Bounce your way past spikes, portals, and moving obstacles. One wrong angle and it's game over. Think fast, deflect smart,
escape!
Precision-based obstacle games like this live or die on input latency, so I'm guessing most of the tuning time went into the deflect angle physics rather than the level design itself. Firebase for level unlocks and progress tracking across the different worlds makes sense here too.
Ha, good read! The deflect physics did eat most of the tuning time. And yep, Firebase handles the unlocks/progress tracking. Thanks for checking it out!

🎓 GROWTH TIP 07/30: DON’T JUST REWARD ACTIONS. MAKE PROGRESS TOO VALUABLE TO ABANDON.
Most learning apps treat gamification as a reward layer.
Complete a lesson → get XP.
Come back tomorrow → extend a streak.
Hit a milestone → unlock a badge.
Useful mechanics. But none of them creates retention on its own.
The stronger growth loop starts when every action makes the user feel like they’ve built something worth coming back to.
In this EdTech concept, a completed lesson doesn’t disappear.
It becomes part of a visible history.
History builds a streak.
The streak moves toward a milestone.
The milestone creates a reward.
And the next locked achievement creates anticipation.
Action → accumulation → anticipation → return.
That’s the difference between adding gamification and designing a progression system.
The goal isn’t to make learning feel like a game.
It’s to make accumulated progress feel valuable enough that leaving means walking away from something the user has already invested in.
The better question isn’t:
“How do we reward this action?”
It’s:
“How does this action increase the value of coming back?”
🔥 Streaks make consistency visible.
🏆 Milestones turn repetition into progress.
⭐ XP gives every session continuity.
🔒 Locked achievements give progress somewhere to go next.
One reward can create a moment.A connected progression system creates a reason to return.

Fried Fish – HTML5 Game Prototype
Built a custom HTML5 fishing game prototype for a client, developing the underwater environment, loading experience, UI, visual elements, and interactive gameplay presentation. The project focused on creating a polished, playable browser-based prototype that could later be expanded into a full game.
Shipping a playable prototype instead of a deck changes the review entirely - the client stops critiquing screens and starts reacting to how it feels to play, which is a lot harder to argue with. Was the loading experience in scope from the start, or did that become its own piece of work once you saw people sitting through it?
