Pop Rockz World
Pop Rockz World is an iOS multiplayer game that simulates the music entertainment industry.
![This is where your road to stardom begins! Pop Rockz World]()
Players start off virtually unknown in Pop Rockz World but with talent, hard work and a bucketful of luck, you will slowly climb your way up the fame ladder. Along the long ardous road to stardom, you will have to bask in parks and take on gigs in pubs. When you finally gain some fanship, you will be invited to perform at TV shows and grand stadiums to sell-out crowds. With fame comes money, and you can gradually afford snazzier threads, buy pretty instruments, drive fancy cars and stay in swanky apartments.
And on the path to fame and glory, you must continually pick up new skills to improve your performances, release singles to increase your star power and pit yourself against other players in the Pop Rockz Arena to prove who’s better than who!
But once you become a star—if ever you do— will you continue to bask in your glory with millions of wild, screaming fans or will you sink back down to oblivion? If that happens, tough luck -- that’s life in the Pop Rockz World!
Celebs
![Talk and learn from Celebs! Celebrities]()
Celebrities are a big part of Pop Rockz World, naturally. Players can have fun spotting their celebrities, interacting with them and even picking up some star tips from them!
Performances
![Perform at different venues to earn fame and moolah! Performance Venues]()
It's not truly the music industry without performances. In fact, it's the lifeblood of the industry itself, where new talents get discovered and super stars exalt to god-like status on stage. Players start their performances from the humble park and gradually unlock more venues.
Single Albums
![Produce and release singles to increase your fame! Release Singles]()
Players can produce and release music singles to boost their popularity and gain fans. We designed this such that the Player will go through a production process not unlike the real thing - from music production to song writing through to sound engineering and marketing the single.
What's more, after the release of a single, the Player will have a chance of winning an award, gaining loads of fans and even receiving a contract from a major record label to produce an album!
Music School
![Rock the town with cool snazzy moves and smooth vocal pipes! Music School]()
Players get to learn how to do nifty dance numbers and belt like Steve Tyler or Mariah Carey to razzle and dazzle fans and critics alike. Players will get to boost their stats and gain an edge over the other lazy Players who don't bother to upgrade themselves!
Music Showdowns
![Challenge your friends to a music showdown! Pop Rockz Showdown]()
Players can challenge their friends or other Players to a music showdown, where the quickest fingers and better musician will walk away with new-found fans, at the expense of the loser!
Fully Customizable Avatars - Clothing, Makeovers, Instruments, Cars
![Dress like a star! Fully Customized Avatars]()
Avatars are fully customizable with fashionable clothes, hairstyles, and even snazzy instruments and cars to boost their stats.
And Lots More Features and Content
There's a lot more features and content in the works that you are not seeing here, but if you like what you see so far, we can assure you that it's only going to get better!
What We Need the Money For
As you can see from the screenshots, we are well into production and we are looking to launch the game within 2012.
We are looking to raise $25,000 for the following -
Marketing - Marketing an iOS game is become increasingly more difficult and expensive. Most of the top spots in the iTunes store are dominated by big companies like Game Loft and Electronic Arts who simply have the bucks to fling into marketing. However, we are smart marketers and we know how to attract eyeballs with a fraction of the budget they have. Our previous game - Lamebo VS. Zombies - was marketed on a shoestring budget but shot up to the Top 20 most downloaded in the US market and several other stores. We are marketing whizs who really know how to market our game. But low budget doesn't mean no budget. We still need a reasonable amount of marketing dollars to give Pop Rockz World the initial push it needs to get noticed and go viral. Please help us give the big boys a run for their money by supporting us.

Creating More Content and Features - One of the best ways to reward our Players, keep our Players coming back and to attract new Players is to continually roll out new content and improving our features. We have a list of addon content such as clothing, instruments, cars and more to roll out and we just need the funds to produce them.
Music - As music is a very important component in this music themed game, we would like to license great music to insert into the game.
Game Testing - We would like to hire professional game testers to test our game to see if the balancing is well done, so that our Players have a good experience playing our game.
Our priority would be marketing the game to get some traction. If we do not reach our entire funding goal, we will dedicate 70% of the funds towards marketing and the rest towards game testing and balancing. We will then reinvest part of our profits into developing more content and licensing better music.
Perks for You
We have a list of exciting perks as our giveback to our supporters. You can see them on the right.
