Design
​
Kitty Rush was my first assignment during the second year of university.
I began designing the game for mobile platforms aiming at a youthful audience. The game was created so that users could play it on the move whenever they were bored or took a break at work; something simple yet fun and progressive with the possibility of future updates. Player could choose their preffered cat at the begining of the game where each cat has a personality and its own unique ability.
​
Throughout develpoment the project had to be migrated to computer and as a consequence some mechanics and UI components were adapted.
​
The game loop consists of running, avoiding obstacles, collecting coins, and spending money in the shop on upgrades and cosmetics.

Description
Feline Frenzy born as a result of a second iteration and prototype develpment during a different group project. A 2D platformer developed to provide a unique experience that would put the user in a state of flow similar to Sonic the Hedgehog's famous platformer. Instead of having one endless runner, we designed multiple levels where each stage had a different theme. Powerups were incorporated as core mechanics and additionally, other new mechanics were added. Based on the same design document as Kitty Rush, Feline Frenzy follows a similar loop in which players must collect coins and complete the level before the timer runs out in order to continue to the next level. This was a project where I experimented with UI and UX design, sound design, and animations.
Design

Because the target platform was Android, the design was created for mobile but was also implemented on a computer. The main menu is simple yet suggestive, dynamic and interactive. The position of the buttons formed a mark throughout the game, helping players in navigating and learning the menus more quickly; it also resembled a paw, which is really adorable and adds to the game's theme: cats!

Kitty Rush was a project that started from a Design Document. Later, modified into Feline Frenzy, I had to adapt the documentation for it to be easy to follow by my team throughout development. The design documents can be found here for both games.
