## Vision

Our vision is to build an addictive, bug-free, multi-platform arcade game that pulls hard on those nostalgic feelings by bringing our players a challenging play-to-earn gaming experience. We want to offer players brief exciting moments of nostalgic fun in their everyday life. Our objective was to be standing head and tail above the litter of low-value doge/dog/shiba/meme tokens plaguing the blockchain. Our world is changing fast which is cool but sometimes you just need those precious five minutes of childhood wonder and glee. That competitive inner-child in all of us pushing to finish the game no matter how hard it is. When sitting in a tram, waiting at the doctors or maybe even in your Tesla, wherever and whenever you have time, 8Bitcro offers you a break from the adult world.
