LAMO announced today that they are releasing a lineup of "high-quality vinyl collectibles" in addition to a "unique mobile Augmented Reality (AR) experience, and a fast-paced digital party game." Whoa, three unique experiences in one? How do I get in on this?
Well, you can start by picking up a vinyl figure of one of your favorite streaming "personalities" that include Mixer's biggest star, Ninja. Other figures include summit1g, LIRIK, TimTheTatman, and Dr.DisRespect (bathroom stall sold separately). These figures work in conjunction with the LAMO mobile AR app (Android, iOS) that can unlock additional bonus content in the LAMO game that will launch soon on PC, consoles, and mobile.
Thanks to the magic of QR codes, you can not only have a physical doll sitting on your desk, but you can add them to your game as a playable character. Actually, and this isn't a joke, you cannot play as Dr. DisRespect. Don't like any of those streamers? Worry not because LAMO says additional vinyl dolls and digital in-game avatars based on streamers are going to be introduced soon.
You are able to buy any of these from Target, GameStop, or through the LAMO website. From the looks of things, these figures are about $30 each.
The LAMO digital game integrates the collectible figures and the unlocked mobile app digital content in a fast-paced eight-player arena brawler. Players choose a streamer as their character and jump into free-for-all or team battles for control of the self-destructing arena. The destructible battlefield is a dynamic amusement park-themed collection of obstacles and power-ups where players collect Jelly, the game’s main resource, to level up, build automated towers, traps, and best of all — unlock the big stompy Mech! Danger lurks around every corner, not just from other players, but in the form of Cataclysms, which split the earth and create deadly crevasses players need to avoid or launch over them on their vehicles! The LAMO experience has been described as “The Game Between Games†as its entertaining over-the-top eight-player sessions embrace a quick-action party game vibe, with average games lasting around five minutes per session – making it perfect as a quick and stream-friendly diversion between hardcore gaming sessions.
The LAMO vinyl figures and AR app are available now, and the LAMO game will launch into closed Alpha for Windows PC shortly. Console and mobile versions of the LAMO game are also in the works. As a special bonus, by purchasing a LAMO figure and scanning it via the AR app, players can immediately access the limited-time Alpha test and unlock character-specific in-game content – playable avatar with a custom attack, skins, and unique vehicle – equal to or greater in value than the figurine’s purchase price.
