Once you’re grappling for leaderboard position with the best hero hunters in the game, you’ll know you’re among the Superior elite. Ready for Challenges?
All About Speed and Kills
Superior’s Challenge runs are not for the faint of heart, and low level characters should enter at their own peril. Updated weekly, these special runs won’t cut you any slack.
Your Challenge score is determined by two equally weighted components: Your speed and your number of kills throughout the run. Finding the right balance is up to you, but in the words of the Ronin, your mantra should always be “Kill more, kill faster.”
Each Challenge run will cost you a Challenge Key. Challenge Keys are accumulated by saving any level of Earth in normal gameplay mode.
Just like the various Private Lobby “Earth” gameplay modes, a Challenge run goes through a complete sequence of specially assembled stages.
Just like in standard gameplay, players will progress through the sequence above, completing a variety of missions, killing enemies and collecting Juice for new superpowers. Between every stage, you have a chance to take a rest in the bar, spending your Credits on perks or healing, swapping out weapons and injecting new superpower for each Juice canister you’ve collected. But you’ll need all the additional powers and upgrades you can get, because as you progress through the stages toward the boss fight, the levels get more challenging.
For completing Challenge runs, you’ll still collect character XP and level up, but it’s still a good idea to do as much leveling as possible before you start taking on the week’s challenge. Rest assured that competition for the top leaderboard spots will be tight.
Advice for the Resistance
Taking on power-crazed super heroes on multiple timelines of the ruined earth is one thing, but going up against Resistance hunters from other timelines is– well… challenging. Don’t forget that every Challenge run costs a Challenge Key.
We suggest grinding up your skills and XP taking on the different earths in Private Lobby mode. As you do this, you’ll accumulate a nice pile of Challenge Keys for the week. Then once you’re almost ready to upgrade your favorite Prime’s Infamy, spend your Challenge Keys and give yourself the best shot at the Leaderboard. The Bartender is sure to raz you hard if you don’t measure up at the end of a Challenge. For a bucket of bolts, he sure likes to cop an attitude.
Weekly Refresh
The Challenge leaderboard resets weekly, giving you a new opportunity to secure a spot on the leaderboard and get your hands on the week’s awesome prize. Challenges rotate weekly between different objectives, bosses and themes, always keeping you on your toes.
Duos and Trios
Even in Challenge mode, you can team up with your fellow hunters. You’ll find separate Leaderboards in each category (Single, Duos, Trios), each with prizes for the top finishers.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when hunting with friends:
Don’t waste time passing and sharing items, unless you can do it fast.
Share items you don’t need by clicking your mouse wheel in front of them.
Don’t wait for each other, but stay close enough for a revive if needed.
One weak link can end your run in a hurry.
There are more baddies when you have more players… Lots more.
Use gestures and graffiti for voiceless comms in-game.

The VOX POPULI have decided that it’s time to start introducing some of the unsung heroes of the VOXVerse!
To start, we decided to sit down with Bolts McWhiffles in the newly created crafting room that is like a second home for her. This is a very capable squirrel, right at home in her trusty self-made robot contraption that helps her and has all sorts of tools and contraptions available on it to help her put things together. Bolts uses this machine as if it were an extension of herself.
She is the creator of almost every recipe that can be crafted in the VOX universe. The Leonardo da Nutci of the VOXverse. You know the creator of the Mona Peanut…
Vox Populi: Hey Bolts! Nice to meet you.
Bolts McWhiffles: Nice to be here.
VP: So where did you come from? How did a squirrel become the master of crafting with the VOX?
Bolts: Ah, my origins are as tangled as a squirrel’s nest! I was once a carefree baby nut collector, frolicking in the dappled sunlight. Then — bam! — I found myself all alone, like a hazelnut forgotten in the back of the pantry. Gala Girl, the kindest VOX you will ever meet, scooped me up and brought me to her workshop. And there it was—the magical moment when I discovered my true calling!
I started playing around with nuts and bolts and putting things together. I figured out I had a real gift for it. Far more than most of the VOX. After a time, I took over the workshop. I created these fancy 3d printing machines and have been teaching VOX on how to craft ever since.
In this real gameplay shot from development of Project Cerberus, we can see Bolts McWhiffles in action alongside VOX !
VP: But how did you become the VOX crafting guru?
