to reach the top spot on the global leaderboard. The game’s exclusivity was its defining feature – only owners of specific NFTs such as Bored Apes, Mutant Apes, and other select tokens could partake in the gameplay. This exclusivity fueled a frenzy among NFT collectors, with some even going so far as to purchase expensive NFTs solely for access to Dookey Dash. The demand for these tokens skyrocketed, with one NFT fetching a staggering $1.63 million in Ethereum.
With the upcoming release of “Unclogged”, Yuga Labs, the creators of Dookey Dash, are shaking up the game’s dynamics. The new version eliminates the NFT requirement for gameplay, opening the doors to a wider audience. This decision has sparked both excitement and skepticism within the community, as it marks a significant departure from the game’s original exclusivity. However, Yuga Labs has assured NFT owners that they will still receive special benefits within the game, ensuring that they are not left behind.
Apart from removing the NFT barrier, “Unclogged” is set to introduce a slew of new features and collaborations that will revolutionize the gaming experience. The game is being developed in partnership with crypto gaming startup Faraway, allowing users to create and sell their own 3D assets within the game. This feature adds a layer of interactivity and customization previously unseen in Dookey Dash, transforming it from a simple endless runner game to a dynamic gaming platform. Additionally, the game will feature exciting brand collaborations, including a cameo from the iconic Bape ape mascot, adding a new level of hype and excitement to the game.
As the release of “Unclogged” approaches, it is evident that Dookey Dash is evolving beyond its origins as a game for NFT owners. With its potential to attract a broader audience, offer innovative features like asset creation and collaborations, and engage with popular brands, Dookey Dash is poised to become a game changer in the world of NFT gaming. The evolution of Dookey Dash serves as a testament to the ever-changing landscape of NFTs and the boundless possibilities they present for creators and players alike.
