The Pleat is a web-first puzzle game built around a simple folding mechanic. Players fold a shape step by step to reach the target while aiming to complete each level using the optimal number of moves.
I designed and developed the product end to end, including the core game mechanics, level generation, responsive interface, player progression, three-star scoring system, streaks, achievements, leaderboards, analytics, authentication, and deployment. The game currently features 500 progressively challenging levels and is designed to expand from the web to mobile.

I managed to port the game to Unity and spent most of the time adjusting the lighting and the atmosphere so the game has a good contrast and depth.
The earlier versions looked flat and boring so I changed the art style from grimey rust to dark neon blue again - similar to the threejs prototype.
I also added the option to play the game with twin joysticks instead of an auto shooter. It's more of a challenge.
The UI is still terrible. I had Codex assemple all the ui into prefabs yesterday so I can adjust it myself as I'm not particularly good at Unity and can't edit UI through code yet.
Switching to twin joysticks over auto shoot is the right call for that arena layout, gives players a reason to actually aim. Honest touch admitting the UI still needs work, most devs would just not mention it.
Light or dark? I shipped Golf Travel Passport with both, which one would you keep open on the first tee?

White for me. It feels cleaner and easier to scan.
The game I built yesterday is fun, but I want to port it to an app at some point and I also want to make it prettier, so I started working on porting my Bolt Pit game from Threejs to Unity.
Also, based on a few gamer coworkers' suggestions I'm also switching the gameplay from arena level progression to a more rogue-like game.
Somehow along the way the art style changed from neon to dirty rust and I'm not a fan, so I'm changing the art style back.
I'm using the Top Down Engine to do a lot of the heavy lifting of the gameplay and speed up production.
One of the best designs I’ve seen today. Really solid work 👏 Porting Threejs mechanics over to Unity gives game development workflows so much flexibility.