Bolts: Well, I invented the Nut-o-Matic 3000 — a 3D printer that churns out widgets faster than a caffeinated chipmunk. And I taught the VOX how to wield those printing machines and little tools. They owe me a lifetime supply of hazelnuts, by the way.
VP: Is there a favorite thing you like to build?
Bolts: Anything that uses nuts of course! [McWhiffles chitters at her own joke] Seriously though, I like to build Idols. They have unique shapes; are a bit more complicated to build. The VOX have figured out how to use those idols to gain power, or to gain knowledge of more advanced items to create.
VP: Do you see anything new going on in the VOXVerse?
Bolts: Well, I have been helping the Vox Populi on creating even more recipes and items to build- and places to store them. I have been supplying specs for rooms, doors, windows and all sorts of exterior items to create to help the VOX create places to live. Its a big, exciting task.

As web3’s early adopters, we all share the challenges of onboarding new users to a new way of thinking that will empower them with ownership and rewards. One of the most significant challenges has been the transition of users from familiar web2 platforms with a focus on convenience and ease of access to the innovative and decentralized realm of web3.
In the midst of a year that has been relatively brutal on crypto markets in general, a groundbreaking partnership between the widely used messaging app Telegram (with nearly a billion worldwide users) and (The Open Network) TON blockchain is poised to change this dynamic, offering a seamless and user-friendly bridge between the two worlds.
Telegram, with its staggering 900 million users worldwide, has become a pivotal player in this transition. Although Telegram and the TON blockchain are not directly affiliated—following regulatory intervention that necessitated their separation—their relationship remains symbiotic, benefitting not only Telegram and the TON foundation but crypto and web3 adoption as a whole.
The blockchain is now independently managed by the TON Foundation, leveraging Telegram’s extensive user base to introduce blockchain technology effortlessly into the hands of millions of users.
A key element of this integration is the innovative use of Telegram Mini Apps (TMAs). These lightweight, Javascript-based services operate directly within the Telegram interface, eliminating the need for additional app downloads or any kind of steep learning curve.
Users can engage with TMAs for a wide range of activities, from shopping and banking to in-game payments and decentralized services. The integration of TON with Telegram has already seen remarkable success, with Tether issuing the widely used stablecoin USDT on TON, enabling free transactions for all Telegram users through an interface they are familiar with.
Gala Games and the Treasure Tapper Phenomenon
At Gala Games, we are excited to embrace this revolutionary approach by introducing our own Telegram mini-app: Treasure Tapper. This engaging “tapper” game allows players to complete tasks and collect coin rewards, which will soon be minted on both TON and GalaChain, enhancing the interoperability and utility of the rewards.
Treasure Tapper is designed to be incredibly user-friendly, making it easy for players to start tapping and earning rewards instantly. With just a few taps, players can dive into a world of rewards, preparing themselves for the upcoming $TREZ minting event (date TBA). This event will give each user an opportunity to transform their collected coins into tokens on the blockchain, an attractive chance for both seasoned and new users to experience the benefits of web3 technology.
More Tapping, More Rewards
Earlier this week, Gala Music was thrilled to announce the launch of their inaugural tapping Telegram mini app game as well! This is yet another way for free players to stack rewards in preparation for a minting event that will bring them into the realm of crypto reality!
Music Miner: EARN $TREZ will offer players another opportunity to prepare for the initial minting of $TREZ on GalaChain and TON. Enjoy a sleek and unique musical journey, tracing your success from aspiring artist to global smash hit superstar! 🎧
The integration of TMAs within Telegram and their potential for decentralization on platforms like TON represents a significant leap forward in user experience. TMAs can strip away many of the complexities traditionally associated with Web3, such as wallets and self-custody, offering a streamlined and familiar interface that users are already comfortable with. This innovation has the potential to redefine how users interact with blockchain technology, making it accessible to a broader audience.
As we prepare for the launch of Treasure Tapper’s $TREZ minting event, we are thrilled to be at the forefront of this movement, demonstrating how quality crypto projects can effectively onboard users from Web2 to Web3. By leveraging the existing user bases of platforms like Telegram and integrating seamlessly with the TON blockchain, Gala Games is committed to providing an unparalleled gaming and earning experience.Stay tuned for more updates on Treasure Tapper and join us in this exciting journey as we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of Web3 gaming. Get ready to tap, earn, and experience the future of blockchain technology with Gala Games.
