Quest For Stoken Contest || My first experience playing the game

in #hive-1731152 years ago

Hello everyone, I am very excited and happy to participate in this contest. It is about a 2D platform gaming which I would share my entry in this post as well. Let's go straight into the business.

In order to participate in this contest, kindly follow the contest link here. The game link is also provided here game launch.
It is a great pleasure to have @ocd featuring this contest.



One may be wondering what game that I have been talking about earlier, the name of the game is called Quest For Stoken. It is a 2D game designed and developed by Skatehive and Dnars DAO. I tried opening the game from my phone but to no avail. It didn't work so I had to use my laptop and boom it opened.

Okay after the game launched, I didn't know how to start the game until I saw press the Space bar at the left-down corner of the home interface. After the pressed the Space bar key, the game launched, and what I saw was a player on a skateboard holding his sword and an American shield.



I still stumbled because I didn't know the keys to start with the game, I had to click the keys around to see what the keys for this game were. I later found out the keys to playing this game after I did that random sampling. Let me share with you guys the keys I found out in this game before we proceed.


KeysActions they perform
Dmoves the player to forward direction or to the right
Amoves the player to backward direction of to the left
Shiftthis allows the player to perform an attack action
Xit helps the player to open crypto wallets and bonfires
Space barallows the player to jump with the skate board
Zallows the player to remove the shield to guide himself
Rthis key allows the player to restart the game
Right click buttonallows the player to kill himself without being attacked

After getting to know about the keys or controllers or this game, we would then move into the gameplay next. I started by moving my player left and right and then jumping here and there. I could remember playing games of such like Mario forever and the likes. I jumped over and sow where the icon says press up arrow which I did on my keyboard and it says a double jump. So I tried the double jump and it was done by pressing double click on the space bar key.




I went further and I met a another hint showing press X to open bonfires. When I got to a bonfire, I then pressed the X key and the bonfire was turned on and a lot of coins came out which I picked them out.



I then further playing the game and I climbed up the blocks up above. Similarly another hint was there again and this time around it was press shift to attack. This really got my attention in a sense that there are some enemies around which would attack me soon. I pressed to make sure and confirm how it works with the attack from the sword.



It was really a great attack which I think striking the enemies once or twice should make them die. I then further to my left and I met an alien in blue attire which started to attack me I then went back and came back to attack it by striking it up several times and what I realized was it being dead.




I was short of live small after that alien attack. I continue by moving to the opposite way as the other way was locked. I moved further and then got another hint where it says send, I didn't understand that but have to try my luck by jumping over. With my first jump I fell and died so had to try again with my next life.

With my next attempt I made it and this was done by double jumping over. As stated earlier double jumping involves double pressing the space bar button. After making it, I went further and to my surprise I entered into a new world.



I played further and in the next world I was meeting pigeons as enemies all over. I was thinking they are good birds until they started attacking me which made me to also attack back.



This second level too wasn't an easy one as I taught it will be, I had use the train path after being killed several times using the down path. That was a good idea because I was only meeting the pigeons only and I managed to kill them all.



I have been game overed for several times but kept on giving my best so as to get to the next stage and finally I was able to get to level 3 or world three of the game. I was really excited getting in there.



I played for some minutes here without being killed but to my surprise I got stacked somewhere and that huge eagle came for me as the food lol.



I was finally dead again in the third world or stage. That wasn't an easy one reaching there though lol.



Challenges that I faced which needs to be addressed


My first challenge or problem with this game was when I was attacking my first enemy, by pressing on the shift key several times made was giving the error for shift toggle keys and I have to quite and go and turn my toggle keys off.

Also, another thing which I find necessary to be addressed is the first menu interface, I think we should have more than the press space bar option to start game there. We can include settings options and the like.

There was no pause menu option for the game and as result of that you can just be killed my aliens whenever you want to pause and do something else important.


Recommendations for Quest For Stoken Game


I must admit that I loved playing the game and would continue playing during my leisure time. I recommend that the integration of the game with hive should be done so as to make it a play-to-earn game.

Also, I recommend that the key for attack should be changed to a different key probably the left click button as we se in most games.

Furthermore, I recommend that the a better menu option is built up so as to help new users learn about the keys or controllers before entering into the main game.

Finally, I recommend the first delay in loading of the game should be worked on at or maybe it was from my side that took that long.


I would like to give a very big hands of applause to the developers of the game for coming out with such a wonderful and interesting 2 D platformer game. Thank you all for your time in going through my entry.
