Crypto Shots is the first Play-And-Earn FPS 3D game on Wax and the first ever 3D game on Hive powered by Web3 tech. Seamlessly integrated with Ethereum and Bitcoin Lightning, it's a browser-based game with expansion plans on multiple platforms.
Players can battle bots or challenge others in single and multi-player modes, experiencing the game risk-free with the trial feature.
Trusted by 2000+ wallets, Crypto Shots features 100+ unique in-house-designed NFTs, including a diverse array of gaming assets such as characters, weapons, ammo, reward boosters and much more.
Developed over 2 years, the game embodies expertise from a multifaceted team of web3, blockchain technology, AAA gaming, and design professionals.
Crypto-Shots and the Swarm of Swarms:
The Swarm of Swarms is a virtual gathering where blockchain developers building on the Hive network converge to share project updates, insights, and knowledge. This decentralized meet-up brings together a collective of innovators and visionaries from the Hive ecosystem, specifically those developing applications and use cases on the blockchain. As participants join the Swarm, they are exposed to ideas, solutions, and experiences, allowing them to expand their professional networks and gain a deeper understanding of the rapidly evolving Hive ecosystem. Through this virtual convergence, the Swarm of Swarms aims to cultivate a culture of open communication, mutual support, and collective growth among its members.

What Is The Hive Blockchain?
As defined by @rentmoney: It's many things including but not limited to: A source for information. A host spot for many play2earn games. A place to build your own business. A place to run a blog account. A place to interact with your online friends. A place to expand your knowledge. A place to trade currencies. Your imagination is the limit to what the Hive Blockchain has to offer and could be to you. Creating and curating content on the Hive Blockchain will give you the opportunity to earn the Blockchains main currencies known as Hive and HBD (Hive Backed Dollars).

Concluding Thoughts:
The Hive Blockchain is the place to be. With #play2earn games like #splinterlands and #cryptoshots already in full swing. Not to mention up and coming games like #holozing. Hive also has an arcade of games on what is known as #arcadecolony where #moonkarts and #stakehouseden reside. If you are a web3 gamer and aren't on the Hive Blockchain I only have one thing to say; You Are Missing Out: Sign Up Today. That's it for our Crypto-Shots update. Hopefully we gave you just enough information to #peakd your interest and do some digging yourselves :) If what you read interests you and you have further questions about Crypto-Shots I would recommend joining their discord server. You can also fire away with any inquiries below in the comment section. The crypto-shots team are a friendly bunch and are usually active here on the Hive Blockchain. There's a chance they might stop by to answer any question you might have (not guaranteed but possible). Today's date is 05/20/2025 and the Hive Token USD value is $0.2561 USD with a 24-hour trading volume of $4305491.73 USD.

@lordshah this info is way easier than what I tried to type 😂
Thanks for the information, I will look forward to it and going the join the battle arena soon ❤️
The game definitely is a lot of fun! I enjoy the game and the people in the community too 😁
Haven't played for a few days and I am already looking forward to today's tournament 💪🏼
All the best for today’s tournament and hope you beat your opponents with ease. ❤️
Thanks man! It's nearly impossible for me to win against @zillionz and @obifenom.
It's better for me to play against @mickvir. We are more equals and have a blast when playing 😃
!BBH
We really do. Obi is so quick I find it hard to get him and am excited when I do . Zillion can be deadly to especially on cargo ship I swear he just deletes me everytime on that map
His ability to do headshots in 0.2 second is absolutely mental! And Zayne is just crazy. Playing with his lag/ping and still winning 🤯

Nice - retweeted from my personal account
Welcome
Thanks for the updates, I haven't been keeping up with crypto-shots. !BBH
It looks a lot more interesting. I haven't seen it or played it yet, but I will definitely try to play it in the future.
Join the fun! Free to Earn every day at 3pm UTC + Sat/Sun at 7pm UTC
Swarm of swarms gives me the heebie jeebies 😅 but I love the idea 👍 Anything that build momentum on hive, I'm all for it
It's growing. It's good for visibility and all DHF funded project should join and post at least their weekly updates..
It is an awesome game, we are just not very good at it and get killed a lot....
Win/ lose/ draw, if fun is had; that's a win.
Perfect way to look at things.
Is this game free? I could be terribly wrong, but someone told me a while ago that it was a paid game.
Edit: The founder of the game commented below with a much better answer than mine.
Free to play and play2win.
Check out the links in the OP.
I'll check later.
@josiva it's Free to Earn during our daily tournaments (3pm UTC mon-thu, 7pm sat-sun). Outside our tournaments you need to have a PvP Alpha pass to earn our token.
It's always Free To Play if you want to try it out as a guest too (both on web and PC).
I bought something, but for some reason I couldn't try it - I need to check 👍
PC version out now.
@russia-btc yup, you have quite a bit of assets.
If you have any issues hop in our Discord and ping our mods or me (sniper) - we'll be happy to help.
I'll definitely try this game! 👌
@rentmoney, I paid out 2.088 HIVE and 0.529 HBD to reward 11 comments in this discussion thread.
Awesome, thanks for the help with that.
Since 4 or 5 years this game is in development and the UI has not changed at all. Hopeless.
It hasn't? 🤔
2023

This is the game UI both on PC and on web. For web sure, we still need to make it pretty, but that's not our priority.
Our plan is: solid game -> sustainable tokenomics -> UI (yup, here) -> scale to more users (marketing).
Right now we are not ready to scale to lots of users (tokenomics and systems are not ready). We almost don't want more users because it would slow down development. So why should we prioritize the UI? 🤷♂
We are not selling anything. Players who join now earn rewards for free to test the game, which is still in development (alpha).
We also have a test build with much better graphics, but first, we need to do some optimizations.
And...
We are working on an ecosystem and not just the shooter game. Everything will become clear over time... 😉
It has not been 4-5 years but 3.5
We are self-funded (never DHF funding and ridiculous initial sale on Hive). And we developed it in our free time.
What have you built on Hive in your free time investing your own money in the last 3.5 years?
Your last question is quite inappropriate.
Well, so was your comment that the game is hopeless.
We’re a small team building on Hive with our own funds. If done correctly, constructive feedback is welcome. Please share it respectfully so we can all build something great together.
I agree, I was too harsh. Wish you success!
Sound great
