The Axie Vibeathon Top 8 is here.
An Axie’s body parts become a tower defense loadout. Its genes become combat skills. A Ronin collection becomes a tactical squad.
These builders are giving familiar Axies new ways to play. Now, eight community finalists advance to Round 2 to turn their prototypes into complete games.
Meet the finalists
Round 1 judged each prototype on Axie Core integration (35%), gameplay (25%), product vision (20%), feasibility (10%), and prototype and documentation quality (10%). Each valid entry received three independent judge scores.
These eight games advance to Round 2. Listed alphabetically by game, without ranking.

From prototype to complete game
Round 2 asks builders to finish a focused Axie game and learn from people playing it. Release early. Watch where players struggle and what brings them back. Use those observations to decide what needs work.
We’ll send each finalist 250 USDC in AI tool support on October 9. The full Round 2 brief follows that day, covering requirements, judging, and submission instructions.

Lunacians, take a turn
Pick a game and give it a full playthrough. Each finalist has a dedicated thread in the Axie Discord where YOU can share feedback directly with the builder.
Tell them where you got stuck or what kept you playing. A specific observation gives them something to work with.
To everyone who submitted a game in Round 1, thank YOU for building. Keep going.
The next Axie game can come from someone playing today.
