Mobile game players can now take part in an esports challenge of their own - and win US$100,000. But they’ll have to act fast.
The Mad Croc competition is in its final week of searching for its 4th finalist to face off against three other opponents, with the winner taking home the cash prize. We chat with the endless runner game’s developer Tribeflame to get some insight on the competition.
Q. What makes the Mad Croc game more than just another endless runner?
We have a unique systems of currents that will impact your croc character. The currents keep getting stronger and stronger, and eventually they will likely kill you. The challenge is to swim with the currents to reach as far as possible. Swimming against the current will slow you down, and you will not get to the next energy point in time.
Q. Why choose the endless runner genre to create an esports game and competition around?
We think that an endless runner is a really good candidate for running e-sports on mobile. They have the broadest appeal of all games, are very easy to pick up and have a clear goal to compare between players. It's an individual sport, of course. Not all sports need to be team sports.
Q. What was behind the decision to offer a $100,000 cash prize in a competition?
We wanted to do something different. Lots of companies burn a lot of money on advertising campaigns. Why not give that money to the game's fans instead?
Q. Is it open to players around the world, or just certain countries?
It's open globally. This is a truly global competition where everyone has an equal chance of winning!
Q. Any tips for players to improve their play?
Go with the flow. Learn to see the currents, they are the strategy in this game. Also note that the levels stay the same. You can learn how to play well if you just remember.
