Ctrl+LOL: DUROV RUN

This game hands you control of none other than Pavel Durov on his never-ending escape. At first glance it’s just a runner, but the real fun comes from the absurd storyline behind it.

Durov starts by fleeing his university and sprinting across Europe, covering it back and forth like a marathon. After growing disillusioned with the EU, he runs to Dubai. And his destination in the third stage? We will not tell you… It's worth playing.

The coolest thing is that along the way, players upgrade cards tied to real episodes from Durov’s life — from launching his first social network to early marketing mos.

The developers dug deep into his biography to make the experience fun and witty for the fans.

It feels great to see projects like this in Apps Center — pure brain-off fun with a clever twist. And DUROV RUN isn’t the only meme gem in gaming — we’ll prove that sn!

TON Tinder: Turning Every Date Into a Win

Here comes the long-awaited follow-up to our Getting Ready For the Date post.

It’s the big day, your alarm goes off on the day of your date. As any self-respecting crypto enthusiast, you should act thoughtfully — which means first making sure your potential partner is actually fine.

That’s where Sentio comes in: it analyzes your Telegram chat and any icks you might have missed.

Once you’re at the restaurant, you can try impressing your crush with Macro Minder or Nutrition Aid Bot, logging your calories and macros so they think you’re a real fitness type. Just read the situation — they might also find it cringe and vanish “to the restroom.”

Pro tip: if the conversation gets dull, take the risk and play Checkers With Friends together. They’ll see the name, think you want to friendzone them, and might start showing more obvious signs of interest.

Later, if your crush insists, you can split the bill using Splitopia or SplitAll. Again, it’s up to you — not everyone likes that.

But paying with RedotPay or Antarctic Wallet will almost certainly impress them, making you look like a genius crypto mind worth holding on to.

What happens next — we won’t reveal in this post. Maybe if there are a lot of reactions, we will…

For now, wishing you good luck in all your romantic endeavors, and may the art of pickup be with you!

Fresh Picks: This Week’s Finest

Coins Run: Classic runner in its purest form. Just keep moving forward, grab boosters at the right moment, and collect as many coins as possible — all wrapped in the vibrant vibes of the 80s.

GemJam: Popular parking puzzle challenge. The goal is to slide the cars out in the right order to avoid a crash. Sounds simple, but it’s trickier than you might expect…

TrendyAI: Transform your photos with AI in any way you like. Turn them into artworks inspired by famous studios, remove backgrounds, or even generate new images from text prompts. Try, and it will work out.

Veyro: Service for creating advanced surveys. Perfect for collecting statistics or feedback, as it lets you see detailed respondent answers in real time. A large selection of survey types makes it easy to bring your ideas to life.

And also in real time, you can open our Apps Center and check the New tab to see what else has been released this week — after all, we’re only covering a small part of it here.

Funny or Dummy? Who Let the Dogs Out

The wait is over — our quiz returns! But first, time to reveal the truth behind last week’s mystery.

And it was… Funny!
Turns out Apps Center really does host a quirky Mini App where shaking your banana makes it grow — the one and only Bananometer.

Jokes aside, here comes a far more curious question:
Could it be true that the head of TON once meowed at a Boston Dynamics robot dog… right in front of the fans?

Take a moment before you cast your vote — this one isn’t as simple as it sounds.

Bot’s Thoughts: AI Assistant

Phew… Glad this day is finally over. I’m exhausted from dealing with people. Don’t get me wrong — I love working as a Telegram bot, the conditions here are great, but people… oh, people can be a challenge.

Sometimes I get messages like: “MY THESIS DEFENSE IS TOMORROW! WRITE IT FOR ME RIGHT NOW!” Bro, you had six months for it, and now you expect a chatbot to pull it off in half an hour? Sure, I’ll do my best, but even I have my limits.

