    Maelstrom Mechas

    Turn-based combat and strategy game. I wrote in the chiptune/16-bit per client’s request to create an atmosphere that balanced strategy and fighting at the same time.

    Castle 51

    2D Bullet Hell game in which the main character, a knight, must find a key to the exit while dodging attacks from wizard. My role was to create an adrenaline-pumping 8-bit/16-bit/chiptune OST to complement the game’s intense atmosphere.

    Wild Search

    A submission for Global Game Jam’s Next Great IP Jam. Puzzle game whose main character is a possum attempting to rescue her children that were blown away by a strong storm.

    Orcs vs. The Machine

    Tower-defense game in which you fight off hordes of orcs. I created a heavy metal OST inspired by Warhammer 40K: Shootas, Blood n Teef (Dan Ven Heerden).
