hi

An exploration - puzzle game where the player explores a colorful world in two perspectives with two separate control-styles.
Get the full picture of Outer Town's quirky cast and strange mysteries in a top-down adventure style and a side-scrolling platformer.

Only for GameBoy Color.

Delta-3, status report!
What do you see?! Any survivors?!"

Make your way home on the worst day ever. Good luck!

With your new Wall-Runner Hyper Boots, delve into this bizarrely treacherous alien planet to find the cure to a newly raging virus, a native plant.

"For as long as I remember,
I’ve loved turning the world into a playground and making stories out of it.
Now, I make games that capture that same spark; creating worlds that invite curiosity as well as bring story and gameplay together, making players not only feel like it's real, but feel like they're a part of it as well."

GAMES

This game was a collaborative effort with my now-friend, Hua, where we both tried figuring out a fun gameplay mechanic and then a setting to make this feel special.
While Hua got the cool graphics and movement code, I was in charge of level design and refining the narrative elements.
This was a lot of fun to make.

This was one of my earlier forays into 2D on Unity. I am quite proud with how the simple style came out and still holds up, not only with the art style but with the gameplay too, despite the bugs.
But hey, I can just say "it adds to the charm".

An atmospheric walking-simulator where the player assumes control of a recon robot exploring a crash-site that once was a city.
Will Delta-3 be able to find anything remaining amongst the wreckage?

Play With Perspective.
