Bouncemasters News

[p]Today we’re releasing the final update of the year for Bouncemasters - and we’re excited to share a brand-new experimental feature with you 👀[/p][p][/p][h3]🏆 Challenges Update (Beta)[/h3][p][/p][p]We’ve added a new Challenges system, featuring hard, one-time challenges designed for players who want an extra test of skill.[/p][p]By completing these challenges, you earn Prestige Cups - a special counter that is displayed next to your coins.
For now, Prestige Cups are all about status and prestige.[/p][p]To unlock challenges first you need to finish the main game quest - get to the Pengu girl![/p][p]⚠️ Important:
This feature is currently in beta and will definitely continue to evolve. We decided to release it early because your feedback is extremely important to us.[/p][p][/p][h3]🔮 What are Prestige Cups for?[/h3][p][/p][p]At the moment, Prestige Cups do not affect gameplay or balance in any way.[/p][p]However, we already have long-term plans for this system:[/p]

• [p]Expanded challenge mechanics[/p]
• [p]More meaningful rewards[/p]
• [p]Future characters customization options[/p]

[p]Prestige Cups are meant to become an important part of that future system - so earning them now will matter later 😉[/p][p]Some challenges are intentionally very difficult, so don’t expect an easy ride!
[/p][h3]❤️ We need your feedback
[/h3][p]Please keep in mind that this is a test feature, some things may be broken and many things may change in the future. Let us know what feels fun, what feels frustrating, and what you’d like to see next.[/p][p]And finally…[/p][p]🎆 Happy New Year!
