Space Falcon is an Intergalactic metaverse featuring the classic space shooter game and community-built SciFi NFTs.
Space Falcon is re-innovating the metaverse ecosystem by rewarding rare NFTs to players who meet in-game objectives. The game was created on Solana Blockchain, one of the fastest and cheapest chains in terms of transaction fees.
Space Falcon is advancing the idea of decentralized gaming; its game universe has weapons, rocket ships, planets, and other items. The good thing about these items is that they can be represented as NFTs.
There is no limitation on how players can use the NFTs acquired during this game. Space Falcon comes with a marketplace where creators and players can sell their NFTs for income.
About the game
The earth is under attack by aliens, and your spaceship is the only hope remaining. You have only one job, take a stand and stop the incoming invasion. The promise of rewards is heavy. However, the task ahead of you is not easy. The difficulty in the game increases with each victory, and only those that are strong enough will earn the ‘earth’s mightiest protector’ title.
Players come across ten engaging space shooter missions that allow them to build an empire and create NFTs across different galaxies. Players can upgrade their spaceships in each of the missions. Spaceships are thoughtfully designed, with notable differences and intricate details.
