This week, a new cryptocurrency based game was released for Android devices (and soon PC and iOS as well) called HODL Rocket. The game has been developed and published by new US tech company Future Co., founded and lead by William Anderson.
This'll be one of the first games that will (eventually) allow you to earn cryptocurrency, primarily Electroneum (ETN), simply by playing. The game is still in its early stages, and for the time being, you can't earn any ETN just yet, so consider this a sort of public beta/practise run for the eventual hard launch.
Electroneum was launched by Richard Ells and his team back in November 2017, with the aim of reducing the barriers to entry for cryptocurrencies and in the process achieve mass adoption of a cryptocurrency, with a large part of the roadmap involving gamifying the currency to help achieve this goal.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on an early beta release, and I have to say it's surprisingly addictive. The controls are nice and smooth, and they really don't take very long to get used to. It's also hard, with my first few attempts only achieving a high score of 19 (I've seen some people reaching the 80s so it can be done!). I'd definitely recommend you go check it out, and take advantage of the opportunity to get some practise in before you're able to earn some ETN through it.
I'll be asking the Future Co. team some questions in the next few days, so if there's anything you'd like me to ask, pop your question in the comments section.
What do you think about this new crypto-orientated game? and what are your feelings about Electroneum as a whole? Let me know in the comments down below, and make sure to follow me for the latest Cryptocurrency News and General Geeky Goodness! Peace!
