Game Designer
Design Process
We approached this as a 3-month game jam, designing a game based on the theme "Thread the Needle." During the process, we iterated on various ideas, concepts, and genres, taking inspiration from games like Superflight and others.
- Our goal was to create an experience focused on passing through small spaces at high speed, emphasizing constant movement and precise grappling.
- This led to the core mechanics of swinging, complemented by parkour-inspired precise platforming.
- We developed a polished sandbox level featuring parkour and swinging mechanics that require precision platforming and quick decision-making.
