Pixels, a game operating on the Ronin network, has introduced a novel update that allows players to mint exclusive pets through a unique ticket system. The update, announced on October 30th, introduces a carnival event in the Terra Villa area of the game, where players can engage in various mini-games to earn tickets. These tickets can then be redeemed for pets, which are part of an inflationary NFT collection with periodic drops. The initial Genesis Pets drop includes a limited-edition Dino collection, with a possibility of additional pets being added.
Players can earn tickets by participating in mini-games such as “Left Right,” “Beat the Crowd,” “Bump a Grump,” and “Corn Maze”. Additionally, two new farming loops involving seed planting and harvesting offer more opportunities to obtain tickets. The carnival event also features three trailers where players can win different rewards, including a winery, apiaries, and pet coupons, with the latter redeemable for pet minting.
Minting pets involves a process where a pet coupon won from the carnival is taken to a pet store in Terra Villa, used on a capsule vending machine, and then hatched on the player’s land with the aid of a growth lab and various potions. Players can craft potions and pet food, which are integral to the pet’s development and happiness.
This game update not only introduces a new dimension to gameplay but also fosters community interaction, as some events are designed to encourage communal participation and rewards. The update seems to be aimed at keeping the player base engaged with fresh content and the allure of rare collectible pets.
The game encourages community involvement through its Discord server, where players can connect with like-minded individuals and keep abreast of all game-related updates and community findings. The developers have created a system where both solitary and communal play can lead to rewarding experiences within the Pixels universe.
