<p><b>Startup description</b></p><p>My app is a mobile collectible card game for iOS and Android, launched in June 2026. Players collect cards, build decks and compete in asynchronous PvP battles or play offline against AI.</p><p>The game includes a ranked progression system, card crafting through the Forge, a Laboratory system, an exploration map where loot periodically spawns, themed encounters, a daily Altar event, cosmetic skins, random card packs, full-deck packs and purchasable in-game items.</p><p>The multiplayer architecture is built around Firebase. Players select their cards before matchmaking, enter a Firebase matchmaking queue, and both players receive and reproduce the same battle progression asynchronously. This removes the need for dedicated real-time game servers and keeps infrastructure requirements relatively low.</p><p>Since launch, the game has reached approximately 658 combined installs/units across Android and iOS. Google Play currently shows 521 total installs, while App Store Connect reports 137 units.</p><p><b>Key highlights:<b></b></b></p><ul> <li>Launched: June 2026</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Platforms: Android

has only been live for a few months, long-term metrics such as annual revenue, LTV, CAC and churn are not yet statistically meaningful enough to present as mature business metrics.</p><p><b>Team</b></p><p>The app has been developed and managed as an independent project.</p><p>The work includes game design, implementation, balancing, UI, progression systems, monetization, Firebase integration, matchmaking logic, store publishing and live operations.</p><p><b>Tech Stack</b></p><ul> <li>Unity for core game development</li> </ul> <ul> <li>C# for gameplay systems and application logic</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Firebase for player data, cloud saves, matchmaking queues, ranked data and asynchronous multiplayer synchronization</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Google Play Console for Android distribution and monetization</li> </ul> <ul> <li>App Store Connect for iOS distribution and monetization</li> </ul> <ul> <li>In-app purchase systems for virtual currency and digital items</li> </ul> <p>The architecture does not rely on a dedicated authoritative multiplayer server, making the project relatively lightweight to operate and maintain.</p><p><b>Marketing and growth</b></p><p>The app has grown through mobile store exposure and paid user acquisition.</p><p>The project reached more than 650 combined installs/units across Android and iOS shortly after launch.</p><p>Marketing activity has been limited compared with the development effort, leaving room for a buyer with stronger user acquisition, community building and retention expertise to improve the commercial performance of the game.</p><p>The game has already demonstrated real monetization through in-app purchases across different price points.</p><p><b>Revenue and profit</b></p><p>The app monetizes through in-app purchases of virtual currency and digital game content.</p><p>Verified results currently include:</p><ul> <li>Google Play: €41.93 gross revenue recorded between July 1 and September 6</li> </ul> <ul> <li>App Store: $86 in sales and approximately $49 in proceeds</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Multiple verified purchases across different price tiers, including purchases around €1.99, €3.99, €8.99 and €18.99</li> </ul> <p>The project is still very early in its commercial lifecycle, so ARR, churn, CAC and LTV should not yet be treated as mature or reliable long-term metrics.</p><p>Current revenue should therefore be considered early monetization validation rather than an established recurring revenue business.</p><p><b>Return on investment</b></p><p>The acquisition opportunity is based primarily on the value of obtaining a complete, published mobile game with all major systems already developed.</p><p>A buyer receives an existing product with card collection, deck building, asynchronous PvP, offline gameplay, ranked progression, crafting, exploration, recurring events, monetization and Firebase infrastructure already implemented.</p><p>Potential ROI can come from improving user retention, paid acquisition efficiency, store optimization, live events, monetization, community growth and future content releases.</p><p>Because the core product is already built, a buyer can focus mainly on growth, optimization and new content rather than starting development from zero.</p><p><b>Startup

</ul> <ul> <li>Asynchronous PvP matchmaking system</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Card collection and deck-building systems</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Exploration map with loot spawning</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Themed

<li>Existing player data and database, where transferable in compliance with applicable platform and privacy requirements</li> </ul> <p><b>Risks</b></p><p>The primary risk is low long-term retention. Despite reaching more than 650 installs/units, the game has not yet maintained a large and consistent daily player base.</p><p>This can be mitigated through improved onboarding, stronger early-game progression, recurring live content, retention-focused events, community building and more targeted user acquisition.</p><p>A second risk is the short revenue history, since the game was launched only recently.</p><p>On the positive side, the game has already demonstrated real player acquisition and real in-app purchases, while its Firebase-based architecture reduces the need for costly dedicated server infrastructure.</p><p><b>Summary</b></p><p>My app is a complete mobile collectible card game rather than an unfinished prototype.</p><p>The game is already published on Android and iOS, supports English, Italian and Japanese, has real users, verified purchases and a broad set of finished systems including asynchronous PvP, offline gameplay, ranked progression, crafting, exploration, themed encounters, daily events, cosmetics and monetization.</p><p>The main opportunity for a buyer is to acquire an already-developed product and focus resources on retention, marketing, community growth and future content instead of spending months building the underlying game systems and infrastructure from scratch.</p><p>✅ $150 TTM revenue</p><p>✅ 5 customers</p><p>✅ Business model: IAP</p><p>✅ Built with&nbsp;Unity3D, Firebase, C#</p>
