Paper ApeWhat is Celestial Cyclones?
Updated: Sep 30, 2021
Celestial Cyclones is (to my knowledge) the first game generated 100% on chain, created by Hideo Takahashi. It is an interactive experience that takes inspiration from the classic breakout game. This project was created on the ArtBlocks platform.
Gameplay
Destroy the barriers to reach the core
Each barrier acts as a musical note, creating a unique melody each game
Controls
Click to start
Left and right arrow keys or Mouse/trackpad to control the baton
P to pause
It's a simple concept but super addicting once you find some good levels. I played a ton of levels last night until I found a couple I liked. Being the degenerate I am, I had to ape in.

Analysis
I really like the idea of being able to "own" games on the blockchain. I have no doubt that this will spawn a new wave of game-based NFTs that are created entirely on chain. Celestial Cyclones is the perfect mixture of art & gaming and I haven't seen anything like it in the NFT space before. There is a very low supply so I can see the floor price increasing rapidly if these games resonate with the NFT community.
Let's play a game. If you can beat Celestial Cyclones #572 in under 40 seconds you will be entered to win an NFT from my collection. (bonus points if you beat my score too)
