What’s coming Next?

We know everyone had a great time, actively tweeting and chatting about the loot boxes, battles, and strategies for scoring higher. However, it’s time for us to sunset the Beta version as we gear up for the next exciting upgrade. This upcoming phase promises not only more fun but also more comprehensive economic mechanics. Stay tuned for these new developments, which are designed to enhance your gaming experience even further!

Blockchain-based gaming is anticipated to lead the current cycle, with many AAA or AA games employing blockchain primarily for cosmetic minting and economic systems. Yet, we envision a future where fully on-chain games transcend the realm of mere narratives or memes. Our goal is to lead these games towards mass adoption, potentially reaching 3 billion gamers worldwide. The “Candy Crush Moment” for crypto games has not arrived yet, mainly due to the lack of robust infrastructure to support massive, fully on-chain games. However, Crypto Rumble has demonstrated the immense potential of Zypher’s ZK Engine, showcasing what it can achieve. We are thrilled about the prospect of enabling more games in the Autonomous World. This marks a paradigm shift in how players, games, guilds, and developers collaborate to create immersive experiences.

What is Crypto Rumble?

Crypto Rumble began as a Proof of Concept built on Zypher’s Game Engine, an infrastructure for Autonomous Worlds. It’s one of the first tile-matching games to leverage ZKP (Zero-Knowledge Proofs) for move-log aggregation and offers a web 2.0 level user experience. The Crypto Rumble PoC was crowned the first-place winner at the BNB Chain Hackathon in Istanbul. Inspired by the PoC, the game has evolved into a fully on-chain, self-evolving autonomous world, brimming with adventure.

About the Beta Test Version

Crypto Rumble offers a captivating match-three puzzle gaming experience, featuring tiles in five colors with icons from our campaign partners. Players slide and match tiles to attack monsters, using the attack power of their heroes. Strategically, you have the option to summon up to three heroes and select three pieces of equipment for each game. Each hero possesses unique ATK powers that vary according to the boss’s attribute and the color of the tiles.
