Putty Pals is a co-operative puzzle platformer where you and a friend bounce, squish, swing and slingshot your way through dangerous worlds. The Putties were blown far away and must team up to travel across hazardous lands and collect Putty Seeds to get back home. Solve colour-based puzzles to progress and merge together to perform exhilarating techniques! 

​

Putty Pals started as a final year university project that was made in Unity. After positive reception at PAX Australia 2015 my team formed Harmonious Games, successfully earning Film Victoria funding and releasing the game on Steam and later the Switch.

Responsibilities

​

Level Design - I greyboxed and iterated on the game's various levels and puzzles within Unity, with an emphasis on using the game's co-operative mechanics to their full effect. Knowing when to separate and reunite the Putties was key to developing interesting puzzles that utilised the mechanics in engaging ways.

​

Concept and Environment Art - I conceptualised the designs of the various characters and locations in the game, taking extra care to ensure the game remained accessible to players with colour vision deficiency like myself. 

​

Promoting and Exhibiting the Game - I developed various pieces of promotional media, including key art and trailers, to promote the game on social media. I also exhibited the game at many events including PAX Australia and at ACMI.
