TapNation launches Athletics Rush on Tezos

French game developer TapNation has launched its sports-themed mobile-based game Athletics Rush. The game is currently just web2. Its blockchain elements will be released on Tezos in August.

Previously announcing collaborations with multiple ecosystems such as Immutable and Arbitrum, this will be TapNation’s first game to deploy to the Tezos blockchain.

“With Athletics Rush, our goal was to create a fun and satisfying experience seamlessly incorporating web3 elements. By building on Tezos, we can enhance player retention and provide rewarding experiences without disrupting the core gameplay,” said TapNation head of web3 Philippe Lenormand.

As for games on Tezos, the number is still sparse compared to other networks. However, Tezos claims it has seen a significant increase in activity during 2024, with monthly users up by 500% during the first quarter.

“Tezos offers a secure and sustainable blockchain platform that aligns perfectly with the vision for Athletics Rush. We’re happy to introduce blockchain technology to enhance the user experience without compromising the fun and engaging nature of the game,” said Tezos APAC head of gaming Jeremy Foo.

In terms of the game, it’s a hyper-casual athletic runner featuring various game modes to master athletic skills such as running, jumping and throwing. Players can collect medals while competing on global leaderboards.

Athletics Rush is available to download via Google Play.
