My Projects
Projects that I have worked on.
Too Much At Once!
Education Game, Simulation
Too Much At Once! is a game about a kid who has an Inattentive ADHD being tasked to do groceries shopping but there will be a lot of distractions along the way.
End of the Rail
Strategic, Roguelike
End of the Rail is an 8-bit style rail building game where you chart routes to a mysterious portal, then ride along as battles play out automatically, all while micromanaging your train, upgrading your equipment and reconfiguring your loadout to survive as the difficulty ramps up!
Pong
Videogame
The classic two-player table tennis-style game, where each player controls a paddle positioned on opposite sides of the screen. The main goal is to prevent the ball from getting past your paddle while trying to score by sending it past your opponent's.
​​
Bouncy Buddies
Action Platformer
Fast-paced, cartoon-style action platformer where characters bounce, dash, and stomp their way through vibrant levels full of hazards and rewards. Players take control the pixelated buddies, using keyboard controls to jump (W), double jump, move (A/D), stomp (S), and dash (Shift) through retro-themed environments.
​
The objective is simple yet challenging: reach the goal as fast as possible while collecting apples and squashing enemies for maximum points. Each apple adds 10 points, and a perfectly timed stomp on an enemy racks up 20. But watch out—falling into pits or losing all three lives will restart the level!​
Flappy Bird Recreated
Side-scrolling arcade-style game
A remake of the classic 2D game, Flappy Bird with singleplayer and local multiplayer mode where you race/ outlast against each other
Space Stinger
Shoot em up
2D space shooter shoot em up with two modes, Normal Mode, where players progress through structured stages culminating in boss battles, and Endless Mode, which challenges players to survive and score as high as possible. Power-ups such as enhancing firepower, activating energy shields, and enabling rocket strikes boosts the player combat efficiency.
Scoring is based on defeating enemies and collecting power-ups, and the game ends when all five player lives are lost.
Game Jam Participation
Here are some of my submission for the game jams that I had participated.
This is a game made during UOWM x Virtuos Sem Jam 2025, by Team Credit Overdraft.

Submission for Red Game Jam 2025 by Team Flarity.
An infinite platformer that requires the player to jump upwards to beat their previous high score while avoiding hazards.
