Space Cat 9 is a roguelike platformer I helped develop using Unity and C#, featuring highly mobile platforming, intense boss battles, and a unique 9-lives system which hit a milestone where we confidently released a polished beta build on Itch.io.
I initially joined the project on a short-term contract, but my dedication to its development and passion for gameplay engineering made it impossible to step away before achieving its full potential.
Leveraging skills in systems design, core mechanics programming, and iterative problem-solving, I collaborated closely with the team to refine gameplay systems and ensure smooth player interaction.
After a brief pause in development, we resumed work, focusing on optimizing performance, balancing mechanics, and enhancing player experience. Through extensive iteration, debugging, and feature implementation, we reached a milestone where we confidently released a polished beta build to the public.
