Bork Borks, the retro arcade game built on Algorand, has introduced its third game called “Memory Match” inside the Astro Explorer. The game involves matching items within a specific timeframe, with a countdown at the top of the screen. For every 20 seconds, a player loses an aetherticket. However, by matching all items within a specified time limit, players can earn different amounts of aethertickets.
Moreover, if a player uncovers an enemy hiding in one of the boxes, it will steal 10 seconds of their time, except for Houdini Bork Borks, which can avoid this.
Several in-game traits offer different advantages:
Maverick: Provides double speed.
Houdini: Prevents the player from being frozen by an enemy.
Magellan: Ensures the player cannot get lost.
Junk Collector: Awards an extra aetherticket.
These features enhance gameplay and introduce new strategic elements.
