Stretch Goal #1 Unlocked!
over 4 years ago – Sat, Oct 05, 2019 at 01:18:10 AM

Excellent work Rental Rumble backers! Rental Rumblers?

You've pledged over $12K making Rental Rumble a reality AND you've unlocked our first stretch goal. Stretch goals are new funding goals that will enhance the game and make it even better. ALL upgrades unlocked by stretch goals will be given to ALL backers who pledged for at least the base game. 

VHS Tokens are even better!

We designed some really cool and cute cardboard (chit board) VHS pieces for the game, but now, we will craft full 3D sculpted VHS tokens. We're stoked this goal unlocked because they are really, really cool and make fighting over these movies even better during gameplay.

Let's get those Late Fee Tokens Upgraded next!

Our next stretch goal will unlock at $15k. If we reach that goal, we'll give the same 3D sculpted treatment to our Late Fee Tokens. Hoping we hit this goal so all the items dropped on the board during gameplay are rad 3D pieces. Later cardboard!

Thanks again to all 319 of you who are backing so far! You made this happen and we are forever grateful. We have 9 days left to make Rental Rumble the best it can be.

Celebrity Challenge #1 - Macaulay Culkin
over 4 years ago – Sun, Sep 22, 2019 at 01:39:21 AM

There's no denying Macaulay Culkin helped define the late 80s and early 90s with hits such as UNCLE BUCK, HOME ALONE, and MY GIRL! We think a card inspired by his iconic HOME ALONE scream would be perfect for RENTAL RUMBLE. 

The Challenge - If we can get Macaulay Culkin to share the Kickstarter page for RENTAL RUMBLE on social media, we will make a card inspired by his iconic HOME ALONE scream! All he has to do is make a post, re-post one of our posts, and/or post to a story sharing the RENTAL RUMBLE Kickstarter page.

How You can help - Below I've provided Macaulay Culkin's social media info, and the posts we've already shared for inspiration. Be sure to tag us @latefeegames when you post!
