Solana Game 'Nyan Heroes' Reveals Biggest Airdrop Yet for Next Playtest

Ahead of its Epic Games Store return this month, Nyan Heroes said it will hand out 6.7 million NYAN tokens to players.

Nyan Heroes, the cat-themed hero shooter game built on Solana, announced its largest token airdrop to date on Thursday, with 6.7 million NYAN tokens (nearly $200,000) to be distributed during its upcoming Playtest 4 event.

The airdrop, running from March 26 to April 13, represents a 34% increase from the previous distribution, and allocates 250,000 tokens to the top-ranked player. The reward structure, designed by former EVE Online economy director Asimakis Reppas, features three tiers: Challenger, Leaderboard, and Genesis NFT.

Players can earn points by completing in-game missions and challenges, with additional opportunities through web missions like connecting accounts and inviting friends. Genesis NFT holders receive multipliers that boost points based on rarity.

Playtest 4 introduces several new gameplay elements, including a pilot named Coco who operates Guardian Gizmo, a mech built from scraps that can deploy turrets and create magnetic platforms.

The update also features Fishball, a competitive game mode where teams score by carrying or throwing a ball into opponents' goals. There’s also a new Tokyo-themed map designed for vertical movement.

Developer 9 Lives Interactive has positioned this distribution as part of Nyan Heroes’ community rewards program, with the current allocation representing 2% of the total community rewards pool.
