What is Planet Mojo? 

Crafted by Mystic Moose, Planet Mojo is a fascinating alien world where creatures known as Mojos emerge when a strange object collides with the planet. These creatures fight with the planet's warriors to combat an unknown threat. Mojos can be spawned from Moj-seeds or purchased from the NFT marketplace. They are the central characters in Mojo Land, a land-based game, and Mojo Melee, an auto-chess battler. Both games are part of the Planet Mojo universe

About Mojo Land

While Mojo Land is still in development, players can purchase NFT plots, known as biomes, to cultivate and raise Mojos. Each biome boasts unique features and rarities that influence a Mojo's growth and abilities. Cultivating these lands yields resources that can be used to craft battle stones to enhance Mojo's abilities. 

About Mojo Melee

Mojo Melee is now free to play on browsers and Android devices. To access the game, go to the official website and click "Play" to create an account before linking it with your crypto wallet (MetaMask). After that, choose a Mojo character and set up your team for combat. 

The Gameplay

Mojo Melee, in short, is an auto-chess battler where players compete against each other with a team of Mojo and Champions. Mojos are plant-based 3D creatures playable in the game, while Champions are warriors drawn from various clans to assist Mojos in battle. 

Each player is required to form a collection of Mojos, Champions, and SpellStones. A team in Mojo Melee is made up of 1 Mojo unit, 4 Champion units, and 2 SpellStones. Non-NFT holders will be given a set of default units, which consists of Leaf Mojo, Brooka Clawhaven, Froda Swamhag, Sumatra Stronghorn, Dark Brightley, and 2 SpellStones (Meteorite and Flower Power). 

Each round within a tournament involves a planning phase where players upgrade and deploy units. Once the combat phase begins, players only need to sit back and watch their teams battle. 

Mojo Melee has two game modes: Duel and Melee. While the combat in both modes is identical, the number of players and conditions for victory are different. 

In Duel modes, players will go up against a single opponent. The first one to win three rounds is the winner. Players can upgrade their Mojos and Champions and switch their strategies on the fly. 

In the Melee mode, 8 players will compete in a 2-stage competition. Gamers will first compete in a group phase, with the top two players from each group going into the semifinals, followed by the final round.
