Core Game Design & Systems
Rethinking Classic Loops: Re-imagined the original Lemmings mechanic into a modern singleplayer incremental management game, shifting the focus from simple unit guidance to a rewarding automation positive feedback loop.
Singleplayer Economy: Built and balanced a closed single-currency economy, making sure resource scaling, purchases, and upgrades feel fair and satisfying throughout the run.
Automation Progression: Designed progression loops that smoothly take the player from hands-on micro-management to macro-level automation with worker bots.
UX, Feedback & Iterative Design
Listening to Playtest Feedback: Learned to spot player friction and fix it with active mechanics—like adding a wind-push system when playtesters felt helpless about not being able to move autonomous bots directly.
Improving Controls: Enhanced the general game feel by replacing clunky click selection with quick 1, 2, 3 keybindings, making unit management much smoother.
Skill Tree Design: Built and balanced a deep skill tree from scratch, learning how to present complex progression paths clearly without cluttering the screen.
Clear UI & Feedback: Focused heavily on clean UI layout and instant feedback so players always know where their resources are going and what to unlock next.
