What’s in the event
Khuga Labs first teased the tie-up July 9, describing a new boss, new gameplay and a prize pool powered by Abstract. Potatoz brings the theme. The invasion framing casts Memeland’s tubers as the enemy players fight through.
The prize pool splits among top finishers, though Khuga Labs hasn’t published the payout tiers.
The game behind it
Khuga Bash is a one-on-one action game. Players take the role of Kuro, a Khuga warrior clawing through PAW Labs, a facility stocked with enemies and bosses. It leans on reflexes and combo timing rather than the team play of Khuga Rumble Arena, the studio’s other title.
The game hit Steam Early Access on May 17, 2024, priced from $2.99. Of 34 user reviews, 88% are positive.
“Attention Basher! We are thrilled to announce that Khuga Bash! is now available on Steam!” Khuga Labs said in its release announcement.
The wider Khugaverse
Khuga started as a collection of 5,555 fighter-cat NFTs split across five races, each with its own combat traits. Khuga Labs has since expanded it into a set of games under the Khugaverse banner, with the $KOIN token as the economic layer.
Khuga Labs published $KOIN’s tokenomics and a first whitepaper setting total supply at one billion, spread across the ecosystem, presale and public sale, NFT holders, team, treasury, liquidity, marketing and partners. The whitepaper describes $KOIN as a Base token, while the Potatoz event and the studio’s planned migration point to Abstract.
Memeland’s side
The Potatoz are a set of 9,999 utility PFPs, each an entry ticket into Memeland’s ecosystem. Memeland free-minted the collection in July 2022 as a follow-up to its MVP set.
The art is pixel-art tubers, a nod to 9GAG meme culture, where posters often close a long thread with an image of a potato.
