‣ Created all sound effects using only my mouth (yes, really!)
‣ Edited and processed SFX to match gameplay timing and style
‣ Integrated all sounds into Unity with proper event triggers
‣ Added the original soundtrack by Yves Jouan and synced it with game pacing
‣ The audio direction adds a huge part of the game’s comedic personality

‣ Co-developed the game concept, core mechanics, and puzzle-platformer identity
‣ Defined the tone, name, gameplay loop, and asset direction for a cohesive experience
‣ Designed the progressive learning curve by introducing mechanics in stages
‣ Balanced accessibility and challenge for new and experienced players
‣ Collaborated closely with a programmer to ensure design decisions aligned with technical feasibility

‣ Designed 5 out of 6 levels, shaping the pacing and difficulty escalation
