After two weeks of CyberVerse game being down, we are excited to be back with the latest development update and features planned for our re-launch expected this week!

Check out what we’ve been up to during the downtime

Server Issues
-Hero (our game developer) was improving the game code and the system overall to remove (or reduced) randomly kicking from the server. We will need the communities help to test if random disconnections are resolved, please note that you may still encounter bugs as we are still in the testing phases of CyberVerse.

Bartender Minigame

“P” = it opens nft profile
“N” = it opens “Select NFT character”

Auto-Update

DJ JOB DETAILS:
-As we mentioned, we want connect the game with the community members as much as possible, so we decided to add a minigame that was suggested during the first launch in January.
- The game is inspired from “dance dance revolution” or “Friday night funkin”.

HOW TO PLAY?
- Where players press ARROWS/WASD in time with arrows displayed on a screen, aiming to score points, gain needed rewards tier and earn CYPX!
- 550 arrows in total for each game.
- each correct click +1 points
- each wrong click -5 points
- If you click wrong, you lose points.
- If an arrow is missed, you lose one chance.
- Player has 5 fails = after 5 fails, the minigame stops
- Each mini-game has its own leaderboard. (DJ job/bartender)

Skill DJ-Job effect:
- level 0 => 5 try and -5 points per failure
- level 50 => 10 try and -2.5 points per failure
- level 100 => 15 try and -1.666 points per failure
