The Gala Games tApp ecosystem of games is growing all the time, and the web3 world has made one thing clear– they love tapping into rewards!
We’re thrilled to announce that more than 3 million users are now playing our tapper games, and we’re excited to welcome millions more in the future!
Over last weekend, we launched our 4th Telegram mini app tap-for-rewards game with GALACoin, a new game geared especially toward acquisition of new accounts to the Gala ecosystem. The new game is set apart by its simple referral style reward mechanics. Players receive $GALA when their referred users create Gala accounts, then more $GALA when those users verify their accounts by making a purchase of at least $1 from Gala.
Other than GALACoin alone (which rewards players only in $GALA), each of our tapper games gives players opportunities to collect $TREZ, the upcoming official token of the Gala tApp ecosystem.
An outline of the $TREZ plans was recently released with the $TREZ Litepaper, describing an ongoing system of rewards with both seasonal and daily distribution of $TREZ once the token is initially created in the near future.
With each seasonal distribution, players will receive an amount of $TREZ proportional to their gameplay activity across participating titles. At the time of publication, these titles include Treasure Tapper, Music Coin and Dogs for the Founder.
In addition to the $TREZ rewards determined by gameplay, players can also collect $GALA from each game’s referral reward pool while supply lasts, further enhancing their gameplay rewards.
We’re incredibly excited about the upcoming launch of $TREZ, leveling up the user base of our rapidly growing GalaChain ecosystem. We are as committed as ever to the empowerment of users and developers with the benefit of web3 tech.
Strategy Advice
We understand that you only have so many fingers and devices, so you can’t possibly play all the tapper games at once. But there are plenty of ways to maximize your passive rewards in each game.
Complete your tasks – These games are all about bringing new attention to our ecosystem, tapping into the nearly 1 billion Telegram users in the world. Check into each game’s instant reward tasks for quick and easy accumulation of coinage.
Upgrade your Quests – While they may start small, your upgradeable Quests are the best possible way to collect rewards even when you’re not tapping. We suggest using your collected coins to upgrade your passive in-game profit per hour. Then every time you launch the app you’ll have new juicy rewards waiting for you!
Challenge your friends – Be on the lookout for ways to play with your friends and get more rewards. With gameplay modes like Challenge and Steal, there’s always a little something extra!
Share on social media – Help us spread the word and be sure to use your in-game referral link when you do! Even people who aren’t tapping yet like rewards!
We’re so excited for the 3 million user milestone, even before a $TREZ Season 1 date has been announced! Keep an eye on the official Gala announcement channels and keep your fingers tapping that phone!
Common Ground World is a cornerstone of the Gala Games ecosystem, a truly remarkable and memorable game and always a great time to play.
With a constant flow of new features and updates, regular competitions to win $GALA, NFTs given to active players just for playing the game each month, and an amazing community of players from all over the world, it really pays to become part of the CGW community.
This game was created by some of the most experienced pioneering developers in the social gaming industry, some of the same brilliant minds behind famous titles like Farmville 2, Zynga Poker and Words with Friends.
Originally called Town Star (and renamed alongside a strategic partnership with award winning film project and generative agriculture project “Common Ground”), Common Ground World represents the intersection of one of the world’s most beloved gaming genres with web3 empowerment. In fact, the game was one of the earliest titles in the world to integrate web3 functions with features like real item ownership and crypto rewards for competitive gameplay.
Launching the Game
When you launch Common Ground World (directly in your browser with no need for an app download), you’ll be cheerfully greeted by the Farmer hero and presented with three different gameplay modes:
Common Ground mode
Casual mode
Events
Common Ground
In Common Ground mode, your mission is to dig into a heavily damaged plot of land and create something that thrives and grows. Capturing the essence of regenerative agriculture and the Common Ground movement, this gameplay mode is not for the faint of heart.
When you first begin, reinvigorating the earth will be a daunting task. You’ll only find a small workable corner of land that can be teased into growing anything. The rest must be carefully worked one tile at a time, restoring the proper biomes that will make soil and vegetation thrive.
