Stake new Pump game first impressinos? Worth a try?

[Newbie]

Hey everyone! Just saw Stake released some new game called Pump today. Kind of confused - is it like these crash gams I see streamers play? Anyone here tried it yet? Not sure if I understand how it works...

mate its actually decent, you control the pace unlike crash. been testing past 30 mins, feels different when you decide pump timing yourself

monitoring first games... interesting pattern in expert mode timings... certain accounts showing unusual coordination... investigating...

 

[Richie]

Tried all difficulties past hour, here's what I found:
Easy mode is boring but steady, like watching paint dry but at least you don't lose fast
Medium actually feels most natural, good balance
Hard mode will eat your bankroll but those multipliers when they hit...
Expert is pure gambling, don't even try unless you hate money
Already down 2k but I'm telling you, found some patterns in medium mode. Just need more testing money.

 

[Newbie]

Wait, what do you mean by controlling the pace? And what are these difficulty modes everyone mentioning?

 

[DagaW]

Unlike crash where game runs itself, here you choose when to pump. More interactive, more ways to lose money

Boyfriend already lost pretty much on expert mode. Says he's "learning the pattern" pff

if(playerThinksPumpingHelps) { return "copium++" }

listen ere, its proper different from crash cause you're in control. got 50x just taking it slow on medium

Some actual numbers from first hour:
Most balloon pops happening between 1.5-2.5x on medium
Expert mode seeing 80% pops before 1.3x
Easy mode averaging 2.9x but payouts reduced
House edge still the same no matter how you pump

So like... each pump increases multiplier? How do you know when to stop?
