VISION STATEMENT
Sparkball will become one of the most influential games of all time by targeting three areas: 1. FUN - Be remembered in the same sentence as games like LoL, Counterstrike, and WoW.
2. PIONEERING - Change the way the world views Web3 gaming.
3. HOPEFUL – A legacy of leaving our players as better humans than when we found them.
In Sparkball's first ever Early Access event - Ascension Weekend - in July 2023, Sparkball tallied over 3,000 players. In just ~72 hours of the servers being live, Sparkball:
Saw over 25,000 matches played and over 90,000 hours watched on Twitch.
Scored a 9.5/10 for ‘Is it Fun?’
66% of players stated that when live, Sparkball would 'easily be my favorite game and I'd play it regularly' (The other 33% stated they'd at least play it regularly!)
Additionally, Sparkball participated in an external QA test via GameRound where 100 players gave candid feedback on the game:
98 of 100 would recommend to their friends, 91 would likely return for multiple seasons, and 91 said Sparkball is a game their ENTIRE friend group can agree on.
Sparkball scored in the top 10 out of 450 games in Gameplay, Replayability, and Recommendation
The stats referenced above in the fun section were done with absolutely zero incentives, rewards or even unlocks. Moreover, it's estimated that over 80% of players participating in Ascension Weekend were primarily Web2 users, many originally coming in with a pre-existing negative bias.
With the unique Sparkball / Sparkadia split, we've created a flexible system that not only allows both audiences an outlet, but also encourages cross-pollination, turning gamers into traders and traders into gamers. Learn more in Web3 Overview
No fancy reference quote needed for this one, it's no secret that toxicity in video games is worse than ever. 7 out of 10 players also stated they've quit a game primarily due to toxicity, a problem especially ripe in competitive games like League of Legends and DotA.
Sparkball will reverse this trend. It will leave an indelible, positive mark on its player's lives, whether that's simply some extra help getting through the day or the fond memories of playing years ago leaving a lasting impact.
While Sparkball is competitive, it's carefully designed with three key elements in mind:
Refreshing - Each round creates a clear separation from the action, providing a near full-reset and second chance. Short match times means that stomps are fast, regardless of which side you're on!
Empowering - It only takes one pass, one save, one shot, one stun, to completely the change the game. You're never out of victory's reach, don't give up!
Lighthearted - Remember getting Falcon Punched in Super Smash Bros? You're salty, but you're also smiling. Sparkball's pure fun focus and lighthearted characters give you plenty of chances to laugh, especially when playing with friends.
This happiness extends to our universe as a whole. BE OPTI is not just something we say, it's something we eat, sleep, and breath. Our optimism and passion shines through everything we do.
Next time you play Sparkball, don't forget to check if you're smiling afterwards!
