Earn Crypto with Sarutobi: A Deep Dive into the Play-to-Earn Game
Welcome to Total Crypto Updates, bringing you another video with real, deep dives into the crypto industry. I can’t promise to only speak about crypto, but I can promise everything will be understood. Let’s dive into today’s very dense crypto update.
Today’s crypto update will continue our quest to earn money online. Even if satoshis are an increment of Bitcoin, I would still hold millions of them because they are a direct descendant of Bitcoin. Bitcoin has been proven to be limitless so far, and Satoshi coin can only follow. So, let’s get into today’s new play-to-earn game so we can begin to earn crypto. We are living in challenging times and should hold our liquid assets as close as possible. Crypto is available for the average Joe and can be purchased on a macro scale. Bear markets are not too smart.
Introducing Sarutobi
Here we have Sarutobi. Let’s dive in. This play-to-earn masterpiece has been around for ages. It’s probably one of the first play-to-earn games that didn’t tank. Sarutobi was developed by Mandel Duck to the form it is in now. Sarutobi is a two-in-one game, and by that, I mean there are two different games in one. To be completely honest and upfront, I’m probably the worst at the swing game, so leave some jokes in the comments.
Main Screen Overview
Back to the mobile game’s main screen. Let me go ahead and explain the functions. The top left of the screen shows the audio, which I left muted for the sake of the video. To the top right, you can see a gear icon, which is the settings menu. We will get into that a little bit more later in the video. On the bottom, you see two different icons: one that reads “Flyby,” which is to the left of the one that reads “Swing Thing.” These two are the actual games that you can play to earn Bitcoin. We will elaborate more on Flyby because, as I said earlier, I suck at Swing Thing and honestly never made it past three swings, which you will understand later on in the video.
Gameplay Menu
Moving on to the actual game menu screen. This is the actual Sarutobi gameplay screen menu. As you can see to the left, there are five icons you can choose from: the first one reads “Reward,” the second “Skins,” the third “Power-ups,” the fourth from the top is “Bananas,” and the last one is to replay the level. Let’s dive into what each one of these icons does and how they are a part of the game.
Rewards Tab
The first tab we will deep dive into is the Rewards tab. Once you press the Rewards tab, it should bring you to this screen on your mobile device. As you can see, there are two types of coins that can be collected. The silver Bitcoin icon will show as silver when collected, and the gold one will show as gold when collected. Press the small tip button or large tip button, and the funds will be sent automatically to your ZBD wallet. Also, this game is one of the only games where you can use different wallets to receive satoshis. As you can see on the top right of the screen, this is where you connect your wallet to receive the Bitcoin you collected in the game. On the bottom, it reads “Jackpot available: if you’re lucky, you’ll win 1,000 satoshis when you withdraw,” which is self-explanatory.
Skins Tab
Back to the main menu. Once you are there, press the Skins tab to enter and see the different skins Sarutobi provides. In the Skins menu, you can see there are seven different skins: the first one is the original Sarutobi monkey, which is free. The second one looks like he has a costume for $1.99. The next one is a ninja for $1.99. Also, the fourth skin is a green gecko Sarutobi. The fifth is Sarutobi with a hat, and so on.
Power-ups Tab
Going back to the main menu, we will follow that up with the Power-ups tab. These power-ups can be used to give you an advantage from time to time. In the Power-ups menu, you will see six icons: the banana, which costs 50 bananas, a spring that costs 60 bananas, a bar-sized kite worth 120 bananas, the rocket is 200, the bomb is also 200, and a potion worth 300. Take a look at the bottom of the screen. It reads “Tap which power-ups you want to equip for the next game, then press on to continue.” All of the power-ups can be used individually, or you can make a concoction of power-ups for optimal advantage against the sporadically placed bananas. I’m pretty sure you’re confused, but stay tuned; it will all be understood before the video ends. Each power-up has its own effect, which you will actually get to see live as I will be showcasing my Sarutobi skills.
Bananas Tab
Back to the menu where you can see the tab “Bananas.” Bananas allow you to buy power-ups. So let’s say you want to boost your banana count. You can purchase them here in fiat currency in increments of 100, 500, and 1,000 bananas. All the prices are located just below the amount of bananas that can be acquired for that package. Moving on to the trophy on the mini screen, this trophy allows you to view the leaderboards and stats for the Sarutobi network. There are different categories of stats, and it can be entertaining to see from time to time as you progress.
Gameplay
Now that we’ve made our way back to the menu, let’s get to the Play tab and check out the actual gameplay. It might not look like much, but my God, it’s addicting. Here I will explain what the goals are and how to collect the rewards in Sarutobi. You will start by hanging from a tree on a vine. As you tap the screen, Sarutobi will begin to swing. As soon as you feel you have enough velocity, you swipe right, and Sarutobi will let go. This will thrust Sarutobi into a forward motion through the air, where there will be bananas you will need to collect before you fall. The same goes for the Bitcoin coins and rewards; they will be scattered through the air. To collect them, Sarutobi must be launched into the air and through the floating coins or bananas before hitting the ground.
In this video, you will see Sarutobi collect a silver coin and get to see exactly how many satoshis you will receive for silver coins. On to the next gameplay clip. You will see the power-ups being utilized. First, we have the spring. After launching Sarutobi into the air, you will see the icons on the bottom left. Click the spring at the peak of the launch from the vine to optimize its power. Once the spring is selected in the air, Sarutobi will automatically have a spring barrier around him, which will cause him to bounce when making contact with the ground and collect more rewards. In this clip, we collect a gold coin, and now you will be able to see the amount of satoshis you will receive from a gold coin: 30 satoshis.
Moving on quickly to the next clip, start Sarutobi in the air. When Sarutobi begins to descend, press the banana icon. As soon as Sarutobi makes contact with the ground, swipe left to watch him surf the bananas a little further. The next power-up is the bomb icon, which is one of my least favorites, but in this clip, I actually did it right. Once descending from your peak launch, press the bomb icon on the bottom left, second icon from the right. Wait until you’re low enough to be surrounded by rewards and tap Sarutobi to release the power of the bomb. You will see Sarutobi explode further in the direction you are heading.
On to the bar-sized kite. This you will want to activate at the top of the cloud of rewards. In this clip, I did it completely wrong and missed dozens of prizes. I launched my Sarutobi way too high up and pressed the icon, which made me glide over most of the rewards. Now, with the last two icons, I will teach you a strategy of mine that works for me every time, but it costs about 500 bananas to use this strategy. After launching Sarutobi into the sky, when you get to the top of the level, you’re going to want to press your potion icon, which will make you grow to about 50 times the size of when you started. Then you’re going to want to hit the rocket icon and swipe left. Now, your Sarutobi is ginormous and riding a rocket ship, collecting a majority of the rewards.
Also, I would like to state that once you collect a coin, the rest of the gold and silver Bitcoin will vanish, so I go for the coins first, then go for bananas on my way down. I would also like to elaborate on a few key elements I was not able to show you, only because I have already passed these points in the game. In the trophy icon on the menu, you will need to provide a name for your ranking. This is a more formal way of keeping track of where you are. The second issue I had was showing you that when you start the game Sarutobi from the beginning, there will be letters scattered throughout the rewards. These letters spell out Sarutobi. Collecting these letters will provide you with a boost of 5,000 bananas and a few free power-ups.
