Overview

A competitive action puzzler for 1-4 players. The Swapettes — a cast of magical-girl characters — duel in match-3 board battles, each with unique block sets, music, and special abilities earned through chained matches. Story Mode, VS Mode (up to 4 players or CPUs), Classic Mode, Endless Mode, and Puzzle Mode round out a deep single-and-multiplayer package. Shipped to closed early-access testers on Steam under 3D Generation, with cross-platform builds for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Role

Lead Visionary + Lead Dev — drove the original concept, designed the core systems (match-3 board + chain-triggered specials + character roster), and owned the Unity build through the closed early-access milestone. The project has continued development under 3D Generation since I left.

Highlights

  • Original game vision — character cast, mode variety, and the match-3 + specials feel.
  • 1-4 player local PvP with full controller support; built for split-screen and Remote Play Together.
  • Cross-platform Unity build targeting Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single codebase.
  • Per-character block sets, music, and ability rosters — designed for replay variety.