Think of Common Ground Mode as a long-term and advanced form of gameplay. If you can turn the situation around and unlock the true potential of the land, you may consider yourself a Common Ground World expert, no matter how long it takes to accomplish your goals.
Casual Mode
In Casual Mode, you’ll get a taste of core gameplay with a prebuilt town whose structure varies week to week. The starting formats of these towns are designed to give you well-rounded examples of CGW gameplay, giving you a chance to see what you’re in for as you construct a town from scratch in the game’s core Competition mode.
You’ll start off with a fresh town, which may already have Wind Turbines that produce Electricity, an industrial water supply ready for more advanced production, a Windmill capable of making Flour, Sugar and Salt, and much more.
You’ll first notice that the workers from each of their houses are already hard at it – The Lumberjack is heading out to harvest wood from natural trees on your land, and the Farmer is fetching water from the well to bring it to your Brine fields where a crucial ingredient for salt is grown. Once you have ingredients to mill, select your Windmill to choose a craft and the Miller will also get to work.
Events
The Events category is where you’ll find the weekly competition server, as well as any other competitions that might be happening.
A typical weekly competition takes place over the course of 72 hours, beginning at 10am PT on Tuesday and ending at 10am PT on Friday.
Starting from scratch with a new town, each competitor must build the most efficiently functioning town possible as quickly as they can. Leaderboard positions come down to stars – The more stars, the higher your position on the leaderboard. When the competition ends, the top places on the leaderboard win $GALA prizes, and sometimes additional rewards such as Blueprint NFTs.
The weekly competition event always observes a special meta that gives favor to a single craft or family of crafts, keeping players on their toes and exploring a more focused strategic aspect of the game. Additionally, each weekly competition comes with a new biome combination (type of land and surrounding land) that each player must work into their build.
To ensure you’re ready for the next weekly competition, watch the Common Ground channels of the Gala Discord community. There you’ll find all necessary details of the upcoming competition as early as the previous Wednesday.
COMING SOON – Daily Challenges for Greater Rewards
A new Daily Challenge feature is coming soon that will unlock additional reward opportunities for owners of specific NFTs. These challenges will offer rewards in $SOIL, the upcoming reward token of Common Ground World. Daily Challenges will update every 24 hours, creating a new dimension of strategy for NFT owners!
For the latest info on this exciting new feature as it gets closer to launch, be sure to watch the bi-weekly Common Ground World Town Halls on Youtube (every other Friday at 8am PT) and keep your eyes on the Common Ground World Discord channels!
Play and Win with Free Monthly NFTs
Each month, all Common Ground World players are rewarded with a free NFT in either Common or Rare rarity, depending on how much they played the game.
To receive the Common free NFT, play for 10 days within a calendar month, making at least one in-game trade each day and a minimum of 25 trades for the whole month.
To receive the Rare free NFT, play for 25 days within the month, making at least 1 trade per day and no less than 75 trades for the whole month.
Free monthly NFTs are a great way to start a Gala digital item collection for nothing more than playing an awesome game each day!
Getting Started Strategies
Common Ground World is most enjoyable as you discover tactics for yourself. Strategically speaking, it’s a deceptively complex game, especially for its simple and charming farm town appeal. For a skilled player, a CGW town is a robust ecosystem of timing, resource and workforce management and competitive strategy.
The Gasoline Challenge
The first (and many would say the most important) challenge of Common Ground World is producing a supply of Gasoline that can keep up with the Gasoline expenses of delivering your chosen crafts to neighboring towns. In normal gameplay, you’ll always start a fresh town with 40 units of Gasoline. At first it may seem like a lot, but sooner or later it will dwindle, so start right away working on a way to create Gasoline within your town.
Wages
Your town’s workers won’t get out of bed for free. Literally, they’ll return to their homes and go to sleep if you don’t have any work for them (or worse) if you don’t have anything to pay them! This is why as more workers and more specialized workers enter your town and start earning a living, you’ll need to continue elevating your production tiers to bring in more money with new deliveries.
