Zano Forum

o7 Lil-King ty for spreading the word

Hey everyone, indie dev here. I made a crypto-themed match-3 roguelite and ZANO is one of the five playable coins, so I figured I'd show it here.

You pick a coin as your conviction and ride it through timed rounds. The coin is never what gets you, the leverage is. It rises automatically every round, and from round 2 on you choose each round: cash out and bank a real win, or push and risk liquidation. Knowing when to cash out is the whole game. Pick ZANO and you get its hero ability, Ghost Chain: for a few passes every special tile detonates as a full board wipe.

Provably fair, no server. Every run outputs a log of every move plus a SHA-256 hash. The bundled verifier replays it headlessly and lands on the exact same score, so any claimed result can be checked by anyone. And with competition keywords, everyone who enters the same keyword gets the identical board sequence. That means anyone can run their own competition without me: post a keyword anywhere, players post their proof files, results verify locally. No accounts, no backend, nothing to trust.

Longer term I'm looking at anchoring the proofs and a leaderboard on-chain, on Zano. If that's something you'd want to see, I'd like to hear it.

Feedback on the game itself is welcome too. And if anyone wants to try the competition side, I'll post a keyword in this thread.
