Just as a bit of constructive criticism, I was able to sign in via Keychain, but then the first message I saw was that I need to connect an EVM address.

I hadn't come across that term before and had to Google it. I'd suggest it's good practice that if the first thing a potential player sees is an acronym, you should add the full name in brackets or something, and ideally a brief explanation, rather than just assuming it's something everyone is familiar with (crypto is a complex space, so not everyone will be familiar with every term).

But as others have said, having to pay for an airdrop even if it's only a small amount isn't a great first impression. Trying to pitch it as a Hive game when as far as I can see the only Hive connection is the ability to log in with our Hive user credentials is also a bit questionable.

It might be better to be clear that it's a game run by a centralised business using a Web3 platform but where you can log in using your Hive ID.
