Gaming in blockchain has continued to grow, with massive adoption from sport including European Football, NBA, Formula 1 and more traditional RPG titles.

With popularity and demand growing, a new company in the space known as Cryptower, has published their idea of PVP combat gaming. Allowing players to build and destroy blocks accessed through any internet browser.

Developers of the game are calling for players to explore what is possible, combining fun from gaming, and real potential to earn Ethereum that can be spent and used online.

Gameplay features

Cryptower is an Online multiplayer utilizing smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain, putting players against one another to make profits similar to the stock exchange, with new players able to join the game at any time.

The game requires two actions;

Deciding when to add blocks in towers and remove them To Buy or Sell depending on the situation of a tower and its blocks

The game combines the premise of stocks and buildings, similar to floors in a tower. If a user buys on the first floor, and the building grows to 8 floors, the price has gone up. Allowing the 1st-floor buyer, to now sell for profit.

In the same vein, buying when the building is high, let's say buying when there are 10 floors, if the building falls down to 5 floors, the buyer's investment will have fallen and the player will have lost value.

It is a simple game speculating on price movements within a building scenario. A detailed version of the game's description can be found here.

The game is interesting as it is aiming to teach basic strategies in buying and selling within a market. For anyone interested in learning how to trade and earning Ethereum, this could be a very interesting game.

With games beginning to open up cryptocurrency to a wider base, the ability to win and earn cryptocurrencies was only a matter of time.

The Ethereum blockchain continues to let developers grow and test new ideas, with 1000s of applications running on top of the largest blockchain.
