Overview

SpaceCatch is a developing free-to-play, play-to-earn, and move-to-earn RPG sci-fi augmented reality mobile game built on the Binance Smart Chain. The game provides similar qualities to that of Pokemon Go. Instead of fighting and capturing Pokemons, players will now be roaming, fighting, and capturing aliens. Players will build their characters, earn NFTs, and complete game quests.

The Plot

The game begins as the earth being auctioned off to a superior race from Dwingeeloo 1 galaxy. The aliens from Dwingeloo 1 galaxy want to incubate earth into a new-carbon-based life. But, the aliens have begun to face resistance from humans as they made the mistake of underestimation. As the war continues, it is up to the human race to save earth from the invading Dwingeeloo 1 galaxy. A more in-depth description of the story of the alien invaders can be found here.

Gameplay

Similar to Pokémon Go, players of SpaceCatch will be able to roam freely in the real world while using the app to play the game. However, instead of capturing and battling wild Pokémon, players will be fighting aliens.

By using augmented reality (AR) technology to overlay digital aliens onto the real world, players will use their phones to scan their surroundings to find and battle the invading aliens.

There will be a variety of different aliens, each with its own unique abilities. Players will need to use strategy, skill, and their created potions to defeat the aliens.

NFTs

SpaceCatch will enable players to obtain in-game NFTs which will be divided into two categories, non-inflationary and inflationary that will consist of a range in rarity type.

Non-inflationary NFTs are expected to grow in value over time as these will only have a fixed number supply.

Inflationary NFTs however will have an unlimited supply and continuously grow and important while playing the game. Players will be rewarded many different NFTs found within NFT reward boxes as they play through the game.

Genesis Box NFT is the most important NFT that a player can receive. This will contain 10,000 rare NFTs boxes, some non-inflationary NFTs, but most importantly, the Genesis Armor Set. This set is considered the rarest item a player can obtain because it allows players to progress faster through the game and create and sell potion NFTs quicker than anyone else. An incentive to own this NFT is also present as a player can lend their armor to another player through the SpaceCatch Lending platform. Genesis box NFT is available to everyone by presale airdrop.

NFT rarity is categorized as displayed below and can also be further analyzed here.

Rarity categories (100 different items in total)

• Common 50% drop rate (45 different items)

• Uncommon 30% drop rate (15 different items)

• Rare 15% drop rate (15 different items)

• Legendary 4% drop rate (10 different items)

• Mythical 1% drop rate (5 different items)

Rarity categories (by color)

• Common — White

• Uncommon — Blue

• Rare — Yellow

• Legendary — Orange

• Mythical — Red

• Special — Green

A Mythical — Red NFT is considered the most valuable category. Below is an example of a first NFT by SpaceCatch called “OG SpaceCape”.

Deflationary game mechanics have yet to be announced by the project though is expected.

Move-to-Earn and Potions

Players will be monitored by their physicality in movement and categorized between calories burned, and amount of steps. Calories enable players to buy items, and player steps are important in developing potions.

There will be various different potions that a player can use and listed below. Each potion will offer different effects to the player to satisfy their requirement.

• Healing HP

• Max HP bar boost

• Crafting XP reward

• Combat XP boost

• Alien item drop rate boost

• Alien spawn boost

• Random item reward

Tokenomics

The SpaceCatch token will serve as a utility token using the BEP-20 standard on the Binance Smart Chain. The native token for SpaceCatch will be $CATCH. The creation of the token will be intended to be a store of value as the project implements deflationary measures.

Closing Thoughts

SpaceCatch looks to be gaining popularity and interest based on its social media platforms. The project continues to build despite current market conditions both in GameFi and crypto.

However, the project valuation seems quite high as the average valuation in the last 90 days is at $8.37M according to RootData. The project has also yet to release a gameplay sample to showcase to its fanbase and the world. SpaceCatch team is comprised of professionals with minimal backgrounds in gaming but compliments themselves with experiences in software development and product design.

SpaceCatch is showing a great deal of excitement that can show potential but has yet to be seen. Until the project releases its gameplay, SpaceCatch has developed nothing more than hype.
