What I worked on

Leading the ascent.

During this project, I took a leadership role in the team, coordinating the development process. I took on developing the levels, its enemies, and the boss fights. Lastly, I created some 2D assets and animations, as well as the game's UI and menus.

I also enjoyed creating the story and designing the game's 2D assets, including the characters, enemies, and environments.