Selling for More
It takes 10 units of any crop or craft to sell, and with each successful sale delivery, you’ll receive cash and stars based on the difficulty and resources required for the production. For example, Wheat is a low-tier crop – It can be grown simply by watering a field and carrying the harvested wheat to a Silo. So you can expect Wheat to earn a significantly lower haul of cash and stars than a load of Flour, which is a next-tier product crafted from Wheat.
Basically, the more generations of refinement that your raw resources go through, the more money and stars you’ll get for them in the end when it’s time to deliver. And that’s the name of the game.
Build Balanced
The key to Common Ground World is building a balanced town where the various workers and buildings work perfectly together in carefully orchestrated detail.
If you’re producing a certain resource too quickly and don’t have anywhere to store it, then some of the energy spent producing that resource will be wasted.
Layout Matters
IRL towns employ city planners for a reason. Functional towns and cities don’t just build themselves or fall together from a bunch of coincidences. Early on, you’ll want to imagine the expanded vision of your town in the future. Think in long term goals, even when you may be several steps away from their completion.
Because of proximity effects given off by certain types of structures, you’ll want to create designated areas for different types of operation in your town. For example, you don’t want the pollution of a Gasoline operation interfering with your ability to grow crops, nor would you like your Warehouses to cast shade and negatively affect your fields’ access to the sun’s rays.
Most buildings require adjacent Roads, and the placement of Roads is not to be taken lightly. Your workforce will move much faster on Roads
Learn Your Passives
Passive production is one of the keys to becoming a successful builder in Common Ground World. Basically, passive production means creating a situation where resources are automatically provided to a unit or structure that needs them. The simplest example is placing a Wheat Field next to a pond, where it will receive the passive water it needs to grow. If placed where it can get water naturally from the ground, the Farmer will not need to bring buckets of water, effectively eliminating the need for a well in that instance.
Playing with NFTs
Common Ground World is a web3 game with real player ownership of certain in-game items. Items owned as NFTs carry several advantages compared to their in-game counterparts, and some NFT items provide benefits that cannot be found through any standard in-game item.
NFTs can be transferred and traded
NFTs can be instantly placed and removed for no additional cost
Earlier in 2024, Guilds were first introduced to Common Ground World gameplay, bringing a new level of cooperative strategy and team competition. Spend some time in the Common Ground World Discord community and you may get invited to join a Guild, unlocking greater potential rewards and access to new types of competition.
Guilds are led by owners of Common Ground World Nodes. Each Guild comes with a unique feature called the Guild Library, which allows Guild members to check out NFTs from the Guild Leader’s collection for use in the latest competitive events.
Guild membership is controlled entirely by the Guild Leader (invite only), but there’s a good chance that you’ll find actively recruiting Guild Leaders in Common Ground World’s Discord community!
We’re excited to introduce you to this charming farm sim game. Hopefully you’ve found some helpful information in this getting started blog. We look forward to playing with you and seeing you rise up the leaderboard in the weekly competition.
Playing the games in our growing tApp (Telegram mini app) ecosystem is more rewarding than you may think.
Sure, when you play Music Coin you’ll position yourself for seasonal and daily $TREZ distribution (more details in the $TREZ Litepaper). But there is more to the Music Coin reward system than that.
$GALA on TON
We bridged a nice pile of $GALA over to TON (4 Million $GALA to be precise) where it’s now designated as the Music Coin referral reward pool. The bridged version of $GALA on TON is called $TGALA, and you can view the wallet containing the 4M $TGALA on TONviewer at the link below:
Collecting $GALA through referrals is almost a game of its own within the already rewarding world of Music Coin.
As you invite new users who join the game, you will continue to build up $GALA rewards, in addition to the standard in-game rewards that will determine your share of the first seasonal $TREZ distribution.
As you unlock new levels, you’ll have a chance to collect even more $GALA per referred user.
Once wallet integration is complete, you’ll be able to get your accumulated $GALA rewards out of the game and use them however you like in the Gala ecosystem!
But you’ve been warned… Once the 4M $GALA referral reward pool runs out, no more $GALA rewards will be available for Music Coin players, so hurry and invite your friends to ensure you get reward credit!
Music Coin Tips
When you build up a lot of Music Coin, don’t forget to use it on the various Quest options, upgrading your Lifestyle, Location and Instrument skills to enhance your passive profit per hour!
