Hard Money Heroes

The old money is gone, and the Crypto Wasteland belongs to the horde. Choose your hero, scavenge weapons across ten ruined districts, and hold the line long enough to make hard money mean something again.

Free play needs no wallet. Ranked runs are checked by the arcade server and published on the LitVM testnet.

Chikun's Escape

Chikun has one shot at getting off the farm, and the tractor behind him and the hawks above are not letting him go quietly. Run, jump, and flap through Ground & Sky, grab every Litecoin you can, and read the next gap before you take it.

STACKED

Down in the back room of the arcade, the ledger never stops falling. Stack, spin, and seal each block to the beat while the worlds behind the board pulse with your rhythm, and save the Halving Hammer for when the stack gets too tall.

Tower of Power

The boss is waiting at the top of the Tower of Power, and every floor in between is packed with his crew. Fight your way up as Lester with punches, kicks, throws, and specials, one elevator ride at a time, and break whatever gets in the way.

    Hard Money Heroes: New Ranked rules, a rebuilt world and a living horde

    Since Beta 2.5, Hard Money Heroes has been rebuilt almost end to end.

    • Ranked plays new rules on an updated map: a retuned level-up curve, district bosses that call in backup, a Cover button on the gamepad, and surf along the coast.
    • The world is rebuilt from 3D models: dozens of props, a dozen new enemies and four bosses, signs, water life, composed mission scenes and shaded districts across all ten areas.
    • Heroes hold long guns in both hands and sprint in every direction, bosses make an entrance, and enemies react to hits, fall and settle instead of popping.
    • Four unlockable looks to earn in your runs, a gamepad weapon wheel, haptics, more gun sounds, and a much faster load on phones.
  • Live

    Chikun's Escape: A new Chikun, course five and wilder storms

    Chikun’s Escape now looks, moves and feels like a different game from Beta 2.5.

    • Chikun is rebuilt from a brand-new 3D model, with the “Let’s Get Lit!” intro before every run and new jump, flap, glide and landing animation.
    • Ranked runs on course five: seven regions, each with its own props and layouts, fairer item placement, and a tractor or hawk that comes after you every few minutes.
    • Four kinds of living storm with wind and lightning, golden-hour light, waterfalls, and the Litecoin token and zkLTC gas can pickups.
    • Four unlockable looks, from the Stormcaller Coat to the Phoenix, and Ranked results that are sent the moment you crash.
  • Live

    STACKED: Hammer 2.0, a daily challenge and two players

    STACKED’s Halving Hammer got cheaper, smarter and easier to reach.

    • Hammer 2.0 costs 12 LTC instead of 20, has its own on-screen button and key, and Ranked counts a well-timed blast near the top of the stack.
    • A daily challenge with a ghost of your best run, a daily streak, and a results card you can share.
    • Two players on one device in Free Mode, a new menu, the Warp lanes back in the journey, and new journey scenes.
    • Four unlockable looks, from Liquid Glass to the Comet Drop, and a first load that went from over 20 seconds to under 2.
  • Live

    Tower of Power: Ranked is open, and the fights run deeper

    Tower of Power went from a Free playtest to a full Ranked cabinet.

    • Ranked is open: climb for the boards with a 0.01 testnet zkLTC entry, plus Tower achievements.
    • Deeper fights: high and low guards, five directional throws, specials, dodge-cancels, feints, and lieutenants with signature moves.
    • Every fighter has a body and outfit of their own, and the floors are full of props to break and walls to throw people into.
    • A new way in with Today’s tower, a fresh climb each day, and four unlockables, from Black Belt to Lightning Fists.

How does Lester's Arcade work?

Lester's Arcade brings original browser games, a shared jukebox, and wallet-based player profiles into one arcade. Start with Free Mode. Sign in with a wallet when you're ready to play Ranked on the LitVM testnet.

Find your first game →Illustrated neon arcade cabinet row
  1. Walk in. Pick a cabinet.

    Every active game has Free Mode. Try a survival run, a quick escape, a puzzle session, or a kung-fu climb. Keyboard, mouse, and touch controls are supported.

  2. Sign in with your wallet.

    Choose your wallet and sign one message. Signing in costs nothing and sends no transaction. Each Ranked run then costs 0.012 testnet zkLTC, confirmed once in your wallet. Get free testnet zkLTC from the LiteForge faucet (0.05 per request, enough for about 3 Ranked runs).

  3. Put your name on your runs.

    Choose a display name and avatar on chain; each change is a small transaction you pay for. Your public profile shows your best scores, Ranked runs, and the achievements recorded for your wallet.

04 / Chase your next best

Every run gives you something to beat.

Each game has global Weekly, Monthly, and All-time leaderboards that rank the best server-checked Ranked score of each wallet (Tower of Power ranks the highest floor reached first, then score). Revisit a run, change your approach, and come back for another try.

Ranked runs are checked by the arcade server and published on the LitVM LiteForge testnet, and each leaderboard row links to its transaction. Weekly boards reset on Monday at 00:00 UTC and monthly boards on the 1st at 00:00 UTC.

Sign in with a wallet to play Ranked and follow your runs on your profile.

A little arcade atmosphere.

Sound on, when you're ready

The jukebox is part of the ritual.

Queue up the Lester's Arcade playlist. Skip tracks, shuffle the mix, and set the volume from the shared music player. The games bring their own rhythm; you choose the soundtrack.

Before your first run

A few things to know.

Need a hand? →
Do I need a wallet to play?

No. Free Mode is always free and needs no wallet. Browse the cabinets, choose a game, and start playing in your browser. You need a wallet only for Ranked.

What does signing in with a wallet do?

You sign one message to prove the wallet is yours. Signing in costs nothing and sends no transaction. Your wallet address is your player identity, so your profile, Ranked runs, and achievements follow you to any device.

Are profiles and leaderboards online?

Yes. Each game has global Weekly, Monthly, and All-time leaderboards that rank the best server-checked Ranked score of each wallet (Tower of Power ranks the highest floor reached first, then score). Weekly boards reset on Monday at 00:00 UTC and monthly boards on the 1st at 00:00 UTC. Every wallet has a public profile with its best scores, Ranked runs, and the achievements the arcade server recorded for it. You choose your display name and avatar on chain, with a small transaction you pay for. Names that break the arcade's rules are hidden on its pages by moderation.

Does Ranked cost money or pay prizes?

Ranked costs 0.012 zkLTC per run on the LitVM LiteForge testnet: a 0.01 zkLTC entry, split 85% to the game's developer and 15% to the arcade, plus a 0.002 zkLTC settlement reserve that pays the arcade's relayer to publish your result. Testnet zkLTC has no value. Any test prizes are paid in testnet tokens that also have no value. Testnet entries are not refunded. Free Mode is always free.

Where do I get zkLTC for Ranked?

Get free testnet zkLTC from the LiteForge faucet (0.05 per request, enough for about 3 Ranked runs). Testnet zkLTC has no monetary value. The player guide at lestersarcade.io/how-ranked-works walks through every step, from connecting a wallet to your first Ranked run.

How are Ranked runs checked and published?

When a Ranked run ends, the arcade server checks it. Chikun's Escape and STACKED runs are replayed on the server from their recorded inputs. Hard Money Heroes runs are plausibility-checked against the game's limits; they are not replayed. The arcade's relayer then publishes the result on LitVM, and your results screen links to the transaction. If publishing fails, it retries automatically, and you can retry it from your profile.

Can I play on my phone?

All four games support on-screen touch controls as well as desktop input. A current browser is required. Performance varies by device; the games include settings for controls, audio, and visual effects.
