At Valo Motion, we are committed to creating immersive, fun, and engaging experiences that make people move. We understand that the essence of a captivating game lies in its ability to offer instant gratification alongside lasting engagement. It's with this philosophy that we proudly introduce our latest offering—Mine Time for ValoJump, a game set to redefine casual puzzle gaming on the trampoline.
Mine Time isn't just another game; it's a carefully crafted universe designed to appeal to a broad demographic. From young adventurers of age 4 to adults looking for some leisurely activity, the game is thoughtfully tailored to engage players at their own pace.
In Mine Time, the players transform into cave explorers diving into the depths of ancient caves, rich with treasures from long-forgotten mining civilizations. The deeper they venture, the more lavish the treasures become, adding extra layers of excitement and delight to their trampoline adventures.
The gameplay focuses exclusively on stomping on a grid of blocks, each activating a different set of rewards or challenges. By focusing on this simple but addictive mechanic, Mine Time offers both simplicity for newcomers and depth for seasoned trampolinists.
Each 2-minute game round offers opportunities to focus on quick-level completion or methodical exploration, depending on your strategy.
Inspired by the compulsive appeal of casual match-3 mobile games—though not overtly so—Mine Time creates a rewarding ecosystem of visual and auditory delights. The game showers players with a constant flow of 'gems,' inducing a sense of satisfaction with every leap. This psychological reward system taps into the same gratification loop that makes mobile games so addictive, but it does so in a healthier, more active setting.
As the lead game developer, Lauri Lehtonen shared his inspiration behind Mine Time:
“In essence, our goal was to create a game for ValoJump that consistently rewards players for their performance, rather than punishing them for incorrect actions. This approach allows Mine Time to appeal to a wide audience. The game is designed to have lots of audiovisual effects happening constantly, which adds to the instant gratification and short-term goals that players seek. It's a constant stream of rewarding moments.”
Mine Time isn't only a treat for players, it's a golden opportunity for park owners to diversify their revenue streams. The game's quick rewards and easy goals make it perfect for pay-to-play setups, drawing players of all ages. Park operators can harness this wide appeal for a variety of promotional strategies.
At its core, Mine Time reinforces Valo Motion's company vision—it makes people move, and it does so in an eternally rewarding manner.
Mine Time not only amplifies the fun for players but also adds a robust offering for park owners. With its broad appeal and low staffing requirements, this new game promises high throughput and excellent monetization potential for the operators.
The game automatically updates into ValoJump platforms starting October 16th, 2023.
