[Los Angeles, CA] The Haste Arcade has released its newest game – Monster Bombs, a space-themed baseball game built on the BSV Blockchain.
It features the world’s first in-game equippable physical and digital replica NFT items, along with Haste’s patent-pending Instant Leaderboard Payout™ technology.
The game’s protagonist, Tank, is trapped on the planet Avachrome, and must compete in the planet’s home turf derby to get off the dreaded planet. Players must hit a series of squares while avoiding the bombs that are occasionally thrown at the Tank. Points are collected by not swinging at the bombs, hitting singles, doubles, triples, home runs and “Monster Bombs” (supercharged home runs). The more points a player gets, the higher up the leaderboard their score is.
One of the most exciting aspects of the release is the game’s collectibles. Prior to its release, Haste sold 20 Limited Edition Haste jerseys, 10 Limited Edition “Tank” shoes and 125 Limited Edition Haste hats. Each item came with a digital copy of the NFT, which allowed the owner to equip the NFT on the Tank in-game. The goods were sold on the Take It NFT auction platform.
Along with the collectibles, the game also features Instant Leaderboard Payouts™, giving players a new way to play and earn from casual games. For example, players can play Monster Bombs for free, but if they want the chance to earn, they can also play at different paid levels from $0.01 all the way up to $100 per game. If the player makes a level leaderboard, they earn a percentage of each subsequent game. The payouts are immediately deposited into their Bitcoin SV wallet in the form of a micropayment and the player will continue to earn until their score is no longer on the leaderboard.
Joe De Pinto, co-founder of Haste, said: “We are extremely excited about the release of Monster Bombs. The gameplay is impressive for a casual home run derby and the ILPs add an extra level of excitement for players. We truly believe it is the most unique home run game derby on the internet.”
De Pinto continued: “The game also serves as a demonstration of what blockchain technology and Haste can do for professional sports franchises. To our knowledge, there has never been a physical item that a fan could purchase, receive a digital copy NFT of that item, and then actually use the NFT in a video game.
“Imagine every shirt, jersey and hat in the New York Yankees team store coming with an NFT that a fan can go home and equip on their player in MLB The Show. You want to wear the real jersey you just bought and play with it in the video game at the same time! This concept is going to be a tremendous way to drive fan engagement outside of the ballpark.”
