Introducing Powerups, and weekly cricket leader boards
After the change in howzat’s leveling system a month ago, we know you have been anxiously waiting for more. A number of interesting things are in the pipeline, but today we are only going to talk about 3 things.
- The Leaderboard
- The Shop
- The Power-ups
Before, we go into the shop, and new power-ups, let’s talk about the updated leaderboard.
LEADERBOARD
You will see an announcement about the new weekly leaderboard when you login each week.
There are two types of leaderboards,
a) Permanent
b) Weekly
Let’s talk about them one by one.
Permanent: Most Campaign Glory Earned
The permanent leader board is titled ‘ Challenge Mode’. Here you compete with your friends, countrymen, and top players in the world for glory in Single Player Challenges. If your name was present on the leaderboard last week, it might not remain there anymore.
Here’s how you get to the top of Challenge Mode:
Get 5 stars for each of the 80 rounds, and you will find yourself close to the top people in your country. If you fail, you will earn enough glory to still be among the best in your friends. However, if you have the killer instinct, and you fight on each ball, you will eventually become a top player in the world.
It will need a lot of hard work, and discipline to reach the top ten. Good luck!
Weekly Glory: Most glory earned in Multiplayer Games
Now let’s get to the amazing new weekly leaderboards. These leaderboards give you a fair chance to reach the top every week, and earn valuable rewards in the process. The goal for this inaugural week is to earn the most glory in Multiplayer games. You compete every week to reach the top of the leaderboard, and become the best player among your friends.
If you focus on your weekly goal, you can even become a top player in your country every week. Milestones are the best part of a weekly leaderboard. There are three milestones to achieve every week, and with each achievement, you unlock an amazing reward.
For the first week, the rewards include:
- A free power up on gaining 3000 glory playing multiplayer
- 2500 Cash on gaining 5000 glory in multiplayer
- 10 Coins for gaining 10,000 glory playing multiplayer
Yes, you get 10 free coins. Isn’t that wonderful?
Let’s talk about the new shop now.
SHOP
You will see 5 sections in the shop.
- EQUIPMENT
- POWERUPS
- CASH
- ENERGY
- PERFORMANCE
Let’s skim through the new stuff.
PERFORMANCE
Your team needs two maintain their level of performance across matches.
a) FITNESS
b) FORM
FITNESS
Your team loses 10% of its fitness after each game. It takes time for your team to recover.
However, you can get fitness back to 100% instantly by buying the training equipment available in the performance section of the shop.
FORM
Like a real team, if you lose your team’s form drops by 10%, and if you fight back and win, your form will improve by 20%. Otherwise if will take a lot of rest to recover your form. If you end up on a losing streak, restore your form to 100% from the shop and return to the pitch with full force.
EQUIPMENT
It’s now easier to buy equipment, and use it in a game. Buying equipment sends it to your inventory, and you get an option to apply equipment once it is available in the inventory. With the improved UI, you can clearly see how many games does your equipment’s effect last.
If you already have equipment applied, additional equipment will be stored in your inventory.
At the end of each game, you can see the status of your equipments in the team update.
POWERUPS
Powerups are the latest addition to the shop. They help you tackle 3 challenges in the Game
- Hitting sixes against tough ballers
- Being caught out at a critical moment
- Losing confidence due to a few bad shots
There’s a powerup available in the shop now to combat each of these challenges
- Guaranteed Six
- Dropped Catch
- Full Confidence
You can buy, and apply these power-ups during the game, and see the results.
For step by step instructions on how to use a power-up, read our upcoming blog post.
Try them out, and let us know what you think about them.
