One of the projects I worked on to put my skills as a Game Designer and QA Tester to the test. It was a very long and difficult journey, because I was studying while also working on the project.
With deadlines every two weeks, managing the entire game and level design was a huge challenge, but the result turned out well considering I was still a student.
