Plunger Lunger
Fun. Hilarious. Intense. Plunger Lunger is a game for all ages packed with excitement.
My Role: I was the Level designer in a five-person team for a project named ‘Plunger Lunger’. (Watch trailer above)
Overview: A retro-style 2D grapple-hook game where the player traverses through levels as a boy-genius at high speeds by swinging around with a plunger gun. With an endearing 16-bit art style, Plunger Lunger provides plenty of laughs and excitement with crazy death animations, intense swinging sequences while avoiding death, and an addictive level of difficulty that will keep you wanting more.
What I did:
• Created over 50 levels with paper layouts. Selected the best sequences and condensed them into 15 levels with strong flow and pacing that all followed one of three level design themes.
• Analyzed feedback from group focus testing and made improvements to pacing, obstacles and ease of play based on the feedback received.
• Actively contributed creative ideas at design meetings that ultimately shaped the look and feel of the final product.
• Wrote in-depth documentation for the level design sections of the Game Design Document ie. beat charts, level descriptions, level diagrams, and level design philosophies.
Profiling by AntVenom: A popular YouTube gaming channel profiled Plunger Lunger as their first game in a new series named 'Greenlight This.' Plunger Lunger is the subject of an 18 minute video where Antvenom plays the game and says that Plunger Lunger "is just awesome...I applaud the creators for making something that feels truly unique." Watch AntVenom have a blast playing our game on the video to the right.
