I am pleased to announce that SaruTobi Island (chapter 1) will be launching soon! however before the official release I would like to perform some beta testing to find any nasty bugs or performance issues on mobile devices.

In order to participate in the beta testing please email contact@mandelduck.com with your device info (e.g. android nexus 7, iphone 6)

What kind of game is Sarutobi Island?

SaruTobi Island is a personal project I am developing in my spare time, it is a low budget, small scale project but I hope it can show the potential of tokens in gaming and let players enjoy their token collection.

The initial idea behind SaruTobi Island is to give a use case to all counterparty tokens. Many counterparty users enjoy collecting Rarepepe, Memory chain, Spells of Genesis tokens etc and along with Koji Higashi from Project Orb I wanted to offer a free fun use case to these tokens.

The main gameplay feature of SaruTobi Island is the ability to summon monsters by combining tokens held in your Book of Orbs or Indiesquare Wallet.

These tokens are not burned and no on chain transaction is needed, the game simply links with your wallet, reads the balance and allows you to use your tokens as game items in summoning monsters for free.

There are currently 66 base type of monsters, and in order to summon all 66 types you will need to try combining different tokens.

For example, you may use BITCRYSTALS & XCP which may summon a Dragon, however BITCRYSTALS & RAREPEPE may summon a wolf.

The monster that is summoned is random but determined, meaning the same combination of tokens will always summon the same monster.

Monsters will also inherit the token images as their custom skin creating an unlimited number of unique monsters looks within the 66 base types.

Special Monsters

I plan to add more custom monsters at a later date, however currently using certain tokens will summon special monsters and or increase the monster’s stats. For example Monsters summoned with Force of Will tokens will result in a monster with higher stats then normal monsters, FoW tokens also have high quality illustrations resulting in monsters that can look very cool where as monsters summoned with Rarepepe may result in Dank looking monsters.

There is a special case for the Rarepepe tokens PEPELEFTLEG PEPEOTHERARM PEPEOTHERLEG PEPERIGHTARM FORBIDENPEPE, which when used together will summon a very rare monster in the game.

Story Mode

SaruTobi Island also features a simple RPG style story mode, SaruTobi lands on a mysterious island and becomes the island’s Monster Rancher, he is tasked with duty of summoning and levelling up his monsters by battling wild beasts around Mt Gox.

In order to release the app soon the story mode will only contain chapter 1 with chapter 2 coming later in an update.

SARUTOBIISL Token

In commemoration of the launch project orb will be soon adding a special SARUTOBIISL token to Book of Orbs memory chain environment! you can grab one in advanced here http://mandelduck.com/sarutobiisland/

Roadmap

SaruTobi island is currently a personal project I develop by myself in my spare time, the focus of the initial launch is to raise some capital from the game in order to help fund Chapter 2 of the story, the development of more monsters, as well as possible multiplayer and tokenization of monsters similar to Spell of Genesis.

In order to help fund the project I ask you simply download play, enjoy the in app purchases and share with friends.
