FROM THE JUMP: ApeCoin Builder 369 Lands ApeCo Grant To Bring His Parkour Game Leap-e To Otherside

From going ape in the trenches to jumping over walls in the metaverse! A parkour game featuring everyone’s Apes is coming to Otherside soon, after this developer received one of the first ever grants from ApeCoin’s recently established ApeCo; giving him both a monetary and motivational boost from his frens around the swamp!

 

On Tuesday, ApeChain builder 369 announced that he secured a grant from ApeCo to build and launch his parkour racing game, Leap-e, which he plans to eventually bring to Otherside.

“This support gave me not only technical strength but also moral and motivational power,” 369 tweeted this afternoon. “Seeing that my vision is on the right track gave me confidence in this journey. this project, which I’ve been building together with the community from the very beginning, now stands on an even stronger foundation. My goal is not just to create a game, but to build a social experience space for the community. At every step of this process, feeling the community’s support behind me has been invaluable.”

 

 

With the grant, 369 told the Gazette that he plans to continue developing Leap-e and hopes to invite $Ape holders and Apes to playtest the game’s first experience in the coming months.

“Leap-e starts as a simple yet competitive parkour game,” he said. “Players will race against time across different courses and prove themselves on global leaderboards. it’s designed to be purely skill-based—rewarding reflexes, speed, and precision. as the game evolves. “We’ll add missions and story-driven modes, so players aren’t just running parkour courses but also following character-driven journeys. the universe will expand with new themed maps, keeping the experience fresh. competitive modes and tournaments are also part of the roadmap, letting the community compete for fun and rewards. this isn’t just a game; it’s a community-powered project that embodies the spirit of the ape ecosystem.”

To 369, the idea of primates doing parkour on Otherside made perfect sense, and mirrors the Web3 world!

“The ape ecosystem’s energy, creativity, and vision really pushed me to create something that captures that spirit,” he said. “I thought: “why not turn this into a game?” parkour felt like the perfect fit because it’s about freedom, speed, and pushing boundaries, just like the imagination of this community.”

 

Tonight, 369 is busy building out Leap-e while also seeking sponsors and partnerships to help grow his company. Anyone interested can reach him on X @Threesixninemf.

“I’m establishing a game studio in the us,” 369 said. “I already have a lead investor who holds a 30% equity stake, and now I’m opening the door to additional investors to accelerate development and scale the launch. I’m currently seeking $10k–30k in funding, in exchange for equity.”

The Bored Ape Gazette will continue to follow 369 and Leap-e, and will let you know when and how you can ape into the game. Stay tuned for updates!
