Notcoin’s Not Pixel Game: How It Works, Listing & Downsides

The Not Pixel Game is perhaps the latest addition to list of telegram mini-apps at the time of writing this article and it’s also a new addition to the lineup of mini-apps being promoted by Notcoin. As we all know, Notcoin is the progenitor of all tap-to-earn games on telegram and due to it’s unrivaled success so far, they’ve gained community engagement and trust.

There’s been a wave of telegram mini-apps claiming to have the interest of the community at heart but from what we’ve witnessed, none has been able to rival or even attain the feat of Notcoin. That’s partly one of the reasons why people who are enthusiastic about earning some crypto tokens on telegram by either tapping or playing simple games should take any project being promoted or endorsed directly by Notcoin seriously.

In this article, we will be talking about Not Pixel, the telegram mini-app I love to refer to as one of the new Notcoin applications and with how things are going, it might actually be very interesting. So let’s go over all there is to know about it; which includes, how to play the game, the features accessible on the game and finally, the few upsides and downsides. Without wasting time, let’s dive right into the main purpose of writing this piece.

What is Not Pixel?

Not Pixel as previously stated is a telegram crypto mini-app that enables users paint pixels to earn PX tokens. People love to refer to applications like this as telegram mining apps but that’s not what most of them are, in the real sense.

For instance, Not Pixel is not a telegram mining application, it’s a crypto mini-app that allows users paint pixels to earn potential crypto rewards. Users are provided with a canvas containing 1,000,000 pixels of which, they are required to paint as much as possible to earn PX tokens.

At the moment, the PX token is just an online currency but it’s clear that it will soon become a major crypto asset tradable on exchanges. So for that reason, if you are an enthusiast or someone who constantly participate in tap-to-earn mini-apps, this is just another one for you.

Other Ways to Earn PX tokens On Not Pixel

Apart from the painting part which is very limited because, you would have to return to the game every now and then to paint in order to earn more tokens.

The other available way to earn px tokens is by referring others and there is an additional reward. Apart from the instant 8 PX token or 64 (for premium users), there is an additional airdrop reward for people who are able to refer a lot of active users.

So if you’re able to build a network of users and eventually get upgraded to the rank of Leader” you stand a chance of earning mega drop when the airdrop takes place. At least, according to the information on the referral page.

Want to know how to get your referral link? Simply click on the add friend icon at the top left corner to see the referral page as well as the option to either share your referral link or copy it. Do whatever suits you and get more people to sign up, so you can qualify for more PX tokens and also, more airdrop.

How to Get Started

To start playing the Not Pixel Game, you need to onboard and to do this, you either use a referral link or use the search button. The former is preferable because, you get an instant reward when you make use of a referral link unlike when you sign up directly.

Copy this url – https://t.me/notpixel/app?startapp=f1030460931 and paste on a browser, you will be taken to the telegram bot directly, click on Start to open the mini app dashboard. There you will find the pixels and an three main options by the side.

One is the ⚡ energy icon, the second is a plus + icon and the third a minus ➖.

The plus icon is the most important, click on it to zoom into the pixels and then tap on any where on the canvas and the option to paint will be shown to you.

Then you are to select a colour and click on Paint, the part of the pixels will change in colour, you can continue doing this at various positions till your energy runs out.

After which, you may upgrade boosters or just wait for 10 mins to regain the 5 default energy. To boost the amount of PX you earn for each paint, then click on the energy part on the dashboard and upgrade boosters or simply purchase more energy with stars(not advisable) since it requires money.

Is Not Pixel telegram Game Legit?

As far as I know, there is no one way to decide whether a project is legit or scam from the start. Though there are indications we examine or take closer look at before we review, but in the case of not Pixel, there isn’t much to talk about when it comes to whether it’s legit or scam.

It’s been endorsed by a credible project like Notcoin and recently, Dogs. These two mini-apps have proven to have the interest of their community at heart, so for them to be all out talking about an upcoming project, then there’s a high chance it’s also community driven and legit. In this regard, I would give Not Pixel a pass. 

Secondly, Not Pixel has announced the month TGE will take place and that is November. It’s amazing to know that a project that kicked off barely a week ago has already mentioned listing date. Something that is not common amongst other mini-apps.

It’s fascinating and goes a long way in proving that they actually have the interest of the community at heart. The mini-app doesn’t have tasks that is capable of stressing out users and also, the timeline for farming more PX tokens freely is limited.

Another reason why I think Not Pixel could be worth the shot is the fact that the concept is unique and different. Unlike other tap-to-earn that copies the concept of existing projects, Not Pixel is actually very unique and the first of it’s kind. We all know what happens to most unique projects, they often perform much better than the ones that seemed to have borrowed a leaf from other established ones.

As someone who loves originality, I can’t help but say that, it will most likely be worth the effort or time spent painting!

Cons

Are there flaws? Of course there are areas some users including myself don’t find so appealing and they are as follows;

1. The earning rate is quite poor; if you can’t refer a lot of users and build a network for yourself, then the chances of earning something tangible may not be so high. Considering the fact that, users by default can only paint 5 times at a time and have to wait for up to 10 mins before they can proceed, people who don’t have much refs and can’t spend hours painting, may not have much tokens at the end of the game.

2. Gameplay is kind of confusing and if you don’t calm down to learn how to play the game, you may never get to enjoy or understand what’s happening. This is another area, I feel they didn’t do well. Games are meant to be understood and enjoyed, not the other way round.

Conclusion

Not Pixel telegram mini-app from all indications could be worth the effort being channeled into it. The game is being endorsed and promoted by the most important elements as long as telegram crypto mini-apps are concerned and also, it doesn’t require much effort from the players. If you are a crypto enthusiast, I see no reason to not give it a try.

Thanks.
