'Pudgy Party' Review: A Crypto 'Fall Guys' on Mobile—But Maybe Better

Summary

Pudgy Penguins' mobile game, Pudgy Party, has gained popularity among fans of the Ethereum NFT collection. The game is a casual battle royale that combines elements from Fall Guys with unique characters and abilities. Players compete in smaller lobbies of 20, leading to quicker matches. Each character possesses up to four unlockable abilities, enhancing gameplay dynamics. Characters can be leveled up and transformed into NFTs through the Mythical marketplace, although this feature is optional and does not impact competitive balance significantly. While the game offers engaging mechanics, it has minor flaws, such as excessive clicking and unlocking between matches, which can disrupt flow. Level design is less creative compared to Fall Guys, with a limited library of levels. Despite these issues, Pudgy Party stands out in the crypto gaming space and has potential for growth with regular updates, appealing to casual gamers and fans of the genre.
