Welcome to the Smilo Quake Arena! Here you can train your combat skills in this classic, fast, and frag-tastic skill-based game that defined first person shooters!

Smilo Quake is a unique and epic morph of the retro first person shooter Quake II combined with the hypermodern and revolutionary blockchain technology of the Smilo Platform. Its hybrid blockchain technology allows players to win Smilo tokens, tradable to fiat (euro’s, dollars etc.) once listed on cryptocurrency exchanges after the launch of mainnet in Q2 2019.

After winning rounds in Smilo Quake, players will be able to extract their earned points, tokens or prices outside of the actual game environment. Furthermore, the Smilo blockchain could also be implemented in other games to reward successful players. So, to all the developers, please consider this opportunity and contact us any time! And for you players out there, go win some Smilo whilst enjoying the perks of the revival of this epic game.

Smilo’s version of Quake II will be one of the first games which will be defined by blockchain adoption, infused with some subtle hints to the blockchain community! Smilo’s version of Quake II will be powered by the disruptive Smilo blockchain reward system, which will connect your virtual rewards to the real world! So… What are you waiting for?

Reward system

Smilo’s Quake will make use of the Smilo blockchain reward system, which will connect your virtual rewards to the real world! Meaning that you will be able to win Smilo (XSM) during your Smilo Quake games. So, how does it work?

Well, Smilo Quake will contain four different Quake servers with increasing player difficulty. Everyone starts off as a ‘Rookie’ and will be able to start climbing the skill ladder to become an ‘Elite’ player.

The Rookie server is the starting server for every player. Here you can start to build your stack of Smilo tokens which you can use to advance to the next server. The Rookie server doesn’t require any deposit of Smilo, but it will reward the top three players of a specific round as follows:

  • 1st place 3 XSM
  • 2nd place 2 XSM
  • 3rd place 1 XSM

Once you think that your skills are good enough for more of a challenge, you can join the Advanced, Pro, or Elite server. To play on these servers, you will need to deposit a specific amount of Smilo per round. The deposits range from 1 XSM to 100 XSM and the entire pool of deposits will then be distributed as follows:

  • 1st place 50% of the total deposits of the specific round
  • 2nd place 25% of the total deposits of the specific round
  • 3rd place 15% of the total deposits of the specific round

As you may have already noticed, 10% of the total deposits of a specific round are not assigned to any winners. This last 10% will flow back to the Rookie server to feed those who haven’t collected enough XSM for the other servers. So, even if you lose all of your tokens, you will be able to go back to the Rookie server to win everything back!

By implementing this system, we do not have to be afraid of bots signing up as you really have to play for your Smilo tokens. Also, if you lose all of your XSM, it’s not the end of the world, you can just start farming the rookie server again.

Nevertheless, once a set amount of XSM has been given away, the Rookie bonus will decrease. Its amount will be made clearly visible. This way new players can always join without escalating the amount of XSM that needs to be injected in the servers. Moreover, due to this system, kids and minors can join the games as well.

Smilo Platform

The Smilo Platform is the hybrid blockchain platform that warrants transparency whilst protecting individual’s personal data. Smilo has lots of different use cases besides video gaming, and for more information about the platform, please visit our website by clicking here.

Why did we choose to connect this game to the Smilo testnet?

Incorporating the Smilo blockchain and its tokens in a game reward system shows the versatility of the Smilo Platform. This versatility is created by integrating the Smilo Game Agent into Smilo’s blockchain and due to this integration, implementing various kinds of real life applications will be effortless.

Additionally, this classic game was chosen to test the Smilo reward system, user accounts, transactions, smart contracts, and of course the game as application. All this while providing the community with an exciting and nostalgic demo. Moreover, by playing Smilo Quake, they will be able to influence the direction of Smilo’s testnet.
