Following a successful beta phase, 77-Bit is proud to announce its go-live! Prepare for an exclusive, 72-hour mint of a free, limited-edition Beta Skin NFT. The development team has suggested that what comes next for the project will be determined based on how well its later phases perform. This special mint isn’t available to everyone. You can only qualify by showing in-game engagement or owning previous assets.
Impressive Beta Engagement
Direct engagement data that was collected through Amplitude demonstrate powerful player retention and engagement throughout the beta window. With 94% player Day 1 retention, the game proved its ability to pique player interest and keep ’em coming back right off the bat. Day 3 retention was still at a solid 91%, showing continued engagement in those very first days.
Since then, retention one week out has dropped to 71%, with just 44% of players remaining engaged three weeks later. Moreover, players played an average of 2.5 hours per day, which speaks to a fairly impressive commitment and fun-factor. Taken together, these metrics point toward a strong start, which bodes well for the future of the game.
Exclusive Mint Details
77-Bit mint Only players who have demonstrated the highest level of in-game commitment are granted access to this coveted mint.
