🎮 What I Built
I created Ocean Treasure Hunt, an interactive underwater game Lens for Snapchat where players explore the ocean, collect golden coins, avoid dangerous sharks, and discover hidden sea treasures.
Built entirely using prompt-based iteration in EasyLens, the game includes:
🐠 Animated Sea Life:
A vibrant underwater world filled with colorful fish, coral reefs, bubbles, and smooth swimming animations that bring the ocean to life.
🪙 Coin Collection Gameplay:
Players navigate through the sea to collect floating gold coins while increasing their score and chasing high-score records.
🦈 Dynamic Obstacles:
Hungry sharks and moving sea creatures create exciting challenges that require quick reactions and precise movement.
✨ Visual Effects:
Glowing underwater lighting, animated bubbles, treasure effects, and immersive ocean scenery create a relaxing yet exciting experience.
🎵 Ocean Audio Experience:
Calming underwater music combined with interactive sound effects for collecting coins and avoiding enemies.
💡 Why I Built It
I wanted to create a fun and relaxing underwater adventure that anyone could enjoy in just a few seconds. The goal was to combine beautiful ocean visuals with simple, addictive gameplay that keeps players coming back for higher scores.

🕹️ What I Built
I created Neon Byte Runner, a fast-paced retro arcade game Lens for Snapchat inspired by classic endless dodgers and 80s neon aesthetics. Built entirely using prompt-based iteration in EasyLens, the game includes:
Procedural Pixel-Art Visuals: Glowing neon ships, data bugs, energy bytes, and background scanlines drawn in real time for crisp rendering across all screen sizes.
Drag-and-Dodge Controls: Intuitive mobile steering where players dodge incoming "data bugs" and collect "energy bytes" for score multiplier points.
Dynamic Damage System: A three-life mechanic where taking damage physically breaks off spaceship parts (wings and tail) with visual particle flares.
Magical Heart Repairs: Rare falling heart powerups that grant an extra life and visually repair broken spaceship parts back onto the ship.
Chiptune Audio & Global Leaderboard: Custom-generated arcade music and sound effects paired with an integrated HUD and leaderboard to drive replayability.
💡 Why I Built It
Reimagining Classic Arcade Mechanics for AR:
I wanted to capture the instant-play energy of old-school arcade cabinets and adapt it into a social, mobile-first Snapchat Lens. The goal was to create a game that takes seconds to learn, but offers enough depth and escalating difficulty to keep players saying, "Just one more run."
Visual & Emotional Damage Feedback:
Instead of relying on a standard health bar, I wanted players to feel the stakes. Making the ship parts physically break off and scatter across the screen creates an immediate, dramatic feedback loop when you make a mistake—and grabbing a rare heart to repair your ship feels genuinely rewarding.
Pushing the Boundaries of Prompt-Based Game Design:
As a developer, I wanted to explore how far prompt engineering inside EasyLens could go. I set out to prove that you can build complete, highly polished game systems—including state management, procedural rendering, sound synthesis, and dynamic damage states—purely by guiding AI with precise multi-step prompts.
✨ How EasyLens Made It Possible
Using EasyLens, I didn't need to hop between traditional 3D software, external audio workstations, or manual script compilers. I iterated through targeted prompts to handle:
Generating procedural visual assets on the fly.
Setting up custom arcade music and dynamic sound triggers.
Fine-tuning game controls, collision boxes, and damage states.
EasyLens handled the heavy lifting, allowing me to focus on game feel, pacing, and player experience
