Spunk and Moxie - This was my first commercial release. It is a deceptively casual looking hardcore platformer with intuitive one-touch controls. The game is easy to pick up but hard to master. It features 30 levels across 3 themes, 7 challenges per stage, online leader boards, downloadable ghosts, unlockable content, and more.

We developed this game on mobile and it is currently available on both iOS and Android devices. I created the concept, design, prototype, placeholder art, level design, and directed the game, which was programmed by Carter Randolph and features art by Dan Fessler.

Players gave the game an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars on both iTunes and the Android store:

Parody game concept: The Legend of Zelga - In this game the princess is never rescued and plots her own escape, ultimately rescuing the hero that was originally sent to save her.

The Indie Game Legend - This project was developed with Game Maker in the span of about 4 months and released in March of 2011. I created it as both an homage to one of my favorite NES games, The Guardian Legend, and a parody of various indie game developers from the TIGSource community. Music by Stevie Hryciw and manual art by Dan Fessler.

Sword of Legends - This was a collaboration with a friend who was programming this game in Game Maker. We worked on it off and on from 2006 through 2009 and eventually dropped the project. I did the pixel art, animations, game design, level layout, story, and characters. My friend did the programming of the game and our other friend did the music.

MADHOUSE - A project of mine that I worked on from 2004 through 2007 in Game Maker, MADHOUSE is a top-down shooter with a comic-horror theme. The game was originally conceived as a 2-player versus deathmatch, but a single-player feature was added.

Note: The video quality for this trailer is terrible so I will update it eventually.
