I’m looking for a full-cycle developer-artist team (or a talented solo creator) to build a fresh, 2D mobile game inspired by Brawlbots on the Plato platform, only this time for iOS. The core combat-arena feel should remain familiar, yet I want to push it further with new character abilities, entirely new game modes, online multiplayer, and a global leaderboard so players can see how they stack up in real time. Scope and freedom • Engine choice is yours—Unity, Godot, Cocos, or anything else you’re comfortable shipping to the App Store. • No existing art or audio assets are available, so you will handle concept, production, and in-game implementation from scratch. I’m open to any visual direction as long as the style is cohesive and works well on modern iPhones and iPads. • Networking must support smooth online play and integrate an always-on leaderboard. If you prefer third-party back-end solutions such as PlayFab, GameSparks, Firebase, or custom servers, let me know—whatever keeps latency low and maintenance straightforward. • Timeline is flexible; quality takes priority over speed. You can suggest phased milestones if that helps structure the build. Deliverables 1. Playable iOS build adhering to Apple’s submission guidelines 2. New character ability system and at least one extra game mode beyond Brawlbots’ default offering 3. Online multiplayer lobby/matchmaking plus persistent leaderboard 4. Complete original 2D art, animation, UI, SFX, and music ready for commercial use 5. Source code and asset files with clear build instructions Acceptance criteria • Stable 60 FPS gameplay on recent iPhones (e.g., iPhone 11 and newer) • Matchmaking connects global players in under 10 seconds on a standard LTE/Wi-Fi connection • Leaderboard updates within 5 seconds of match completion • App Store TestFlight build passes Apple’s review without critical issues If you have package tiers or service bundles, outline them so I can choose the level that matches the vision. Feel free to ask anything you need to scope this accurately—I’m easy to reach and excited to see how you can elevate the Brawlbots formula on iOS.
