OVERVIEW
Goal
The first professional project. I was hired as a junior game designer and mainly worked on gaining experience in as many areas of game development as I could.
Description
The game aims to combine stories of Lord Krishna from Indian Mythology with a Match 2 gameplay.
​
The game was to follow international standards of Match 2 games with interesting and new levels and familiar game mechanics. Every few levels the player would be introduced to a new obstacle or a story element along with iconic mythological characters. It was mainly aimed at women and children and could be used as a cultural tool to educate young children about our rich mythology.
