Puff

Sidescrolling physics game

Wield the power of the wind

Puff is a casual side-scrolling game that focuses on efficient navigation, rather than dexterity. By harnessing the power of wind in your mouse cursor, guide a dandelion seed (“Puff”) past obstacles so it can land safely and bloom into a dandelion.

I created this game in a two person team alongside Andrew Paolini for the CMPS 80K Foundations of Game Design course at University of California, Santa Cruz. In addition to programming, I composed all of the music for Puff, and it was an Audio Award finalist and a Foundation Award finalist at the 2012 UCSC Sammy Awards for game design.

Tech Stack
