Block Puzzle (Mobile Game Development)

A Match-3 block puzzle game where users have to strategically place tiles onto a board to clear rows and columns while trying not to run out of possible moves.

Client / Project

A mobile game studio approached me to build a complete Block Puzzle game using the visual assets and basic sound effects they provided. They had a clear concept and game design outline, but needed a Unity developer to implement all core systems, gameplay logic, UX flow, monetization, and overall production polish.

Problem

The client had visuals, a concept, and a target style, but no working prototype or gameplay systems.

They needed:

• A fully functional Block Puzzle game

• Clean, responsive drag-and-drop block placement

• A scoring system, combos, grid logic, and game-over conditions

• UI flow, effects, feedback, and animations

• Smooth performance on mobile devices

• Integrated ads and monetization

• Music, SFX tuning, and polishing touches

• Development guidance on a few features and UX decisions

They required someone who could take these assets and transform them into a complete, stable, polished mobile game ready for release.

My Role

Unity Developer - responsible for all scripting, gameplay systems, UI/UX, game flow, audio, and monetization.
The client provided just the 2D art and some sound effects; everything else was implemented by me.

What I Delivered

Core Gameplay Systems

• Complete Block Puzzle grid logic

• Block spawning, randomization rules, and placement validation

• Line-clearing logic with scoring and combo bonuses

• Smooth drag-and-drop input with snap-to-grid behavior

Game Flow & UX

• Main menu, settings, pause, and restart flow

• Game over logic and replay loop

• Score counters, animations, and feedback effects

• Daily play feel with satisfying pacing and touch response

Visual & Audio Experience

• Integrated the provided art assets into a clean, polished UI

• Added custom music and tuned all audio feedback

• Added subtle VFX, transitions, and micro-interactions for polish

Monetization

• Implemented mobile ad integration (rewarded, banner & interstitial ads)

• Added optional reward flow tied into gameplay

• Ensured monetization did not disrupt game pacing or UX

Production Improvements

• Advised the client on UX tweaks, timing, and readability

• Proposed several quality-of-life features that were integrated into the final build

• Ensured clean code structure so the game is easy to update and maintain

Results

• The client received a fully functional, polished Block Puzzle game built from their design and visual assets

• The game was optimized for mobile, with responsive UI and satisfying gameplay feel

• Monetization and game flow were integrated seamlessly

• The client was able to move immediately into testing and release preparation

This project demonstrates my ability to take a client’s idea and assets and deliver a complete, well-polished mobile game end-to-end.
