Looking for the any and all of the best bitcoin lightning games.
Please and thank your response. This is my first post. HODL!
It's not Web3, but https://www.thndr.games/ makes a few games (six as of this comment) for iOS and Android that let you earn some sats just by playing them.
Unlike games from companies like Voodoo, their ad placement is obnoxious; some full screen ads, yes, but not after every time you tap the screen (as is seemingly the case with Voodoo games).

Socials

Games

  • Bitcoin Bounce - Their very first game; you play as a bouncing object and must tap the screen at the right time to land on a platform and continue bouncing.
  • Turbo 84 - You control a car; swipe left and right to avoid obstacles, collect tokens, power ups, and tickets.
  • Bitcoin Bay - A bubble shooter game; play a set of campaign levels of varying difficulty or go for an endless mode.
  • Bitcoin Snake - Play the classic game of snake and earn tickets to get some bitcoin.
  • Club Bitcoin: Solitare - Play solitaire to earn bitcoin.
  • Tetro Tiles - Think of a fill-in-the-space puzzle game; you're given irregularly-shaped pieces and must fit them in the board, placing them to complete rows, columns, or 3x3 boxes to clear them and free up space.

As @tycoonlover1359 has well commented, you have the THNDR.GAMES games.
- Entertaining - They hardly take up space - quick games - Chance to win sats every day
Besides, you have other options like Zebedee. I personally really like Bitcoin Miner, earning 500 sats a day, no cheating.
The only drawback of Zebedee is that they force you to use their wallet, which is custodial, but it works very well.
I leave you here the BitAkashico games section, in case you want to see the current LN games, and/or future games: https://cryptoshalix.github.io/BitAkashico/#/games

This article covers the subject quite well. Bottom line: some games are well made and fun but don't expect to get rich with that ;-)

What do you mean by web3?

Web3 or Web3.0 refers to an internet powered by various decentralized technologies; usually, cryptocurrencies of some sort (i.e., those with smart contracts) and the like, alongside distributed means of storing data like the Interplanetary File System (or IPFS).
Fireship.io provides a pretty good explanation of Web3 and how it works, though be aware that it's geared towards web developers and programmers more than the layperson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHTcrmhskto. You can probably find other videos on YouTube (or your preferred alternative) that describe Web3.0 in a more generalized sense.
The term comes as an increment of Web2, which is nominally what the internet is now. Web2 or Web2.0 is the general connecting of everyone; I am simplifying greatly, but it's the establishment of an actually social web of people who are connected to each other through the internet. Data flows in considerably massive quantities between entities, all connected to each other to achieve great things.
Web2.0 itself comes from Web1 or Web1.0, which is the early internet. Think static pages on static web servers. It is the bare-bones internet, where you simply ask for something and get it back; you ask for a picture and you get that picture back, you ask for a news article and you get that news article back. The concept of a user's identity on the internet or a website isn't well established, if at all; and therefore the usage of such an identity to customize a page for a specific user doesn't exist.

web3 = shitcoinery

That's why I was confused. Lightning doesn't require any of that.

I don't know of any online game with which you can win fractions of Bitcoin Lightning⚡, so I'll be attentive to the answers🤔

Good 'ol @Siggy47 added a post today about a site that linked to a few android games on their earn sats page.
I was rather skeptical and thought I'd run exodus to check them for trackers and permissions (as they hadn't been checked before). Sadly they were full of both trackers and permissions...
So, there's a pretty big trade off.
If you see a free, non geo-limited android app, whether web3 or not best check them out first on https://exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/
Best of luck - and welcome to SN!
