Swipstars is a competitive 1v1 tabletop eSports game with a cult following and long history, invented by Rubian civilization. This game is very popular among them, so you could find the game tables in game lounges, pubs, clubs, schools and even shopping centers!
Rubians are controlling the Swips, which are facing each other on opposite sides of the table. The goal is to get opponent swip's health to 0 by shooting energy balls at them in straight, diagonal or curved shots. Swips have a certain energy capacity and they can restore it by going over randomly spawning energy sources. By hitting opponent's energy source, it gets destroyed, granting player a tactical advantage.
Though seemingly simple, Swipstars concept allows for a high level of added complexity and addictive gameplay with features like:
Temporary power-ups on the field
Swip gear for customizing the stats
Special charged shots
We are using the popular Unity3D engine to develop Swipstars. Currently, the game is planned to be played as an xNFT in Backpack wallet, but we are also looking at releasing both standalone and Saga Mobile app later down the road.
For networking, we are using state-of-the-art multiplayer solution in Photon Fusion. This networking layer is based on the same principles as one of the leading eSports games called Overwatch and supports client-side prediction and other cool features that make online competitive games possible and fair.
We have a lot of things planned for the game, from Swip NFTs, upgradable gear, story mode and various other game modes, which is all possible using Solana Blockchain and your support!
Bridge the gap between PC and VR platforms, have players play together with either device and introduce the new-gen genre of vSports (Virtual Reality sports), powered by NFT technology, allowing players to own and trade their NFT Swips and other in-game items.
Become a leader brand of collectable digital toys market in Web3 just like Beyblade, Bakugan and B-Daman are in Web2. Eventually, we want to bring this game into a physical form as an AR game with physical Swatches and specialized Swipstars tables, and have an anime made about the game, attracting younger generation to take interest in vSports and a new way of collecting.
