After nearly three months of fundraising, PlayDoge ($DOGE) charges into the final six days of its presale as its new play-to-earn (P2E) game is ready to launch.
On August 16, the project announced that its presale would conclude on August 26 at 10 am UTC, owing to game development progressing faster than initially anticipated.
The game, a crypto-themed twist on Tamagotchi that will soon debut on Google Play and the Apple App Store, has attracted over $6 million in capital to get underway.
Teasers dropped by PlayDoge on X show more dynamic and vibrant gameplay than the Bandai version, which sent excitement levels in their already pumped-up community through the roof.
Presale funds have now hit $6.12 million, with the $6.735 million sellout target looking well within reach before August 26. The run rate of presales tends to accelerate as the finishing line approaches. Token claiming and DEX listings are expected to follow shortly thereafter.
Investors who have yet to contribute to the project can still purchase $PLAY at the final price of $0.00531 per token.
After unveiling the alpha footage of PlayDoge’s mobile game, the project has released additional gameplay clips on X.
One of the new snippets showcases feeding time for the virtual Shiba Inu pet, where players must carefully choose the right food to keep their pet healthy. Like Tamagotchis, regular feeding is crucial to prevent the pet from getting sick and ultimately dying.
Another part of the game focuses on grooming, where users need to give their virtual pet a shower. This mechanic is again reminiscent of Tamagotchi, where keeping your pet clean and its room free of waste helps prevent it from getting sick.
Cleanliness also boosts the pet’s happiness, which is necessary for it to live longer.
All these gameplay clips show that PlayDoge is all set and ready to be played on everyone’s mobile devices.
However, it’s not just the game that has made the presale a hit. The big draw truly hinges on PlayDoge’s investment potential, with the project tapping into two hot trends in the crypto world: meme coins and Web3 gaming.
Why Is the Crypto Market Pumped up for PlayDoge?
PlayDoge differs from Tamagotchi because players get rewarded with $PLAY for their pet-care efforts, so every ounce of hard work has an equivalent dollar value.
This play-to-earn (P2E) component allows PlayDoge to potentially capitalize on a market projected to reach $6.3 billion by 2031.
And with its nostalgic Tamagotchi-like experience, it can also appeal to the original digital pet game fan base, which had collectively purchased 91 million devices by June 2023.
But the best part is that PlayDoge lets crypto fans connect with their favorite dog breed on a more personal level while earning $PLAY, which the crypto world is increasingly dubbing the next Dogecoin ($DOGE).
This hints at huge investment potential for PlayDoge, with its initial funds just scratching the surface of what $PLAY might offer. As the game launches and more people buy and use $PLAY, the token’s value could take off.
It’s no wonder it has garnered a lot of media attention, with even well-known crypto educational platform 99Bitcoins predicting it to be capable of generating a 100x return.
To contribute to the project while there is still time, secure your share of the 4.7 billion tokens allocated for the ICO by visiting the PlayDoge website. Connect your wallet and exchange BNB, USDT, or ETH for $PLAY. Bank cards are also accepted.
PlayDoge underwent a comprehensive smart contract audit by SolidProof, which found no critical issues in the code, providing investors with peace of mind.
