OVERVIEW
Qtie Slap is a casual mobile game where the simple and classic touch screen gestures become lethal martial arts.
The goal is to defend yourself from the incoming animals by identifying their particular resistances, being from armor or natural elements, and then combo-ing them as fast and precise as possible,
Fast paced and super ironic, Qtie Slaps aims to be a very funny and juicy short experience.
An older project made with Playmaker instead of Visual Scripting. This time around I focused myself on the combo system from a Design perspective and on the animations of the player and animals on the Technical side

IN-DEPTH
Solo Project
An academic project that asked us to make a simple yet engaging casual game, focusing and Game Feel and Juicyness.
I came up with a mobile game where simple gestures can turn into powerful martial arts and that can be chained together to give a strong feeling of power and satisfaction: a flow of identifying the enemy weakness and executing the correct move.
As always, I took this as yet another chance to try something else, both in terms of design and technical capabilities, specifically i dedicated quite some time and effort to the combo system and then to implement it by also researching stuff about animation.
Due to the time constraint the game ended up being very satisfying but lacking in a proper wave design to help the player perform more interesting combos, only having implemented a random generation with an increasing spawn rate and speed over time
