Project Type

2D endless runner built during a hackathon and released in the official Viking: War of Clans community

Creative Context

This is a mini-game created for the anniversary of Vikings: War of Clans. The player controls a small Viking running through a changing sequence of environments inspired by the game's regions: Midgard, Jotunheim, Helheim, and Alfheim. The regions appear in the same order as they were introduced in the game, while milestone moments mark different years of the project's development and the release of new features.

The goal was to create a simple and accessible mini-game that would remind players how Vikings: War of Clans evolved over time, while also giving them a score-based challenge to replay and compete with.

My Contribution

Handled the full Unity side of the project: gameplay systems, scene setup, UI integration, and build preparation for WebGL.
Built the core runner systems from scratch including player controller, jump mechanics, obstacle spawning, scoring, game-over flow, and restart states.
Worked on responsive UI, input handling, WebGL compatibility.
Added audio feedback throughout the project, including player actions, game over, and score milestones.
Worked under a 48-hour hackathon deadline, prioritizing core gameplay features and making quick implementation decisions to keep the build playable.
Collaborated in a team of five, helping solve design and technical problems quickly as new gameplay, UI, and asset integration issues appeared.
Balanced speed and stability during development by focusing on a clear playable loop, fast iteration, and practical solutions instead of overengineering.
