They Are You
They Are You is a puzzle/action game in which you become who you kill. Possessing the enemies and constantly changing their available abilities, the player must carefully plan their fights to survive the dangers of the Tower. With its unique mechanics and challenging puzzles, They Are You won second place in the Bit1 Competition for the Best Student Game of Finland 2022.
During the 4-month university project, I worked as a Game Designer and Level Designer. My main responsibilities included designing the abilities of the 5 character types and over half of the levels.

Split
In a 4-day game jam themed "The Twist", the participants were encouraged to take inspiration from an existing game but add a twist. Our team decided not only to make a twist to a single game but a twist to a whole genre of games In this split-screen co-op puzzle platformer, two players solve puzzles utilizing the game's unique mechanic that allows the characters to between the screens.
In this project, I worked as a Game Designer and Puzzle Designer. After creating the original concept for the main mechanic of the game, I spent most of the time, designing all 5 puzzle levels to take advantage of the screen-switching mechanic in different ways.​

Split continues to be played by ~50 players per week, totaling 4000+ plays since it was published in Autumn 2023.

Extinguished
Extinguished, a puzzle platformer in darkness was a concept I created and co-pitched during a university game course. During a five-week-long project, I lead a team of six to fulfill the vision for the game. My other responsibilities included level and puzzle design, with additional programming work alongside the full-time programmer of the team.
