Self-Titles
Light Trails - Mobile Puzzle
Puzzler for Android and iOS. Player must repeat a sequence of tiles lighting up in a certain, or random pattern. On the basis of Object-Oriented Programming, Inheritance and Polymorphism was a great addition to the product, multiple GameObjects did not require individual scripts and increased the performance of the game on all tested devices.
Breakaway - Block Breaker Variant
Block Breaker with a twist, pulsating tiles, health and damage functions including a high score table, and power-ups. Two versions were created, one with C# and GameObjects, the latter still using C# but introduced my own Dictionary to monitor data to save and reuse "destroyed" assets. An algorithm tracked each object that was created, stored it, and once its task was accomplished, was stored as data to be used later, as a brick, power-up, etc.
Galactic Warfare - Side Scrolling Shooter
Space side scroller made in Unity3D using C#, power-ups, multiple enemy variants, high score leader-board, music and VFX. Vector maths was used for graphics and gameplay, drawing game assets using calculations and checking distance to each entity.
Keep It Up - Endless Runner
Endless Runner in the style of Temple Run, made in Unreal Engine using Blueprints and C++. Obstacles and platforms spawned randomly in sequence and kept within a Dictionary for Memory Usage.
