Introduction

Project Rush is a casual, multiplayer 1v1 matchup game with mechanics similar to a tower defense game. Each player has a different role, as outlined below:

Player 1: The Defender: Player 1 plays a traditional tower defense battle, gaining the ability to place towers in order to attempt to stop Player 2.

Player 2: The Attacker: Player 2 controls a massive army set to destroy the Defender. This player can customize the type and quantity of minions, as well as their priority targets.

Objective of the Game

Each game will be timed, which is determined by the players’ choice of 3,5, or 10 minutes before the match begins. If the time runs out and the Defender is not destroyed, the Defender wins. If the Defender is destroyed, the Attacker wins. The effectiveness of the Attacker is varied based on the time selected.

Before Matches

• Player is able to upgrade minions/towers with starting Foobar amount of 500.
• Create separate armies/tower selections to bring into matches (like selecting a deck of cards in Clash Royale)
• Options to choose different commanders that give boosts to the entire army/all towers (e.g. a strict dictator-like commander that improves attack dmg for attackers or a priest that improves SOLS for defenders)
• Perhaps only one commander per player so they have to make the choice between having a commander for defending or a commander for attacking
• Can be bought or won through achievements, cannot be upgraded
• Some are joke commanders, like only changing aesthetics
• Upgrade armies with monies?
• Maybe spectate other battles?
• Justice rains from above?

Match Start

• Each player begins with 500 Foobars
• Time selection period: 10 seconds to choose. The lowest time selected by either player is chosen (so that people who are crunched for time can easily play).
• The matches will be balanced for 5 minutes then tweaked to fit the other times.

The Map

For now, we will have one set map, with this design:

Eventually we will plan to allow for players to dynamically shape the map during the match. That will come later, though. Don’t worry about it

Match Mechanics

• Def. starts by placing towers around the map (maybe timed), then def.’s turn ends
• Att. cannot do anything in this turn
• Att.’s turn begins (also timed) in which att. places minions strategically
• During the attack, maybe def. has potions/spells to actively use, with limited effects

The Life Point System: SOLS

How about Stand Unit for Health, Punk(SUHP)? SOLS stands for whatever you want it to. Rough estimates: 100 SOLS for the weakest of the weak; 100,000 for rekt noobs

The Currency System: Foobars (the best we can come up with)

Rough conversion factor: 1 Foobar = a small loan of a million USD omg Weak tower: 250 Foobars Average tower: 1000 Foobars Buffy tower: 2750 Foobars Minions: 50 Foobars(weak) to 1000 Foobars (strong)

Minion Idea

Instead of having set minions, players will be able to create their own, with customized health, defense, and damage.

• Health: x Foobars per SOLS
• Defense: x Foobars per percentage grade
• Damage: x Foobars per SOLS
• Based on the stats, the minions will appear differently
