After discussing The mechanics of ArcadeColony in my previous post, today I want to share an exciting experience of trying out a new blockchain-based game called Moon Karts. As the name suggests, it’s a space-themed kart racing game that combines blockchain technology with nostalgic classic gameplay. If you love thrilling races and are curious about the concept of tokenization in games, Moon Karts is a must-try!
Moon Karts uses in-game tokens called COLONY and SCRIPT. To get started, I transferred my COLONY tokens from the Hive Engine platform to my game account, which was quick and straightforward. If you’re unfamiliar with this process, check out my previous post about Managing Arcade wallets. Once my balance was ready, the first step was to head to the marketplace. Here, you need to purchase a driver and a kart to start racing.
My First Driver and Kart Choices
I decided to buy a driver named Spark, who has Rare rarity. Spark’s stats were decent for a beginner, although the low acceleration was something I immediately felt during the races.
Along with Spark, I also purchased an Astro Kart, which had great speed but, again, struggled with acceleration. Additionally, I bought an accessory, an exhaust, to slightly boost my kart's performance.
With this small team, I felt ready to start my first race!
The Thrill of My First Race in Moon Karts
I started with the single-player mode to try out the first track. Honestly, this game instantly took me back to my childhood, reminding me of classic racing games with colorful cartoon visuals and cool animation effects. However, while the visuals were engaging, the controls were quite challenging—especially for a beginner like me.
Since I was playing on a laptop, I had to adjust to using keyboard keys to steer the kart left, right, and forward. And trust me, the low acceleration of my kart was painfully obvious. Every time I turned, it felt like I was driving a giant truck rather than a nimble little kart. 😂
Even though I hit the track’s edges several times (and nearly flew into outer space), I managed to collect some COLONY tokens along the way. My kart’s top speed reached 130 mph—not bad for a beginner, but clearly not competitive enough.
Despite the challenges, I finally completed my first race. It felt like a small but amazing victory, even though my track time was far from impressive. 😅 I’m already considering using a game controller for better comfort than the keyboard. Moving forward, my priority is to improve the acceleration stats of both Spark and my Astro Kart to make them easier to handle.
From this first experience, I can confidently say that Moon Karts seamlessly combines fun gameplay with blockchain technology. The tokenization system makes the game feel unique and challenging. I also heard that in the multiplayer mode, there will be exciting features like fuel management, which isn’t available in single-player mode. I can’t wait to try that in my next session!
