Made almost entirely with C++ Unreal Engine Classes

As the developer of The Monster, a 2D Metroidvania game developed using C# in Unity; I have learned the importance of balancing gameplay mechanics and level design to create an engaging and challenging experience. The game follows a ninja on a quest to defeat a legendary monster that was sealed away by the best ninja of the past, who died in the process. The player must learn new fighting skills throughout the game and explore a magical cave to become the best ninja and defeat the monster. The game emphasizes the importance of skill development and strategic thinking in overcoming challenges while incorporating exploration and puzzle-solving elements to keep players engaged.

Jason Wants To Play

Jason Wants to Play is a submission for the Friday 13th Game Jam, which only lasted 24 hours. It was my first game jam and a challenging experience developed on Unity2D using C#, where I learned to work on a really tight deadline. The game is about how Jason became the famous serial killer we all know. The game is a 2D top-down game following Jason’s journey from being a normal person to a serial killer. The game has a dark and eerie atmosphere that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The game is challenging and requires strategic thinking to overcome obstacles and enemies.

Forgotten Roots is a 2D platformer game that transports the player to the ancient world of the pre-Hispanic era. The player takes on the role of a protector of his metaphoric roots, tasked with avoiding obstacles and traps within a pyramid. The game is developed by the team “Flaming Papayas” and combines action, adventure, and platforming elements to create an exciting and challenging experience for players.

As the player navigates through the levels of the pyramid, they must use their quick reflexes and problem-solving skills to overcome obstacles and defeat enemies. The player must also collect power-ups and other items to help them progress through the levels and reach their ultimate goal of protecting their roots. The game’s 2D graphics and smooth animations bring the pre-Hispanic world to life and immerse the player in the ancient setting.

A team of 5 people developed Forgotten Roots – 2 artists and three programmers – in Unity in one week for the Global Game Jam 2023 with the theme «ROOTS.» The game landed a third place on the global game jam 2023.
