'Don't Die' is a 2D platformer I developed and published for Android, Windows, WebGL, and Google Play. It offers two infinite runner levels and a 2D adventure-style story mode. Players must navigate through challenges and obstacles to progress through the game.

I developed a game that uses face tracking to determine head and blink movements. The objective is to see how long you can last without blinking. I created features using C#, Unity, Python, and MediaPipe. Used Firebase to implement a high score system.

Created a 3D maze game. As a rabbit, users have to find all of the carrots to complete the level. Levels are randomly generated from a 2D array stored in a Firebase database. Created 25 different levels. Using addressable assets are loaded from content buckets.

"Don't Take The Last Bus" is a VR game I developed, where the player is on a haunted bus with passengers and must use their skills to escape. Interactions with the passengers include playing games like tic-tac-toe, rock-paper-scissors, and blackjack.

I developed a VR application for Meta Quest. Players battle through three levels filled with targets, zombies, and monsters. Players can choose to throw food and explosives or shoot their way through the challenges. Includes underwater creatures and a radio.
