Now introducing Paparazzi – the new multiplayer PC game from Pringo Dingo Gams. In Paparazzi, one celebrity player avoids the constant pressure of the second player, the paparazzi. Paparazzi is a simple yet competitive arcade-style game of cat-and-mouse, a test of your focus and reflexes, and a satire of celebrity culture.

Right now, Paparazzi is solid small game with a proven mechanic–it’s even been selected to the Indiecade @ E3 showcase–but we need help to take it even further. So watch the video, read all about our campaign below, and donate to help us reach our goal!

The celebrity must escape to their limo with a shred of dignity remaining. They’ve got to dash behind buildings and crowds and collect the praise of adoring fans if their dignity dives too low. The paparazzi must capture photos of the celebrity in order to make money. Chase the celebrity around the level with your camera reticle, unmercifully snapping pictures when they’re in the open.

It’s frantic yet simple–you’ll dash and click at lightning speeds to keep up with each other. It’s competitive–every round goes down to the wire and it hinges upon on who is faster and shiftier. And it’s silly–whether you’re diving behind a DJ booth or letting your celebrity mullet fly in the wind, we promise to try and make you chuckle.

HERE’S OUR GOALS:

Paparazzi is currently a local multiplayer experience with two one-minute levels. It’s pretty replayable already, and we feel like we’ve proven the concept to all of our current players and supporters, but we want to make it an even bigger game.

NETWORKED PLAY

We want to take to Paparazzi to the streets. The internet streets. In order to do that, we need to add real-time networked play so celebrity and paparazzi can go at it from separate computers. Play quick games online with your friends or with matched strangers! Make your way onto online leaderboards!

NEW LEVELS

We want celebrities and paparazzi to be able to duel in a number of arenas. Right now, we’ve only got the basic “Townsquare City” and the thumping “Danceclub Night Club.” With your support, we’ll be making 7 new levels, each with their own gameplay quirks. We’re in plans to add a red carpet premiere, a beach front, a mall, a grocery store, and even a late night dirty streets level (that’s right, these celebrities have baggage).

Please share our campaign with friends and family to help us reach our goal. Thank you!
