Every superhero game makes you grind for a suit you never get to keep. Log off, and it all belongs to the studio. In WGP your hero, your powers and every villain you catch live on NEAR, so what you earn is yours: trade it, lend it to a friend, or retire it a legend.

The cast

Heroes, villains and one very loud editor.

Every character is an original parody. Team up with them, collect them, or web them to a lamppost.

  • The Node

    Hero

    Your friendly neighborhood validator. Bitten by a radioactive node; hasn’t missed a block since.

  • Gwei Stacy

    Hero

    Swung in from another chain. Still counts everything in gwei.

  • Uncle Gen

    Ally

    Said the thing about great power. Says it at every dinner.

  • Aunt Mainnet

    Ally

    Never goes down. Bakes on weekends.

  • J. Jonah Bearson

    Press

    Editor of The Daily Rug. Thinks The Node is a menace. Short everything.

  • Mary Jpeg

    Ally

    Extremely online. Slightly compressed.

  • Gas Goblin

    Villain

    Spikes the fees, then cackles about it from a glider.

  • Doc Octochain

    Villain

    Eight arms, eight chains, one very bad bridge.

  • Sandwich Man

    Villain

    Gets in front of your trade. And right behind it.

  • The Sybil

    Villain

    There are thousands of him. Every one of them is him.

  • With great power comes great responsibility.

    Uncle Gen, every dinner
Everything a hero needs

Swing, fight, level up. Keep everything.

Swing

The whole city, one swing at a time.

Every night the city posts a patrol: villains to stop, neighbors to help and a route between them. Swing it in one go, or pick the stops you like.

  • Five districts, each with its own villain
  • Patrols short enough for a coffee break
  • Chain swings into combos for bonus XP
  • Errands for the neighbors count too
How it works

Get bitten, patrol, then level up.

From sign-in to your first villain takes about a minute. Your hero, its powers and its loot live on NEAR, so they’re yours, not the game’s.

  1. Step 1

    Get bitten

    Sign in with Google or a NEAR wallet. A radioactive validator bites you, and your hero is minted with a name, a suit and three starting powers.

    No seed phrase · no gas prompts

  2. Step 2

    Patrol the city

    Swing between districts, stop the villain of the night and help the neighbors on the way. Catch a villain and their gear is yours.

    A new patrol every night

  3. Step 3

    Level up, or trade it

    Powers level up the more you use them. Keep what you catch, trade it with other players, or lend your hero to a friend for the night.

    Everything you earn is yours

One night’s patrol

Example
Worked example of what one patrol in Sector 7 earns
LineChange
Gas Goblin, caughtboss, Sector 7+120 XP

The night’s haul+120 XP, 1 item

Loot drops straight into your inventory. Web fluid refills overnight; responsibility, sadly, does not.

Worked example: one patrol in Sector 7. Values are illustrative.
The Daily Rug

Today’s front page: hero or menace?

J. Jonah Bearson runs the city’s least trusted newspaper. Every edition is written from what players did the night before, so your best patrol might be tomorrow’s scandal.

  • The Daily RugPage 1

    Web-head strikes again

    Masked validator ties Gas Goblin to a lamppost. Fees fall 90%; editor unimpressed.

  • The Daily RugPage 2

    Who is Sandwich Man?

    Readers report trades eaten from both sides. Police baffled, bread consulted.

  • The Daily RugPage 6

    Aunt Mainnet: still up

    Local aunt marks 1,000 days without downtime, credits early nights and a good loaf.

  • The Daily RugOpinion

    Bears were right

    Editor reminds everyone he called it, again, about something, probably.

Suit up

The city needs
a friendly neighborhood hero.
