Aglet review

Aglet is an app that develops on the popular Move-to-earn (M2E) concept, motivating people to engage in physical activity for a reward.

At the moment, you can get various resources in the app, which can be used in the game itself.
The team is going to enter the crypto-space with the product.
To do this, they are already creating an NFT on the blockchain Immuttable X, so it is not excluded that in the near future we will see a token from the project.

How to start

You can do this by going to the website and selecting your OS:

Mechanics and gameplay

In game menu

The menu in the game is made quite convenient and swaps from left to right or vice versa, a total of 5 main screens:
The far left screen is the map, by scanning it you can find points (about them below).
1.WEAR - the sneakers you are currently wearing.
2.SHELF - your collection of sneakers (shelf, closet). Click on any sneakers here and click ROCK'EM NOW to put them on.
3.SHOP - store (from the developers) where you can buy new sneakers for gold or regular coins.
4.MARKET - store or even supermarket where users themselves place their sneakers for sale, respectively, other players buy from them.

Main characteristics of sneakers

Clicking on any sneaker in the marketplace or in your collection will display its characteristics. What do they mean? Let's take the YEEZY 350 V2 "MONO ICE" as an example:

EARN RATE (65) - the minimum number of coins you will earn by walking 1000 steps in these sneakers.
MAX BOOST RATE (1040) - the maximum amount of coins you will earn for 1000 steps.
DURABILITY (48) - the durability of the sneaker. The higher the value, the longer your sneakers will be worn.
CLASS (TIER 3) - class sneakers, especially does not affect anything. It comes in 6 to 0: the smaller the number, the higher the class and the more expensive sneakers on the market.
LIFETIME STEPS (6063) - shows how many steps you walked in these sneakers. If you see the sneakers in the store/market this indicator will not be (because you do not have the sneakers yet).
PURCHASED PRICE (8.1k) - the approximate cost for which you can sell sneakers on the market, provided that they are new. Often the figure is greatly inflated, and it is better to look at the current prices from sellers on the market.
REPAIRS REMAINING (1/1) - An important indicator of how many times your NFT sneakers can be repaired after they wear out (about repairs see below).
These are the main characteristics of Aglet sneakers.

Dressing for the weather

The Aglet app uses GPS to scan the terrain and pull up the weather forecast, thereby wanting you (your game character) to wear the weather shoes. This is important! Why?

The more suitable sneakers you choose for your hero, the more coins you will earn on the walk (the index on the sneakers MAX BOOST RATE), you will have the maximum BOOST.

Choose sneakers for the weather so that these three indicators are as full as possible (as much as possible).

Marks on the map

By scanning the map you will see three kinds of points:

REPAIR - repair your sneakers for free.
DEADSTOCK - here you can resurrect your completely worn out sneakers.
STASH - secret points with a bonus inside (can be coins or new sneakers of different levels).

It is enough just to walk up to the point a few meters away, and you will be automatically prompted to activate it.

Tokenomics

There are two coins in the application:
⠀
1. RA - you can get for steps, referrals, take boxes on the map or get for selling sneakers;
⠀
2. GA (Gold) - you can buy from the bank card, find a rare item in the boxes or sell for them sneakers on the market.

Pros and Cons

Disclaimer

Play-to-Earn games can be highly risky due to price volatility. It is worth remembering that the tokens used by Aglet are not only in-game currency, but also cryptocurrency traded on an exchange. This type of investment requires a balanced approach. Gamers' investment in the game could suffer. We do not encourage you to invest your money in such products, and we are not responsible for any money lost. All investments you make are at your own risk.

FAQ

What are the advantages over other M2Es?

The main advantage is weather tracking and a lot of activities on the map

Will there be a balance with so many parameters?

From the experience of the editors and player feedback, the developers have balanced all the parameters and respond quickly to reports of broken mechanics

Conclusion

Aglet showed a new perspective on M2E and very interesting solutions that set it apart from the competition. Let's hope that the project will develop as planned and we will continue to follow its development.
