The Experience
In a platformer, the jump is the whole game.
Everything else — art, levels, enemies — sits on top of whether the player trusts the jump. Arc, air control and collision have to be consistent enough that a missed jump always feels like the player's fault.
This is a HAPZ original. We own the IP, and the build is live on Google Play — design, code, art pipeline, store submission and updates all in-house.
PROJECT BRIEF
What the project needed, and what we owned.
- The problem
- A HAPZ original: a pixel-art platformer, where the jump has to feel trustworthy before anything else matters.
- HAPZ responsibility
- Everything. HAPZ owns the IP — level design, art integration, controls, progression and release.
- Technical challenges solved
- Jump arc, air control and collision tuned for consistency so a missed jump always reads as the player’s fault; a level pipeline covering ten levels across four biomes; touch controls sized for thumbs.
- Platform & technology
- Unity · Android
- Project status
- Released — live on Google Play
- Verified result
- Published on Google Play and maintained by HAPZ.
WHAT HAPZ DELIVERED
The work we owned on this build.
End-to-end delivery
A HAPZ original taken from concept to Google Play: level design, pixel art integration, controls, progression and release.
Platformer feel
Jump arcs, collision and momentum tuned until movement is predictable — the thing a platformer has to get right before anything else matters.
Level and biome system
Ten levels across distinct biomes, built on a content pipeline that adds a level without engineering work each time.

FROM THE GAME
Screens from the live build.
Production Conversation
What this kind of game asks of a production team.
Biome variety
Distinct visual themes that change how a level reads without changing how it controls.
Touch controls
On-screen controls sized and placed for thumbs, not for a desktop test build.
