2022-11-06
In Space Leaper: Cocoon you are a human that has just downloaded this new game to the phone, but once you start playing it, you discover that the characters in your game are sensient! After being introduced to their world as a “Proxy”, you will understand that the game you are playing is directly connected to another world, around 1000 years in the future! Collect heroes that are called “Leapers” and beat enemies in a super cute retro style pixel game!
What is Space Leaper: Cocoon?
Space Leaper: Cocoon is a Pixel Art Role Playing Game that tries to emulate you as being a normal player of a mobile game, but with the difference you discover you are strictly connected to a future world. You will collect heroes and fight enemies with a team of a maximum size of 8 heroes, spacing from different classes like Fighter, Tank, Assassin, Hunter, Mage and Support and also different Elements like Fire, Wind, Liquid, Order, Chaos and Stone!
Early Game Content
Your Time Space “Phone”
This is your main screen game in Space Leaper Cocoon and as you can see, it resembles a phone!
- On the first tab you’ll have your progress for Survey, The Banners running at the moment, your real time, The Mailbox, and all the game modes you have already unlocked and the others you still haven’t.
- Second tab is your “main screen” phone, you can choose your favorite Leaper to show, your name is in the upper part and the Event running at the moment on the upper right side
- Third tab is your “apps” installed! As you progress into the game story, more “apps” will be installed (with the same process as you do in real life! :D Super Cute!) and they are literally different game content.
Astral Map
The “Astral Map'' is literally the story of Space Leaper Cocoon, and every chapter is a “piece” of tetris that you can connect with others chapters once you finish them. Every chapter rewards you with different goodies, gacha tickets, gacha currency, gears and character shards. The game has no stamina, but repeating the stage after the first completion is only for fun, because there’s no more rewards from story chapters.
Resource Tower
After you clear your first chapter, you will unlock the “Resources Survey”. It’s an upside-down tower you must conquer, defeating all monsters in it. After you conquer the first zone, you will unlock the auto farming tool (or Survey) that will provide you with Exp / Gold based on how much time you let your character passively farm it and how far you have explored the tower. Just remember to check and claim once every 12 hours cause it’s the maximum time for it. You also MUST complete the auto farming zone after every chapter to enter the next one, or you will be blocked.
Analog Campaign (PvP)
The “Analog Campaign” is the PvP in Space Leaper Cocoon. It’s not a real time battle, but you must set your defense team (Middle Screenshot) and fight an enemy player played by AI (Right Screenshot). The reward depend on your rank, from a minimum of 300 Sim Battle Coin (In game Shop Currency) and 10 Token with “Bronze Molten Core 2“ to a max of 1200 Sim Battle Coin, 500 Crystal (Gacha/Premium Currency) and 1150 Token for “Master’s Molten Coin”
Neutron Star
Unlocked after completing some Astral Map chapters, the “Neutron Star” is the first “Hard Content” of Space Leaper Cocoon. You need to navigate a board full of monsters, rewards, items to collect and use during battle, resurrection and healing stations, and try to reach the final boss. This content is reset every 2 days, even if you don’t clear it completely. Also after every fight, the characters used in battle won’t regain HP, so you must choose carefully. There’s also different power up to collect during the Neutron Star, and you can also regen all your characters (even if they are dead) using the Resurrection crystal (max 3 times for every reset)
