Season 1 of Joystick.club Ended. Season 2 begins following IBO Token Fundraiser

Congratulations to all Season 1 Gamers We're happy to announce that Season 1 of Joystick.club has ended. This first season was a fun and exciting one. We saw JOY rewards start at 100 JOY per play. Following the SEP20 SmartBCH Bridge, rewards were lowered to 50 JOY per play, and then further optimized to take into account gameplay performance. During Season 1 we managed to launch 4 games! Block Breaker - the first game we worked on for devconcash based on a classic arcade game Colin Candle Sticks - Hop from one candlestick to the other and don't fall Number Go Up - Tap the Bitcoin Cash rollercoaster guy to keep him airborn Smart Blaster - A space shooter with multiple weapons and levels Total games played for Season 1 was *over 12,000 unique plays*. Our games allowed users all over the world to earn **hundreds of thousands** of JOY tokens! If you look at the current market rate of $JOY, it's surprising to see that thanks to users playing our games, gamers took home over ****$20,000 of JOY tokens****. Users swapped, sold, held, or helped fund liquidity across Mist and Benswap. For that we are thankful. Announcing the Leaderboard top spots for our games for Season 1 The top position for each game will win a one time bonus `1000 JOY` *Their address is below for anyone who wants to tip them for their hard work!*

Colin CandleSticks Season 1 Winner: **Serg0213** - 206 Points `bitcoincash:qpefjk0tpdwurvfuwptfqe95m7l79sp5uczmjzlds8` Play to earn on Bitcoin Cash Joystick.club launched in April 2021. This was shortly after our runner-up status at devcon.cash 2020 in September 2020. We spent countless evenings and weekends building a payment network tied to our arcade games. It became apparent that pay to play wasn't enough. There needed to be a way for users to earn something to keep coming back. After spending countless weeks working on it, we managed to get SLP token rewards working for users playing games. This was the launch of `Pay to play to earn` at Joystick.club.

When Season 2? With Season 1 officially ended. Our games will be temporarily inaccessible while we await for the completion of our JOY Token Sale IBO. https://read.cash/@amalektricity/joystickclub-token-sale-details-25e8b65c Please read more details and participate in our IBO to support funding Joystick.club on SmartBCH. https://benswap.cash/ibo/active?ibo=0x9ab1E5C3C4A4d209473C048CDDDb5F198D5C8eb7 All logged game plays during Joystick.club Season 1 with outstanding JOY will be paid out as soon as possible. During this downtime we will be optimizing and improving our systems. For those who participated in Season 1, you will know that JOY payments weren't always instant.
