KPRVERSE Launches Ramen Wars: A Free-to-Play Browser Game on Base
thirdweb's all in one toolkit has enabled yet another web3 game. Let's dive into how KPRVERSE took Ramen Wars to the next level with thirdweb.
What is Ramen Wars?
Ramen Wars is a free-to-play web3 browser game built by KPRVERSE. It successfully onboarded over 8,000 players through seamless onboarding, fiat-checkout and gasless transactions — powered by thirdweb.
At its core, Ramen Wars is a culinary battle that challenges players to unlock ingredients, complete quests, and earn rewards in a race against time. The limited-time availability of the game adds an extra layer of excitement, encouraging players to dive in and explore the world of Ramen Wars before it's too late.
But what sets Ramen Wars apart from other web3 games is the seamless playing experience. Built on the Base, Ramen Wars leverages the scalability and fast transaction speeds features of the network.
How Ramen Wars Leveraged thirdweb's complete web3 development toolkit
Ramen Wars integrated thirdweb's full-stack development kit, including In-App Wallets, Account Abstraction, Fiat Checkout, NFT Minting, and thirdweb Engine.
These solutions work together to create a seamless and accessible experience for players, regardless of their prior knowledge of web3.
Custom onboarding with thirdweb Connect
Ramen Wars built a custom onboarding flow using thirdweb's wallet toolkit. Players could sign-up using their Email Address or Google account and start playing right away. No blockchain complexity.
In-app purchases with credit cards via thirdweb Pay
Players can also purchase in-game power-ups to increase their chances of success. These assets are NFTs which players could purchase using their credit card – powered by thirdweb pay.
Seamless Backend Management with thirdweb Engine
As players progressed, they were airdropped collectable NFTs to track their progress and level-up their gameplay. Players did not have to claim or pay gas to receive their NFTs, ensuring the playing experience was seamless and uninterrupted.
Ramen Wars leveraged thirdweb Engine, our web3 cloud infrastructure that powers app backends, to airdrop NFTs into the player's wallets. thirdweb Engine lets apps sign & send transactions at scale, and eliminates stuck transactions with automatic nonce management and gas-optimized transaction retries.
thirdweb + Ramen Wars: The Results
Since launching, Ramen Wars has onboarded over 8,000 unique players and sold more than 5,500 Chibi-Go's. The game mechanics revolve around unlocking ingredients, completing quests, and earning rewards in a race against time.
KPRVERSE has a clear mission to create immersive and engaging web3 experiences that push the boundaries of what is possible in this emerging space.
Ramen Wars is a testament to their commitment to this vision, demonstrating the potential for web3 gaming to attract a wide audience and provide a seamless and enjoyable user experience.
