Cheese Wheels

One day — out of the blue — my 11yo challenged me to make a game with:

4 cards
pawns
cubes
dice

After proclaiming this, he added as a joking afterthought, “And… it has to be about cheese.”

So I made Cheese Wheels — a 4-card pickup & deliver game for two players. You can download the game here.

Red Laser Blue Laser

A game made in two days for PegJam 2019.

Download it here.

Every time you fire, your laser flip-flops between red and blue. You must hit the red enemies with red lasers and the blue enemies with blue lasers. If you hit an enemy with the wrong colour, it gets bigger and needs to be hit twice.

Game design and “enemy” artwork: Mike Berg
SFX: Nathanael Wsiaki. Nat did awesome work converting my weird mouth noises and descriptions of sound into sfx that were even better than I imagined. Check him out.
VFX: FX Variety Pack by Kakky
Background art: Scifi Kitbash Level Builder by Denys Rutkovskyi
Music: Action Game Loops Pack by MuzStation Game Music

I made a prototype of this game in 2015 that you can try here. I wanted to try my hand at rebuilding it in Unreal. The goal was to make it more mobile-friendly by using a differing shooting mechanic that wouldn’t require a virtual d-pad that was used to move your “ship”.

This led to three large buttons at the bottom of the screen that you tap to fire. This way the game could be played with one hand.

Every year, New Media Manitoba commissions a different artist to create a poster for Peg Jam, Winnipeg’s annual Game Jam. Each poster features characters and artwork from games made in previous jams.

Some stickers based off the design of the poster:

LEGO Tower

It was my great pleasure to work with Nimblebit on LEGO Tower. I designed and rendered the art pieces below for use in the game. The tattoo parlour and soda brewery didn’t make it into the game, per LEGO’s request.
