Exciting Updates for NAMAKORIUM
Polyscape, a Tokyo-based company with the mission "Bringing the future forward," has made waves in the gaming community by rolling out a long-requested solo mode for their popular casual multiplayer real-time strategy game, NAMAKORIUM. Centered around a sea cleaner character, the sea cucumber, players can now tackle the game’s stages without requiring a matchmaking partner.
This solo mode allows players to experience all currently available stages, adjusted specifically for solo play. As part of this update, players will receive rankings based on their completion times, introducing a competitive edge into the solo gaming experience. Presently, there are eight stages released, with plans for additional content in future updates, mirroring the excitement of the multiplayer version.
NAMAKORIUM Leaderboard Contest
To celebrate the launch of the solo mode, Polyscape is hosting a special event called the "NAMAKO Leader Contest." This contest will run from 10:00 AM Japan Time on March 6, 2026, to 10:00 AM on March 9, 2026. Players have the chance to compete on a unique, time-limited stage and earn recognition through leaderboard rankings.
Contest Highlights:
- - Duration: March 6, 2026, 10:00 AM - March 9, 2026, 10:00 AM (Japan Time). Note that time may change.
- - Competitive Format: Clear time will be tracked separately based on the number of players (2, 3, or 4).
- - Rewards: Players ranking in the top three for each category will receive badges that can be displayed alongside their usernames, with the top performers having their names featured in the game credits.
- - Participation: Open to anyone wishing to take part. Note, however, that the contest is designed for multiplayer gameplay.
