About the game

A 2 player co-op puzzle game where the players control cats with opposing magnetic polarities to solve environmental challenges. In active development; preparing for Steam release.

My contributions

  • Developed magnetic attraction and repulsion systems for free, pivoted, and spline-constrained interactions, enabling designers to author multiple magnetic gameplay behaviors.
  • Performed user research playtests incorporating feedback and fixing dozens of bugs to ensure good user experience, project stability and performance.
