Current projects include a Flappy Bird–style mobile game and a multiplayer Bingo game, with additional concepts planned for development and testing.
The ideal candidate is someone who can work quickly, turn rough concepts and AI-generated assets into polished game visuals, and maintain a consistent visual style across multiple projects.
