Animalcules
Animalcules (later renamed Doodle Pinball) is a mobile game that I designed and coded on my own time in 2014. At that time, my former employer Vicious Cycle was attempting to move into the mobile game business but without much success. I created Animalcules and gave it to VCS management. We gave the art some polish (courtesy of our talented Concept Artist Ivan Moy), then handed it off to our parent company Little Orbit. Funding was difficult to come by so the game ultimately never grew beyond the three-level game that I created.
The gameplay is simple: you launch spherical creatures ("animalcules") out of a cannon and draw lines for them to bounce off. Your goal is to collect all five stars before you run out of animalcules.