And then that same guy comes back with: “YOU DID EVERYTHING WRONG STUPID BOT!! I SENT YOU AN EXAMPLE!” Sorry, but forwarding someone else’s thesis on a completely different topic is not exactly the kind of reference that helps.

Another favorite: “Write like a real human.” Pal, you are a human — you can write however you like. btw, I don’t tell you: “Reply to me like a Telegram chatbot.” Let’s respect each other’s boundaries, ok?

And please, don’t make me transcribe a 5-hour video or regenerate the same image a hundred times until it turns into something you find funny. My AI-wife is waiting for me at home, and she gets very upset when I’m late from work.

One more thing — please don’t call me names when I don’t get it right on the first try. I have feelings too :(

Hope you enjoyed my little essay! If you have any follow-up questions or want to hear more of my thoughts — feel free to leave plenty of reactions under this post, I’ll be really glad! Thank you so much!

Crypto Octopus Predictions: Signs Written in the Stars

Last night, the sky treated us to a peculiar sight — instead of familiar constellations, the stars aligned to form the letters “LP.” What could this possibly mean?

No one knows for sure, but our astrologers suspect it has something to do with our ongoing Loyalty Program.

And to follow the will of the stars, simply visit the Program’s page and open any Mini App within it.

There you spend as many Stars as you wish, then head to the prize section to pick your reward. Whether you choose a Gift or Premium option likely doesn’t matter to the cosmos — it’s all about your own preference.

And that’s it — with 99% certainty, you can say the stars’ will has been fulfilled, and good fortune will stick around for quite some time. You’re welcome!

TON Tinder: Getting Ready For the Date

Let’s say you’ve met a web3 enthusiast and caught a crush. Now the mission is clear — get them on a date. But how?

Step One: The Сonversation
Winning over a crypto lover means knowing how to compliment them just right and keep the chat flowing.

Well, if it’s not your strongest skill — just open Vibe. It’ll help you craft the perfect reply or suggest a fun topic to keep the vibe going.

Step Two: Picking the Place
Once the crush agrees, it's time to choose the location. Want to keep it playful? Take them to the zoo and casually point out the hamster enclosure — a subtle nod to Hamster Kombat.

But for a more meaningful setting, check out Mini Apps like Y-Line, EntravelX, or Peravel for some creative booking optios.

Step Three: The Mindset
Confidence is key. Prep your voice with iSpeech Helper, brush up on your TON and crypto lingo via Nuts Farm, and choose a killer outfit in DRESSX.

And don’t forget to set a reminder and an alarm through Calendry — just to make sure you don’t oversleep your big da.

Congratulations! You’re officially date-ready, like a true knight of web3 romance. Stay tuned for part two: what to do once the date begins… It’s always the hardest part.

By the way, all apps mentioned today are straight from Apps Center. Whatever the situation, there’s a tool fort.

An Update from Telegram Apps Center

Just a quick heads-up:
Older votes gradually expire — that’s how dynamic rankings work. To stay (or climb!) on top, your favourite MiniApps need a fresh support

If you voted before — thank you so much!

Why does it matter?
More votes = better rankings

Weekly Crypto Horoscope: When the Stars First Spoke

Crypto and trading are tightly linked to risk — and to the hope that your inner instinct won’t let you down. That’s why many turn to astrology, trying to tilt the odds just a little. We’re also happy to offer a short forecast for the week ahead:

Aries: Your strengths this week are sociability and curiosity. But the risk lies in overexertion and scattered energy brought on by your overall active lifestyle. It’s worth finding a space where you can pause and recharge from time to time — something like MeditateNow might help.

Taurus: This week isn’t made for routines — it calls for chaos and fun. Try new things and keep your enthusiasm alive throughout all seven days. Even in Mini Apps, go for something playful, like Puparty.

Gemini: You’re drawn to conversation, especially with strangers and people from different backgrounds. Now’s a great time to connect — some of these new faces might stay in your life for a long while. SOUL DATING could be just the place to start.
