Introduction

Rock Paper Scissors (RPS) is the easiest game in the world to play and people of all ages can play it. It is often used on the playground to settle who will be team captain and for a friendly competition among friends. If I had my way, RPS would be an Olympic sport and even be used to determine the next President of the United States. Luckily for everyone else, I don’t make those choices.

We have seen a lot of games that everyone played growing up emerge on mobile devices, such as hangman, Scrabble, and Boggle, but no RPS-type game has been able to provide a unique and competitive experience, until now.

I am creating a mobile game for Apple and Android devices that will provide the ultimate battle ground for Rock Paper Scissors competition with unique gameplay that will keep you coming back for more! This game will have Battles against the computer, friends, and random players, Achievements to earn and a store to purchase power-ups and new Monsters using coins earned in-game.

Okay so what’s unique about it?

The traditional Rock Paper Scissors battle has 3 possible moves: Rock, Paper, and Scissors (Duh). This game adopts the advanced version commonly referred to as Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock, where each move you make will beat two and be defeated by two other moves. This is where I bring in the Monsters!

Instead of you performing moves against another person, you’ll get to choose from a massive collection of Monsters to fight for you. I call it, Rock Paper MONSTERS! Each of the 5 moves will now deal damage to the opposing Monster instead of just winning that turn. The amount of damage dealt increases based on your Monsters stats, which can be increased by leveling up and using items.

The cool thing about dealing damage instead of just winning a turn is that just because you won 2 out of 3 turns, you might lose the match if the other Monster dealt more damage. This gives the higher level Monsters an advantage, but still allows the little guy to have a chance.

After 3 turns, the losing Monster loses one health point and the battle continues until one Monster reaches 0 health. The winning Monster receives their reward and bragging rights, while the losing one plots their revenge.

Pfft, I’ll just focus all my time around increasing a single stat and make it extremely overpowered

Have fun with that. To make things interesting, each player will be able to see the most common played moves that each Monster makes. This adds a heightened level of strategy to help every player make the most strategic moves and also try to trick their opponent into thinking they’ll play a certain move more often.

Okay smarty-pants, if you’ve thought of everything, why isn’t this game out yet?

You got me there, and that’s why I have turned to Kickstarter…

Why Kickstarter?

This is the ultimate crowd funding website with an extremely passionate fan base. I have watched as thousands of people made their own dreams come true with the collective help of all of you. It is amazing how far some have been able to go with your support.

What I need from Kickstarter is to raise enough in pledges to pay for the amazing talent I have found that are ready to make Rock Paper MONSTERS happen.

Here is a short list of what the money will go towards:

• Development
• Composer (Every awesome game needs awesome music)
• Web Service to manage the data and multiplayer functionality
• License fees for tools and integration in the iTunes and Play stores

This game has been in development on paper for well over a year and I’m ready to share it with all of you. Please consider pledging and sharing this campaign with your friends and family to help me reach my goal!

What do I get?
