Pixels, the most popular non-Telegram game
Games on the TON blockchain have had quite a buzz in recent months, but with Pixels there is a popular game that doesn’t rely on Telegram. And with the Chapter 2 update, things just got more interesting.
Founder Luke Barwikowski counted Decrypt that the changes are quite substantial. While the game has attracted millions of new users over several months, Barwikowski said that for him and his team, the changes are aimed at fixing “some of the issues” they have encountered in recent years.

Developers also want to encourage and reward long-time players rather than casual players and provide a much deeper user experience. However, Barwikowski also admitted that the team is still deciding what the overall direction of the game will be.
The cool thing is that we don’t know what the metagame will be. This is also part of the experimentation. The team will basically be live for the next month or two after launch to perform a ton of live operations.
