  • Oct 2017 - Apr 2018

  In-Motion is a simple physics-based puzzle game developed for Android devices in UE4, the goal of the game is to navigate the ball across the level by moving the environment and using physics to guide the ball. The game is self-published and available for download on the Google Play Store. I am proud of myself for creating a foundation in the blueprint of the game in UE4 which allows me to integrate numerous levels as fast as I can design them, speeding up development time and release… In-Motion is a simple physics-based puzzle game developed for Android devices in UE4, the goal of the game is to navigate the ball across the level by moving the environment and using physics to guide the ball.
