Bored Ape Yacht Club creator Yuga Labs and partner studio Faraway have released the sewer-based game Dookey Dash: Unclogged as a free-to-play download on iOS, Android, Mac, and PC in selected regions. With this players will compete to enter an end-of-season tournament with over $1 million worth of prizes.

This comes more than a year after Yuga Labs rolled out the original NFT-gated version of the game, with the highest-scoring players earning valuable prizes. The winner of the top prize—a one-of-a-kind NFT golden key—was notable Fortnite esports player Kyle “Mongraal” Jackson. He sold it for 3,333 Ethereum, or $1.63 million worth at the time.

Dookey Dash: Unclogged is now free-to-play via both mobile and computer apps, with very similar core gameplay to the previous NFT-gated iteration of the game. Gamers jump atop a makeshift underwater scooter as they attempt to make their way through an endless sewer filled with gunk and obstacles. 

New to the game this time around is its “creator mode,” which allows players to upload 3D models or 2D art to create on-chain avatars, vehicles,  and stickers that are playable in-game. These assets are then tradable on the Faraway Shop, an NFT marketplace, and can be used in other gaming experiences.

With the game now officially released, season one kicks off with a weekly in-game leaderboard for players to battle it out to win a variety of prizes, the most prestigious being a “Golden Plunger.”

These Golden Plungers are tradable NFTs that will act as a player’s ticket into the end-of-season tournament, where $1 million worth of prizes will be up for grabs. Players can get their hands on these NFTs by ranking in the top 250 finalists on the season leaderboard, or by getting lucky on “The Wheel of Dookey.”

It appears that tournaments will take place every quarter, according to the Dookey Dash: Unclogged website, with each season being three months long.

Yuga Labs originally planned on releasing the free-to-play game in spring of this year, but suffered a couple of delays. The first of which was to help make the game more “casual-friendly,” as they felt the competitive side of the game was in good shape. Dookey Dash: Unclogged suffered one last delay as the team explored a “huge potential marketing opportunity” at the start of September—although it’s unclear what that was.

Solana is set to close the year above $250. Meanwhile, investors are attracted to XRP and DTX Exchange thanks to their budget-friendliness and growth prospects.

Quarter four has historically been the most bullish period for cryptocurrencies; positioning couldn’t be more crucial. Solana’s (SOL) price outlook for the final three months is bullish. It is set to regain lost price levels and end the year on a high note, making it one of the altcoins to watch.

Meanwhile, budget-friendly tokens with low entry points continue to win investors’ hearts. At the forefront are Ripple (XRP), a cross-border payment protocol and DTX Exchange (DTX), a new hybrid exchange protocol. INTL, a top ICO, is quickly becoming an investor favorite, boasting innovative use cases and significant upside potential.

DTX Exchange: A new DeFi protocol on investors’ radars

DTX Exchange, a new hybrid exchange protocol, stands out thanks to its blend of CEX and DEX. Unlike conventional trading platforms, it offers the best of both worlds, pushing the presale past $2.6 million amid a fever to become early adopters.

As an emerging cryptocurrency, one of its many attractions is its low entry point. Additionally, its growth prospects are astounding. The ICO is in the third round and costs $0.06 but with a projected 65x upside potential after its market debut.

The above makes it a more compelling alternative to top altcoins like Solana and Ripple. Besides the gains, its impending transformation of the $10 billion global trading scene places it on the list of new DeFi projects to watch out for. Some of its competitive advantages include the trading of diverse assets across TradFi and DeFi and non-custodial trading.

Solana: Bullish Q4 outlook

Solana, one of the best cryptos to invest in, is a must-have this year. Its DeFi capability makes it one of the most sought-after among developers and projects. In addition, its ecosystem of dApps and memecoins is largely unrivalled in the crypto space.

While the year has been a rollercoaster, it is a great one nonetheless. On the yearly chart, the Solana price increased over 500%, indicating how good of an investment it has been. Although the past month has been bearish—a 7% decline in the past 30 days—its outlook remains bullish.

Its outlook for the rest of the year couldn’t be more promising, tipped for a rally past $250. This bullish Solana price prediction highlights its significant upside potential, thanks to its rapidly growing ecosystem and features like fast transaction speed and low costs.

Ripple: Road to $5

Ripple, one of the top altcoins, is an investor favorite for good reasons. For one, the payment-based cryptocurrency is budget-friendly—ridiculously undervalued, according to top analysts. Recent developments like the launch of Grayscale XRP Fund and relisting on Robinhood paint a promising picture.

The XRP price, retailing below $1, provides one of the best entry points, considering its growth prospects. Reflecting bullish trends, the XRP coin has been up 8% in the past 7 days, trading at $0.58. With plenty of room to run at the current price, it is no surprise that investors have been betting big.

As it prepares to end the year strongly, with eyes on a Fed rate cut and the US presidency, a jump past $5 is suggested. This XRP price prediction paints a new ATH for the top crypto coin, outclassing previous bull cycle performance.

Conclusion

Solana, one of the best cryptos, is tipped for a rally past $250 before the curtain closes on the year. Meanwhile, Ripple, a top crypto and DTX Exchange, a new ICO, are on investors’ radars thanks to their budget-friendliness. With plenty of room for growth, these are promising waves to take advantage of.
