Working Process
The development of Rock N’ Rumble required a multifaceted approach that combined simplicity in gameplay with innovative features to keep players engaged. UpPoint began by working with LiveRocket to conceptualize a unique twist on the classic Rock-Paper-Scissors game. The focus was on creating mechanics that appealed to both casual players and competitive gamers, while also integrating a secure betting system that enhanced the stakes of each match.
To add depth to the experience, we designed a variety of purchasable characters, each with distinct visual styles to cater to diverse player preferences. Our team ensured these characters not only added a layer of personalization but also reinforced the competitive atmosphere of the game. The project also involved building a matchmaking system for online play, which needed to be responsive and scalable to accommodate a growing player base. Lastly, we ensured that the game’s backend infrastructure was optimized for future features, including tournaments and advanced betting options.

The Challenge
The primary challenge in developing Rock N’ Rumble was ensuring the game balanced simplicity with enough depth to maintain player interest over time. While the core mechanics are easy to grasp, incorporating features like wagering and character customization added layers of complexity that needed to feel intuitive and seamless. Designing a secure betting system that protected player data and operated smoothly in real-time was another critical focus.
Additionally, creating a visually appealing and diverse cast of characters required extensive iteration to ensure each design resonated with players while remaining cohesive with the overall aesthetic of the game. Ensuring the backend could scale to support future updates, including tournaments and enhanced matchmaking, was also a priority that demanded careful planning.
- Balancing accessible gameplay with engaging competitive features.
- Developing robust mechanics for wagering and player data protection.
- Creating a backend capable of supporting future expansions, including tournaments.

Rock N’ Rumble launched as a polished and engaging online game, providing players with an exciting twist on Rock-Paper-Scissors. Its secure betting mechanics and vibrant character designs have been well-received, attracting both casual players and competitive gamers. The game’s scalable infrastructure is ready to support future updates, including tournaments and enhanced matchmaking.
