From Rocket Lolly Games Ltd.:
Independent game studio, Rocket Lolly Games LTD, today announced that its Kickstarter for its upcoming free-to-play rhythm action game The Rocky Horror Show: Touch Me reached and surpassed its minimum backing goal of $35,000 over the weekend. The highly-anticipated game, based on the hugely popular musical stage show, is slated for release on touch screen mobile devices in 2017.
While core development is underway, Rocket Lolly Games launched its crowdfunding campaign to raise additional money in order to incorporate community feedback and enhance the game with additional characters, outfits, stage settings and songs in order to truly recreate the unique experience of being a part of the participatory show’s audience.
At just the $15 funding level, Beta Testers will get to be part of ‘the laboratory’, granting them advance access to all of the launch content before anyone else, which they get to keep it without extra cost. The first stretch goal at $40,000 will introduce a community polled ‘Fan Favorite’ as the next character.
Working with Andy Leighton, the original music and games publisher on The Rocky Horror Show, Rocket Lolly Games gathered an incredible range of collectable merchandise from both the game itself and the original theatre show including t-shirts, posters, character figurines, an extremely rare signed Mick Rock photo of the original stage show, and limited edition vinyl recording of Richard O’Brien’s original demo-tape used to pitch the show back in 1973. These items and more have been introduced as part of the numerous backer tiers and rewards introduced during the five week campaign.
The Rocky Horror Show: Touch Me has been designed as a free-to-play game because the team felt it was important the game to be accessible as possible, and they wish to able to constantly release new content and features. Players will be charged for premium outfits and to unlock their favorite characters early.
