A modern hyper-casual iOS puzzle game where players slide blocks through a crowded board, clear paths, unlock doors, and solve progressively harder layouts with polished dark-theme feedback.
Turned a familiar sliding-block mechanic into a premium-feeling mobile puzzle experience with dynamic board visuals, satisfying micro-interactions, and a cleaner technical fingerprint for iOS review.
2026 - In Review
Lead Developer
Personal Project
Runtime-generated block visuals through BlockPieceView and TileGridGenerator instead of relying on static sprites for every shape
Case study overview
Built grid-based block sliding for rectangles and complex L-shaped pieces, with constrained drag movement, invalid-move feedback, locked doors, and exit-path solving.
Reworked the full visual identity into a dark premium style with procedural block highlights, shadows, extrusions, refreshed assets, updated fonts, and new audio treatment.
Integrated rewarded AdMob hammer power-ups, remove-ads IAP, restore-purchase behavior, and a delayed ATT gate that waits for the app to become fully active on iOS.
Responsibilities
Core block movement, board interaction, level flow, obstacle clearing, locked doors, and power-up behavior
Procedural block rendering for rectangles and L-blocks, including highlights, shadows, extrusions, and clean board cell presentation
iOS monetization and privacy flow, including AdMob rewarded videos, remove-ads IAP, restore purchases, and ATT timing
Technical work
Runtime-generated block visuals through BlockPieceView and TileGridGenerator instead of relying on static sprites for every shape
Custom hue-preserving shiny UI shader that keeps vibrant block colors from washing out during highlight sweeps
App Store review-focused visual and asset overhaul that separated the game from earlier UI architecture while preserving reliable shared systems
Challenges
Differentiating the product's UI hierarchy, asset profile, and feel enough for App Store review while keeping the project stable
Rendering complex block shapes without bounding-box artifacts, broken shadows, or incorrect extrusion edges
Balancing rewarded power-ups, remove-ads purchases, privacy prompts, and puzzle flow without making the game feel noisy
