<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Off The Grid will pay you $500 to snitch on cheating software</strong><p>The hottest Web3 game of the moment, Off The Grid, has been called unplayable by some gamers frustrated with all the cheaters. In response, Gunzilla Games has upgraded its anti-cheating detection systems and is offering a $500 reward for anyone who rats out the unknown cheating software providing tools like aimbots, wallhacks and god mode.</p><p>Off The Grid is unplayable at the moment because of cheaters, gaming content creator Inspector Mindblow <a href="https://x.com/InspectorMNBL/status/1849164301568745932" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">declared</a> in an Oct. 24 X post, claiming that cheaters have ruined the game for him in more than half of his sessions:</p>
 <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
  <p>I played only 5 games where 3 of them had cheaters who ruined my experience. I love the game and hope it succeeds in fixing this, but it needs to happen ASAP.</p>
 </blockquote><p>While he didnt mention how the cheaters got him all riled up, plenty of Reddit users on the Off The Grid subreddit are complaining about guns that are shooting way too fast and even able to fire through walls, making it almost impossible for the goody-two-shoes, rule-following gamers to keep up.</p><p>Just reported 4 people hacking with auto shotguns with super long range. 100% cheating, Reddit user Holdthedoor949 <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/OffTheGridGame/comments/1g8jxax/cheater_with_weapons_that_shoot_super_fast/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">wrote</a>.</p><p>1 Castle echoed a similar complaint, I keep seeing the super fast guns that just delete people through walls and everything. This sucks.</p><p>Gaming commentator Scoriox <a href="https://x.com/kingscoriox/status/1849288827090927951" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">added</a>, I just dont understand the people that do that.<br><br>Redditor D1SKON argued that the cheating issue is due to cheaters believing they can make money once the currency is actually recognized. The game is launching a token called GUN and a crypto-based marketplace and <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikestubbs/2024/10/12/popular-new-battle-royale-off-the-grid-is-actually-a-crypto-game/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">reportedly</a> has plans to add non-fungible tokens (NFTs).</p><p>Some believe the game, which is still in the early access phase, is on a slippery downward slope if the rampant cheating isnt resolved soon.</p>

 </section><p>Unfortunate reality right now is Off the Grid will die if it doesnt fix the optimization + cheating issues. No amount of marketing or PR will be able to fix it.

<p>Why am I swiping cats around the screen like Im browsing a feline version of Tinder?</p>
<p>That was my first thought when I opened up the viral Telegram clicker game, Catizen.</p>
<p>The game starts with cats all over the screen, and just like most of the viral clicker games Ive tried this year, Im sitting there thinking, WTF am I even supposed to do with this?</p>
<p>Youve probably at least heard of Catizen, one of the most successful clicker games of 2024.&nbsp;</p>
<p>But if youre like me and havent tried it yet, it brings deja vu of caring for a Tamagotchi or playing Nintendogs on your Nintendo DS.</p>

<p>Your job is to run a cat colony, check in on them every day, feed them, and crossbreed cats to create rarer, higher-level ones in the game. The rarer they are, the more FISH tokens <strong> </strong>the Catizen in-game currency&nbsp; <strong> </strong>you can earn per second automatically.</p>
<p>You can use FISH to unlock upgrades and keep your cats alive by feeding them.</p>

<p>Is it enjoyable? It depends. Did you enjoy those Tamagotchi, Nintendogs, virtual caring for pets type games? If you loved getting lost in those animal-loving games, then this one might be right up your alley.</p>
<p>On the plus side, crossbreeding cats adds more depth to the gameplay, so its not just about mindless clicking.</p>
<p>Honestly, I was pretty bored with Catizen after about 20 minutes. If Im going to play a clicker game, I want to feel like Im building an empire, not like a crazy cat lady running a cat breeding operation.&nbsp;</p>
