Critterrupters
SteamIt's been a few months since the Critterbyte TCG was released and it's already been replaced by the latest craze: Critterbyte Chips! A brand new augmented reality game that lets you find and battle Critterbytes in your town through a CriTer (Critterbyte Terminal). The makers of Critterbyte Chips are hosting a special competition; come to Nikkolo Island, where the game is made, and take on the Critterbyte Club Challenge. The first to claim victory at all the clubs will win a fabulous prize. Exciting!
Alfa the Alpaca has been saving up their money and it's time to take a trip to Nikkolo Island to get a CriTer which comes with a choice of a Hangolin, Wallablaze or Aguatto Critterbyte Buddy. With their buddy in tow, Alfa is ready for a new adventure full of exploring, capturing Critterbytes and conquering the Island's Clubs.

On Nikkolo Island, Critterbyte battles take place in real time only pausing to let you pick your moves. Each move requires a few seconds to charge up before it's used but if a Critterbyte is hit whilst charging they'll be interrupted! Their turn is missed, they'll gain a debuff from the Critterbyte who attacked them and take additional damage if they're interrupted again. However, offence is the best defence, can you master battles and win without taking damage?

Building up your team of Critterbytes will be more varied than lowering HP and chucking capture devices. Each of the wild Critterbyte you encounter will have a specific set of conditions to increase their download chance above 0%. Inflicting poison could raise it by 10%, a blaze attack by 30% and perhaps an interrupt is 50%, meaning each Critterbyte will need some preparation to download and add to your team.

Both you and your buddy are on this adventure together! In addition to looking cute and following you around, they'll learn skills to help Alfa navigate the island. Digging for treasure, leaping up cliffs and walking on water are some of the abilities you'll be rewarded with for claiming victory over a Critterbyte Club.
Taking on Critterbyte Clubs will challenge your team building by getting you to defeat all the trainers and the Club Leader, who will use an extra rule, in one go and with limited healing. Defeat them all to meet the creator of Critterbyte Chips and win the prize they're offering to victors of this island challenge!
