Project overview
2D Pixel Game is a browser-based WebGL arcade experience built in Unity 2D, featuring three mechanically distinct levels that mix guided progression, free-roam exploration, and competitive score-based gameplay.
The project was delivered end-to-end, including gameplay architecture, backend integration, leaderboard systems, cloud validation logic, fraud detection, and live telemetry tracking using PlayFab.
Gameplay Videos
Level 1 - Guided Spline Progression
Precision movement, obstacle avoidance, and score-building on a curated path.
Level 2 - Free-Roam Water Mechanics
Four-direction movement and spatial navigation in a freer challenge space.
Level 3 - Dash and Challenge Scaling
Higher-intensity play with denser hazards and advanced control demands.
