“Super Doginals”, a Doge-themed beat-’em-up game, has launched on the Dogecoin blockchain via the Doginals protocol. The best thing is it’s free and comes as DOGE is at a price high not seen in three years.
The game, which is inspired by retro brawlers like Streets of Rage and Fatal Fury, lets players battle as anthropomorphic Shiba Inu dogs and other characters fighting meme-centric foes to stop Rugstar the Wolf from stealing the moon.

The developers have described it as the “first full-fledged game on Dogecoin”.
A retro, action-packed beat ’em up, launched FREE as a Doginal inscribed forever on Dogecoin L1!
minidogeart The game is playable on desktop, mobile and tablets and features game controller support. There are 14 levels and 35 minutes of original music. Players will battle frogs, apes, cats and others and according to creator Pimax the game features “over 1,500 pieces of custom sprite artwork”, as they told Decrypt.
Pimax utilised recursive inscription technology in developing Super Doginals, which is similar to Bitcoin’s Ordinals, allowing for the chaining of multiple inscriptions to support larger-scale applications and games on the Dogecoin blockchain.
This tech not only facilitates updates and patches for Super Doginals but also enables other creators to develop variations of the game.
Pimax has previously launched a shareware demo of “Doom” and a Doge-themed “Tetris” game, known as “Dogetris”, on Dogecoin.
Dogecoin ETF Filing? Analyst Thinks So
The timing for the release couldn’t be better, as Dogecoin has seen an enormous rally over the past few days. Following the Elon Musk rumours, DOGE has gained 114% week-on-week and over 11% in the past day.
Meanwhile, it looks like the potential for a Dogecoin ETF is being considered on Wall Street, following recent approvals of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs that have paved the way for other digital asset products accessible via traditional brokerage accounts.

According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the ETF industry’s willingness to innovate suggests that even Dogecoin could soon see its own ETF, telling Decrypt that he’s surprised such a filing hasn’t already occurred.
The ETF industry is famous for throwing spaghetti at the wall. I imagine we’ll see all kinds of stuff get attempted, including DOGE. I’m actually surprised it hasn’t been filed already.