Always check for new reward opportunities in the Rewards tab. These amount to quick and easy Music Coins in-game and they update frequently! And remember to check in and claim your Daily Streak reward, also found in the Rewards tab and worth up to 200K Coins!
Challenge your friends as often as you like! There are no penalties for losing a challenge and it’s all automatic.
Greetings Captains! Hopefully your battles in Season 6 are going well. The first Conquest is just behind us, but there’s always a battle raging in the arena!
We’ve discussed arena tactics and team composition in the past, but today we’re going to talk about the shifting landscape of teams in PvP within Eternal Paradox. What may work in one season may not in another. You’ve got to be in touch with the meta strategy to really be competitive within the arena.
Arena Meta
The arena meta is somewhat flexible. Unlike other games that have shifting rulesets, Mercenaries are pretty consistent in their abilities in the arena. You can reliably assume that your team from last season will fill about the same role in the next, and battles themselves don’t really change.
There are, however, a few reasons that the meta strategy shifts over time. First, there’s season features. Each season, three Mercenaries have a huge boost to their stats. This makes them exceptionally suited to winning in the arena.
In the case of Season 6, Laila, Laction and Bianca are all boosted for the season.
That 100% bonus is pretty significant. For Bianca, that represents more attack than she’ll get from a 7* Weapon. Laction has incredibly powerful crits this season as well, and Laila’s boosted HP makes her shields a HUGE factor in arena combat.
In addition to these seasonal buffs, there are also the season special features that can influence the balance of power within the arena.
In season 6, this means a significant attack speed boost to all water mercenaries. Definitely more in favor of Bianca and Laila here.
Team Evolution
While the abilities of Mercenaries are consistent from season to season, the buffs and features of each season combined with the appearance of new Mercenaries can slowly shift what teams are popular.
In season 1 and 2, you were very likely to see a lot of the following strategy at the top levels of arena combat:
That fast Val meta is definitely still around. As more Mercenaries are introduced though, new strategies arise to combat the reigning teams.
Just a few seasons ago, you were far more likely to see battles that started like this:
When Jin Ryu entered the battle as a new Mercenary, his leader skill with a full team stun after their first hit changed the arena meta entirely! This strategy is still incredibly useful, but the evolution of the game has also brought new tactics.
The Laila Meta
This season Laila has 100% increased HP. She also has this monster of a leader skill. It definitely gains more power from that seasonal buff:
So right away at the start of the battle, your team gets a shield as big as Layla’s health and almost guaranteed evasion from attacks. That’s big. The one hit KO Val strategy is stopped in its tracks entirely by this gambit.
Throw in Laila’s ultimate skill on her first move, and you’ve got an even bigger defensive bulwark. Even if you’ve chiseled away that shield to damage one opponent, they’re getting a full heal. That’s not even mentioning the two hit barriers or the debuff immunity – that puts a serious limit on strategies like Alex’s bombs or Laction’s stacking debuffs.
Suddenly, the meta starts to look a lot like this:
It’s not impossible to fight to victory against a Laila team with a different team composition, but the fast KO strategies of previous seasons have definitely been slowed down.
The rise of Laila makes a lot of other Mercenaries useful in ways they weren’t before. Lucas or William’s shields can refresh or match up to Laila’s, giving you as much endurance as your enemies! Getting a sleep or stun across with Zarkhan or Wang could stop Laila’s ultimate skill before that second set of shields… in fact, why not hop in with Camilla and just silence everyone from the start?
Fighting for Victory
The arena is calling, Captains! How will you fight in this season’s meta?
Get out there and try different combos. See what works with this season’s popular teams. Who knows? Maybe you’ll find a new OP combo that dominates everybody!

I created my Gala account without using the in-game link and my account creation was not recognized by GALACoin. What can I do?
If you created your account in any way other than the provided link within GALACoin, the Gala account creation is not recognized by the reward system. However, you can permanently delete your Gala account through the Security section of your Gala Account options (found at Games.Gala.com) then create the account again through the in-game link to solve this problem.
