Game Design and Strategic Mechanics

Developed a puzzle-like survival game in Unity using C#. Players must guide penguins to safety by selecting safe ice blocks, with each move carrying critical consequences. Implemented interactive mechanics, visual feedback, and ice pathing logic. Collaborated with a UI designer to ensure clarity in player interaction and game flow.
