'Eat Other Snake, Take Their Money': Slither.io Solana Clone Goes Viral

Summary

Noodle.gg, a crypto game inspired by Slither.io, allows players to gamble using Solana. Players pay an entry fee and can win money by consuming other players' snakes, but they lose everything if they die. The game's creator, Alex Leiman, announced its launch on social media, leading to a viral response and a peak market cap of $19.43 million for the Noodle (NOODLE) token within 14 hours. The token currently has no utility and is considered a meme coin. The game attracted 1,000 active accounts in two hours and processed over $75,000 in crypto on its first day. Players can cash out their earnings, but the platform reserves the right to impose restrictions. Reactions to the game are mixed, with some praising its potential for earnings and others criticizing it as an unoriginal clone. Previous crypto games like Bigcoin have also gained attention for their money-making potential but faced significant crashes.
