Our take on ShapeRockets
Instead of centering a shooter on weapon variety, ShapeRockets replaces its combat logic with a three-way counter system. Shape selection determines both the target to attack and the threat to evade, while floating movement and limited lives frame each match as a series of tactical standoffs.
What is ShapeRockets?
ShapeRockets is an online multiplayer first-person shooter built around Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Players select one of three shapes, attack the shape it defeats, and evade the shape that defeats it. A recharge allows mid-match shape changes. Movement takes place in dark arenas where players float in any direction and illuminate the space with shapes, rockets, and kill explosions. Players can take three hits before dying; after three deaths, they leave the match. Online games support 2–8 participants through a lobby system. Single-player tutorial levels introduce the rules and contain a hidden story. The game also includes a last-shape-floating elimination structure.
