October Winner: Pirates

Pirates emerged victorious in the October PiHackathon, captivating users with its user-friendly game experience. Players assume the role of a Pirate navigating through a course, aiming to cover maximum ground while avoiding obstacles and pitfalls.

The selection of Pirates as the winner was based on its remarkable usability, appealing UI, and innovative integration of Pi into the core game mechanics and in-game economy. Noteworthy is Pirates’ use of Pi for in-game transactions, allowing players to purchase in-game ‘coins’ and unlock various features.

The game’s clean and enjoyable UI, coupled with straightforward onboarding for new users, enhances its overall appeal. Pirates stands out as a shining example of how digital currencies like Pi can elevate the functionality of gaming apps, creating engaging in-game economies.

In celebrating Pirates as the October PiHackathon winner, Pi Network commends its developers for their commitment to usability, intuitive UI, and seamless integration of Pi, offering a glimpse into the exciting possibilities of blockchain gaming.

Pi Network looks forward to witnessing the continued success and development of both Daabia and Pirates, as they contribute to the growing and diverse Pi community. Read Similar Story
