Five ways FiGGYZ Verse could look

Same plaza, same features, five art directions. Every demo is playable in the browser:

Real FiGGYZ. Your collection, your buddy and every display shelf use the actual figures, converted from the product art.
Go inside. Walk into the Points Store and the Mission Hall.
House Portal. Go to your own house, or type the code a friend shared to visit theirs (try MIKA-2741).
House editor. Press H at home: buy and place furniture, change wallpaper and floor, and expand from Studio to Manor with FiGGYZ points.
Avatar editor. Press V to change skin, hair, outfit, hat and what you hold.
Live on the big screen. Our YouTube stream plays on the jumbotron above the fountain. Walk up and press E to watch with sound.
Talk to Pip. The shopkeeper chats, sells you decor and has a daily gift. Captain Vela suggests a mission team, and mika_figs is home if you visit.
Your collection. Eight FiGGYZ with rarity, level, trait and power. They stand on the display shelf in your house.
Team missions. Pick a mission on the board, choose up to three FiGGYZ, and check the success chance before you send them. They come back with points, items and a level up.

How they compare

My first read, scored 1 to 5 where 5 is best. "Art cost" is scored so that 5 means cheapest to produce.

Where I would start

Diorama HD-2D, dressed in Sticker Pop

The totals are close. I weight "Brand fit" and "Stands out" highest, because the Verse has to give people a reason to log in that the app does not.

The figures stay as the same pixel sprites that are on the box, so a customer meets their exact FiGGYZ in the world. The lit 3D diorama around them makes the Verse feel premium and different from a phone pixel game.

Sticker Pop's die-cut stickers, halftone dots and wavy stripes already are the marketing look. They make a strong UI, event and drop layer on top.

Looks 01, 02 and 05 share one art pipeline: pixel sprite sheets plus props. Pixel Town can then be the low-power mode for old phones at almost no extra art cost.
