Pilot Panic Android Release

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

I’ve been working on a new mobile game, out today on Google Play! The App Store version will follow soon. I had to hit an April deadline or my Google Play account would be closed for inactivity. Maintaining mobile games is… not great.

Pilot Panic is the successor to my earlier mobile game, Pilot Express. I originally built it in Unity, but I’ve been learning Godot over the past few months. Porting an older game felt like a nice learning opportunity, though I ended up rebuilding almost everything. The game is now fully 2D, which in my opinion, looks better than the old low‑poly 3D style.

Hidden Kitty Mobile Game Release

Tue, 18 Jul 2017 00:00:00 +0000

My second mobile game is officially out on iOS, grab it on the App Store!

Hidden Kitty is a cute seek‑and‑find game. Explore the rooms of a cozy house and figure out where the kitty is hiding. Behind a pillow? Inside a cupboard? Tap and slide things around to discover new spots.

There’s lots of objects in the house to interact with.

This summer I wanted to build something smaller (and cuter) than my other projects. Unlike my previous mobile game Pilot Express, which was free‑to‑play, Hidden Kitty is a paid download, something I’ve been wanting to try for a while.

Pilot Express Mobile Game Release

Tue, 28 Jul 2015 00:00:00 +0000

I’ve been working on a little mobile game this summer, which is finally released on both the App Store and Google Play!

Pilot Express lets you fly a small plane up and down, avoiding mines and other obstacles along the way. Collect coins to increase your score and fly through hoops to gain a speed boost. The controls are simple, the challenge comes from reacting quick enough, and deciding when to go for the bonus items versus playing it safe.
