Developer says Atari's Asteroids game is not based on blockchain

Kautuk Kundan, founder and chief executive of Stackr Labs, said on Platform X that Atari's latest crypto arcade game, Asteroids, was not built "on-chain", despite the game's claims to be "on-chain". Kundan adds that he and his team at Stackr Labs broke the leaderboard of Atari's recently launched Asteroids game without playing any games, manipulating the game's score rankings by sending "API calls" to Web2 servers, proving that the game wasn't actually "loaded" at all. It is reported that Asteroids is a crypto arcade game based on the Base chain launched by Atari.
