Earning money while playing games has been a goal of most gamers from that first time your parents said “you can’t make a living playing games”. Well, the games featured in this article are not necessarily proving them wrong, you can make some money with them. Unfortunately, none of the games featured in this article will pay out in crypto, they all pay out via the PayPal platform, which may not be available in all countries. For that, to those affected negatively by this, I apologize. I promise to get more crypto earning games featured in the future.
I have decided to change things up a bit going forward. Each game will have a quick look summary section. This section is intended to give vital details that matter immediately.
As with other earning games, your earnings are really coming from revenue sharing from the ads you watch. If you are not willing to watch ads, these games may simply not be for you.
Shoot Zombie Earn Real Money
Everyone loves the zombie apocalypse, right? Me personally, I am a huge fan of Romero’s zombie movies. I watch other movies too but when in a pinch for comfort entertainment, or background noise, I choose a Romero zombie jaunt through the wasteland of the world.
Shoot Zombie Earn Real Money is more like if DIC or maybe later Hannah Barbara made a cartoon based on Romero’s zombie movies. The zombies here are not terrifying in looks, nor do they ever really “get you”. That is not the point. Making money is.
As you back down the hallways from the approaching zombie, occasionally a zombie hoard, you tap the screen to shoot them. Taps earn one of two currencies – coins are strictly in-game money while dollars are what converts every three hours into US Dollars.
There are minor gameplay improvements such as buying gun upgrades and upgrading your safehouse. The niceties are mostly to keep you interacting with the game than truly improving your earnings potential (that is set by what the ads you view are paying).
Before you get too excited, you need to max out that money bar at the top of the screen (around $10,000) to earn a nickel or so.
The problem is the sheer number of taps on the screen and the ads you must watch to earn that money. It is a lot.
Earnings potential: Low
Play method: Tapping the screen
Would I play without being paid: No
FishStrike Win Real Cash
FishStrike takes the idea of Shoot Zombie but pits you against fish while sitting in your boat at the top of the screen. Obviously much lower level of potential death here but similar art style so this might be more interesting for many. The idea is the same, tap the screen.
This time there is a bit more strategy as the fish are swimming around underneath you. Tap an area to shoot your spear and collect dollars that are used for upgrades in the game and gems which convert to real cash every three hours.
The exchange rate is similar across the board for these games, about either 1,000 or 10,000 units converts to 1 penny in real cash. You are not going to get rich with FishStrike but it does add up and it does pay.
There is a free autotap option in FishStrike which sets it apart a bit from other similar tapper games. Other games often require you to watch an ad or pay a certain amount of in-game currency to use the auto tapper.
Earnings potential: Low
Play method: Tapping the screen, some strategy involved
Would I play without being paid: No
FateDrill RealCash
FateDrill RealCash is the closest we are getting with this collection to truly passive earning experiences. Hit that auto button and let the game run, occasionally coming back to clear an ad or mini game that forces interaction.
You simply tap the screen to drill down through layers of obstacles. Some are tougher than others and require more time or more power to get through.
That is, it. That is the gameplay. You can make it simpler by hitting the auto button, free and apparently with no time limit, to make it more passive.
You can upgrade your drill to be more powerful, add more capacity, etc using the in-game dollars. The gems you collect will convert to real world US Dollars every three hours. I did notice with FateDrill, you can exchange those gems for in-game dollars if you want to upgrade your drill. That is an interesting option – kind of skipping the “In-App Purchase” step there.
FateDrill suffers from the fact that, well, the earnings are horrible. The worst of the three titles featured here.
Earnings potential: Low
Play method: Tapping the screen
Would I play without being paid: No, not even worth the download
