Halfbrick+ ecosystem
Halfbrick+ Cards Collection
PROJECT SUMMARY
A cards collection system for the Halfbrick+ ecosystem, accessible from the Halfbrick+ main app and integrated in new games like Jetpack Joyride Racing.
The objective of this system was to introduce a way to enhance the Halfbrick+ experience for the audience. Given that cards like Pokemon TCG are gaining a lot of popularity, Halfbrick decided to introduce their own set of virtual cards for people to collect. In this case, people are be able to exchange cards for in-game items.
My contributions in this project were:
-
Created and polished the cards collection animation when opening a new card pack.
-
Integrated the mechanics to inspect and admire the cards with their VFX.
-
Developed most of the card inspection screen UI following Halfbrick+ standards.
Date: June, 2025 - November, 2025.
Halfbrick+ game
Jetpack Joyride Racing
PROJECT SUMMARY
A 3D real-time multiplayer racing game made for iOS and Android by Halfbrick.
The objective of the game is to race bots and real people in a 6-person race through several tracks while mastering each curve to boost as much as possible.
I was a key contributor in this high-visibility mobile title, serving as a main programmer in a cross-functional 18-person team (4 programmers, 10 artists, 3 audio engineers, and 3 managers).
I started in a small team by modernizing a legacy C++ codebase from Mortar (Aero Racer / Rocket Racing) into Unity. Then, we used Photon Fusion 2 to implement real-time multiplayer networking while using a scalable Finite State Machine architecture to ensure seamless game flow.
My contributions to this project were:
-
Gameplay & Systems: Designed two of the four launch tracks (not the props, only the track), built garage customization mechanics (UI & VFX), integrated race replay/recording features, improved game feel and core mechanics, VFX, and tutorialization.
-
Platform & Social Integration: Embedded the proprietary Halfbrick+ friends system, enabling real-time private matchmaking, challenges, and friend management.
-
UI/UX & Engine Pipeline: Programmed core GUIs, spearheaded bug fixing and QA across builds, and collaborated directly with the art team to integrate assets seamlessly from concept to runtime.
Date: January, 2024 - November, 2025.

3D Endless Runner Prototype
Jetpack Joyride Themed
PROJECT SUMMARY
A 3D unreleased endless runner prototype made for iOS and Android by Halfbrick.
This game was originally being developed as the prototype below this one (Fruitar Hero). The objective of this game was to keep running (or flying) through several environments in order to beat levels that became harder and harder each time. Since this had a Jetpack Joyride theme, the player was able to interact with obstacles and characters from the original game.
In the end this prototype was archived due to the company's shift of objectives where most of the games were becoming ad-free to introduce a subscription model later.
My contributions to this project were:
-
Went through several iterations of prototyping to improve the game feel, the player's POV and the Click-Through Rate (CTR) for the game ads.
-
Worked with artists to connect the game mechanics with the environment and avoid issues with performance on mobile.
-
Worked in game mechanics, debug menu, UI, SFX, VFX and animations.

On the other hand, this new prototype was being developed to be shipped as a 3D portrait standalone game where trending music was also included.
My contributions to this project were:
-
Identified and stripped all relevant code from the Fruit Ninja 2 codebase in order to develop the game as a standalone.
-
Shifted the 2D landscape gameplay into 3D portrait.
