Project overview
ChickenPop is a competitive browser fighting game built around expressive chicken fighters, short matches, and skill-based progression. The product is game-first: Practice develops player skill, while Ranked is designed for real-player matchmaking and server-recorded results. Token rewards and cash payouts are not active.
Core gameplay
Ranked
Real-player 1v1 matchmaking. A match is designed as first to two round wins, with ready checks, reconnect handling, mutually accepted rematches, and server-processed results.
Combat controls
Movement, jump, evade, block, combo, special, and charge actions form the control set. Mobile uses touch controls designed for landscape play; desktop uses keyboard input.
Fair play
The client requests actions, but it cannot award itself wins, losses, Energy, ratings, or rewards. Competitive outcomes must be validated and recorded by the backend.
Multiplayer architecture
Ranked uses server-hosted 1v1 match rooms rather than peer-to-peer authority. Matchmaking checks account eligibility, prevents self-matching and duplicate queue entry, pairs two available players, and assigns them to a unique room. The room tracks players, connection and ready state, match state, round state, timestamps, disconnects, and the final result.
AUTHENTICATE→ELIGIBILITY→QUEUE→ROOM→READY→FIGHT→SERVER RESULT
Real-time communication uses WebSocket-compatible transport. A reconnect window allows a temporarily disconnected player to return to the same active room before a forfeit may be processed.
Profiles, records, and Energy
A player profile is associated with an authenticated wallet-linked account and a unique fighter name. The account record is designed to hold rating, wins, losses, total matches, win rate, match history, Energy, referral data, and weekly-arena participation.
- Maximum daily Energy: 20 per registered account.
- Daily reset: back to 20 at 9:00 PM UTC+8, using server time.
- The reset is not additive and does not exceed the normal maximum.
- Practice does not consume Energy; Ranked eligibility is checked by the backend.
- Changing device, reconnecting a wallet, or starting another session does not create more Energy.
Competitive systems
The competitive foundation includes player ratings, a leaderboard, match history, referrals, and a weekly Ranked-points ladder. Tournament brackets, seasons, divisions, moderation tools, replayable match evidence, and prizes remain later-stage work. A referral code may identify who introduced a new profile, but referral rewards are not active.
