I am pleased to report that Kecel has solved the Bunny Explosion ARG, being the first player of twelve who participated to solve the mystery.
They won a heap of prizes: $50 Steam Gift Card, 5,000 Pentagons (game and go-commands), a brand new Elite Marble, and all the Pocket Universes unlocked.
Unfortunately, this event made me realize something the moderate way: demographics and statistics show that 12 people played this event in STOPX's release, but that number could be much greater because this event was available since STOP II 1.4u2, which was released eleven months ago. Only one person was able to make it to the final step, while many others struggled early on. ARGs like these are fun, but we promise there will be less complicated steps for future events. There were a total of ten steps to complete, some of them even occurring outside of STOPX. stopx.fandom.com/wiki/The_Bunny_MigrationYou can view more about them here.
Keep playing STOPX events to get more great prizes like this!
Activities have started this month, please go to activities to check them out - @everyone has been notified of the first one. In the next STOPX update, there will be a button ("Activities") where you can jump directly into the stage where the CZ is taking place and you will be able to play it. Leaderboards for activities will be updated for Activities over in the same channel when available.
Speaking of those new updates, we have a new one coming in for STOPX 1.0.7, which will include Activities, bug fixes, minor text fixes, Elite Marbles, prep for future events, and more.
Wait... Elite Marbles?! Yes, that's right! Elite Marbles are coming to STOP DeluXe!
Each of these marbles are unlocked by completing specific requirements or STOPX events of previous, present, and future ones. You might want to look back at the last two events that STOPX ran in order to determine how you will unlock two new marbles that are coming to STOPX. Specific requirements could include finding a secret or getting a certain Award in the game which can be used to unlock one of the Elite Marbles from the store. You can't buy these special marbles anywhere, and who knows - they might have hidden properties that could give you an advantage or something special in STOPX that you wouldn't otherwise see with ordinary marbles.
Please note that the following marbles will become Elite Marbles by the next update, so if you want to purchase them with Pentagons before the next update rolls around, this may now be the time since you will have unlocked them with Pentagons before they become Elite Marbles that would otherwise be obtained by completing certain tasks.
- Maddened Marble
- Angered Marble
- Jiquor Tchotchke
- CyberBall
We can't wait to see how you unlock the Elite Marbles in STOPX and further your progress through your journey!
