The game

Bubblift is a puzzle game about ocean contamination and cleanup: clean bubbles rise naturally, polluted ones need help, and the deeper you go the more hostile the water chemistry. Simple mechanic, legible theme, shipped complete in 48 hours.

What I did

In a three-person team, split across design, art and code, I worked on the game architecture, level flows and the core balancing mechanic in the Godot engine. No purchased assets and no template: a full playable game from zero in one weekend, made by three people.

What it proves

I can scope honestly, design a mechanic that carries a message, and ship under time pressure with people I had just met.
