Circuit Breaker

I created this game alongside my teammate Veronika Kozlova in under 48 hours for the 2024 BFX Game Jam, the theme of which was "Connections."In this game, you control two nodes that share an electrical current between each other, which you have to use to destroy the oncoming enemies. You can play this game with one or two people.You can play the game here.

Bucket Knight

Bucket Knight is a game I have created, using a custom C++ Game Engine, for my Computer Science A-Level.The goal of the game is to complete as many levels as possible before dying. To do this, you are given a random weapon at the start of each level which you must use to defeat the goblins, wizards, and furballs.You can play the game here.
Role: Solo Dev

Gobblers

"Gobblers!" is my first-ever game I created, with the Godot Engine, and the first-ever game I submitted for a Game Jam.It is a bog-basic clicker game where your objective is to eat more food than your rival. There are a few difficulties to choose from, and harder difficulties increase your rival's cps and the duration of the game.You can play the game here.

Greenpower Car

The car was created during my time at Marling School Sixth Form.I was in charge of creating the chair the driver would sit in (which ended up pretty comfy) and an Arduino screen for the dashboard that could display relevant details for the driver, such as speed and engine temperature.Despite never reaching the race track, due to a lack of funding, it was a fun project to work on with the team.
