Tile’s Waltz is a game I started developing alone during quarantine for the COVID-19 crisis. It’s a match-3 puzzle game with focus on memorization, you remove pieces from the level, when that piece is removed other pieces move to take their place, you need to combine pieces of the same color to get combos or power ups.

Banana Kong is another game developed by Gamaga, with more than 100M+ of installs, the game is published by FDG Entertainment. Banana Kong is an endless runner platform game, you play as Kong you have to jump, avoid and smash different obstacles in the environment, there are many mechanics that change the way the character moves, it’s a really fun game to play.

I moved to Chile to work with Gamaga, I started with Operate Now: Hospital, a game published by Spil Games with more than 45M+ of installs. Operate Now is a hospital simulator, in the game you perform really realistic surgeries and follow a compelling storyline, while you also are in charge of running multiple hospitals, upgrading their departments, hiring and managing their staff and many other interesting mechanics.

For this instance I was asked to create a game, alone, in a single week as part of a test. I ended up making an isometric platform game, you have to complete levels and collect coins along the way.

While I was still in college this was my first working experience as a game developer. Living in Caracas at the time I got contacted by LearnSafari, thanks game jams! Spanish Safari is a game or a tool for parents, with the purpose of teaching Spanish to kids in an interactive adventure game.

This was my first Global Game Jam, though I had been to game jams before in college. This was a really great experience that ended up with me going for four years consecutively. The idea of making a complete game in just 48 hours was first daunting, but later awesome and completely achievable with good team work and focus.
