Limit Break launches Puzzle Panic
Limit Break has initiated testing for Puzzle Panic, marking the developer’s first game release since securing a $200 million funding round over three years ago. This action puzzler debuted on iOS in New Zealand, Australia, and Singapore, generating notable trading activity in the DigiDaigaku NFT collection. Following the game announcement, the floor price of DigiDaigaku NFTs surged to over 1 ETH, with rare items fetching up to 2 ETH (approximately $2,600).
The game features match puzzles where players complete various tasks with the help of different characters. Tasks shown in the trailer include extinguishing a kitchen fire, breaking wood with a karate chop, and participating in basketball games. Planned boss battles are also highlighted.
Game development status
Limit Break has stated that the initial phase is focused solely on gameplay, emphasizing the importance of delivering a quality core experience. The current build lacks web3 features, but the company is concurrently developing its infrastructure and preparing for an upcoming testnet.
Over the past few years, Limit Break has been working on foundational blockchain technology, including the ERC-721C NFT trading protocol and the Apptoken standard, which is utilized by games like Pixels PIXEL $0.005459 ▼ -18%, Axie Infinity AXS $1.06 ▼ -15.6%, and Moku Grand Arena.
One potential web3 feature mentioned in the game’s trailer is the ability to collect and trade stickers, hinting at future integration of blockchain assets as development progresses.
