Core Gameplay

Dodge, collect, survive

  • Player controls a kiwi bird dodging enemy cats and collecting items through escalating challenges
  • Tight, reactive mechanics with minimal UI, built for short mobile sessions
  • Shipped with 3 visual themes (Christmas, Halloween, Normal); a Japanese theme is in progress

Full solo pipeline
Design → Code → Art → Audio → Ship

One-Person Team

Owned every part of production

  • Design: every mechanic, ability, level pace, and reward structure
  • Programming: full codebase, input, physics, state logic, UI flow, audio
  • Art & Animation: characters, environments, frame-by-frame sprite work
  • Sound: original music and SFX for every interaction
  • Polish: screen shake, jump feedback, and timing tuned for touchscreens
  • Publishing: resolution scaling and platform-check readiness

Monetization Philosophy

Ads that respect the player

Game first. Profit second.

  • No banner or forced interstitial ads
  • Losing to a cat doesn't save your score, unless you'd opened your parachute
  • Players can optionally continue from their score by watching an ad, rewarding engagement without punishing those who skip it
