This project focused on the process of creating a captivating mobile game from the ground up. Emphasis was placed on incorporating storytelling techniques, empathy, and game design principles to create a final product that was engaging, memorable, and fun! I created a game called "UP!" The premise is to guide a floating balloon through the sky and, eventually, outer space as high as possible by tilting the device to avoid obstacles. My game is suitable for ages 6 and up, and I wanted it to have a crafty and child-like aesthetic, which was cemented with a paper-cutout design style and bright colors.
