After the success of MoonKarts, Arcade Colony platform is developing another Web2 game migrated to Web3 called - Hyper-Rail Blaster - a Web3 arcade-style game developed by Invennium Corp, a subsidiary of the renowned blockchain gaming company Splinterlands. Hosted on the Arcade Colony platform, this game transports players to Planet LVL-42, where the mischievous Pricklepack Gang—a group of extraterrestrial criminals—has escaped containment and is multiplying at an alarming rate. Enter Herbie, the titular Hyper Rail Blaster, tasked with rounding up these pesky invaders and restoring order to the colony.
Operation & Gameplay
At its core, the game Hyper Rail Blaster is a wave-based shooter, a traditional Web2 game that enjoyed by many until now. It harkens back to the golden age of arcade gaming, more like a reminisce of our childhood memories.
The gameplay is simple as what it used to be. Waves of enemies in the form of Pricklepack, it will just start with 1, then it gets broken down into smaller pieces as you aim to destroy it. With each subsequent wave, the number of enemies increases along with their size, health, and strength. It gets broken down into pieces and that's how it's very difficult to manage surviving. Every third wave introduces a formidable boss, raising the stakes and testing players’ reflexes and strategy. The game’s intuitive mechanics—move your cannon, aim, and shoot—make it accessible to newcomers while offering enough depth to keep seasoned gamers hooked.
However, Hyper Rail Blaster isn't just about a game that we used to enjoy that will be built on top of Hive blockchaik. The integration of blockchain technology offers players to enjoy the game will enjoying ownership of in-game assets and the chance to earn real-world rewards. This Play-to-Earn model is very common yet a fascinating feature of Arcade Colony built on top of our ever reliable Hive blcockhain.

Game Play
- Waves & Progression - the game starts with just one enemy called Wave 1. As you complete each wave, it adds another foe, and their attributes scale up - bigger, tougher, and faster. This kind of transition is normal when playing games. The more you play and get expert of it, the more difficult your opponents will.
