↑ Back to Table of Contents5. Simulated Withdrawal Progression and Quest Mechanics Disclosure
The 5-stage "withdrawal" quest is a theatrical arcade storyline. When the 48-hour countdown finishes, you receive ONLY in-game perks: 30 days of ad-free play, an infinite 2X VIP pass, and 100 bonus boosters. Exactly $0.00 in real money or cryptocurrency is ever disbursed.
The Game features an elaborate 5-stage progression quest accessible via the Profile and Money screens that theatrically simulates a cryptocurrency withdrawal workflow. As verified directly in the client source code, the system operates as follows:
| Stage # | Stage Name & Code State | Progression Tasks & Requirements | Theatrical Simulation vs. Technical Reality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | $100 Track Milestone & Gas Feewithdrawal_stage = 1 |
• Reach $100.000 virtual balance milestone• Pay $25.000 simulated "Gas Fee"• Score 5,000 points in a single game • Deploy 5 consumable boosters |
Simulation: Displays text prompting payment of a "$25.000 Gas Fee" to initiate blockchain transaction routing. Reality: Executing ProfileScreen.gd:1155 simply deducts 25.0 from the player's internal virtual float balance (high_score -= 25.0) and sets gas_fee_paid = true. Zero real money or network fees are charged.
|
| Stage 2 | Peer Verification Trackwithdrawal_stage = 2 |
• Invite 20 active players via referral code (WATER-XXXXXX)• Play 10 complete game rounds • Pop 15 water balls using Bomb boosters |
Simulation: Prompts player to complete "peer-to-peer network verification" by sharing referral links. Reality: Advances quest state ( withdrawal_stage = 3) when database counter referral_count >= 20. Purely an in-game social invitation milestone.
|
| Stage 3 | $500 Grand Track & Validation Gemswithdrawal_stage = 3 |
• Reach $500.000 virtual balance milestone• Collect 50 "Validation Gems" (via 50 rewarded ads or $10.000 virtual cash each)• Merge 30 water balls • Claim 2 free gifts in shop |
Simulation: Claims that 50 Validation Gems are required to activate final cryptographic blockchain clearance. Reality: Validation Gems are secondary in-game tokens stored in JellyData.validation_gems. Zero actual validation nodes or blockchain systems are involved.
|
| Stage 4 | Wallet Input & Activationwithdrawal_stage = 4 |
• Enter destination wallet address string into WalletInput field• Tap the "WITHDRAW NOW" button |
Simulation: Presents a simulated crypto address input field (e.g. 0x71C4B89...) and prompts user to submit withdrawal request.Reality: Executes JellyData.start_withdrawal_request(). The text is saved locally to user://jelly_data.json and mirrored to Supabase column player_backups.wallet_address as a plain string. The Game contains zero Web3 libraries, RPC clients, smart contracts, or payment gateways. No transaction is broadcast.
|
| Stage 5 | 48-Hour Processing Queuewithdrawal_stage = 5 |
• Real-time countdown timer running for exactly 172,800 seconds (48 hours) • Displays: "PROCESSING - Network transfer queue active. Node validation finalizing on blockchain." |
Simulation: Displays a simulated live network queue and blockchain node confirmation ticker. Reality: Standard client countdown calculates time against authoritative server time ( SupabaseManager.sync_server_time()) backed by anti-rollback guards. No external transaction queuing occurs.
