I don't think the underlying game is fun or interesting and the blockchain shtick is the only thing it's got going for it which imho is a detractive quality. I think its only merit is that it sated the author's interests.
"See, look! An application for blockchain! I told you it's not just for speculative assets!"
I have no clue how a "contract" would contribute to that idea at all, and would in fact pose more risk to vulnerabilities and hacks than would exist from a centralized architecture.
> its frontend is highly composable too - just drop in JS code to extend! Eagerly looking forward to new and exciting vulnerabilities this will open players to!

Mm, quite - I can't help but feel that most Blockchain-based-Thing announcements are little more than exercises in domain-specific omphaloskepsis.

I have this recurring idea of a game where each player can construct their own islands, and players can travel around the world from island to island. Think Animal Crossing meets Skyrim. I have no clue how a "contract" would contribute to that idea at all, and would in fact pose more risk to vulnerabilities and hacks than would exist from a centralized architecture.
You could build islands and they'd be placed somewhere in the world for people to sail to, you could create quests set on your island etc. There was even an object inventor for creating equipment.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't know if it is intentional, but your use of omphaloskepsis seems to be an ironic form of omphaloskepsis in its' own right.
So after connecting your wallet, no matter the ominous per-tile player-created contracts, every keypress drains your wallet.
Oh, and of course in the author's example they can "fish" at a certain tile and every "fish" is an NFT - but of course it is!
A "permissionless collaborative surface" that is nothing but a barren wasteland of nothingness fuelled by a desperation to find a reason d'être.
What you've created there is a sandbox, maybe, but not a game. There's nothing to do there, no goals, no sights, and connecting wallets, deploying smart contracts, and literally paying for every step you take doesn't sound like fun either.
