Squared Up! is my self-initiated game project. It is a rapid arcade-style music-based game, where the player survives and dodges obstacles that appear to the beat.
I conceptualized this fusion between the dodge-em-up style and structured grid-based map, creating a unique experience for players. As the lead developer, I worked on all the coding and level design for each track. Currently, my game demo has 2 different tracks from various artists. These tracks are about 2 minutes in length, each with 3 separate difficulties. I have also collaborated with an artist who has helped design visual assets i.e. game backgrounds for menu & songs and UI.
I have also been given the opportunity to showcase this project at SGGA Industry Day 2025 @ Singapore Comic Con 2025. The event has allowed me to publicly test my game and receive feedback from the public and professionals in the game design industry. The event has also allowed me to make connections with other local indie developers and studios and learn more about the local game development scene overall.
