Tower Pop raises $2.1 million for Web3 battle royale and tower defense game: Omega Royale. The funding round was led by Play Ventures, Agnitio Capital, and backed by angel investor Santiago R. Santos. This round was the second funding round for Tower Pop, with the previous round being closed in early 2021. After this round, Tower Pop has raised $2.8 million in total. The founders are cousins Fredrik Wahrman and Niklas Wahrman.
The company says they are using a new “play-to-mint” model, where players who are dedicated to the game and rank the highest can mint the collectible non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in the game.
Fredrik Wahrman and Niklas Wahrman started Tower Pop in 2020. With Tower Pop, they decided to stay in tower defense games but switch the focus to multiplayer games. Players can enjoy the game as a free-to-play title, but they can also opt to spend money and collect NFTs as well. Tower Pop has just started its second season of Omega Royale.
