Originally developed for the 2025 Global Game Jam, Breath Bound is a co-op survival game centered on a shared single-tank breathing mechanic. Although I was focused on other projects during the optional 48-hour jam, I took an active role in the subsequent development phase to transition the proof-of-concept into a polished, commercial title for Fireslug Studios.

My work focused on consulting for the final stages of development, where I refined several level layouts to improve player flow and environmental storytelling. My primary contribution involved designing and balancing the final boss sequence; this required coordinating closely with the development team to ensure the concluding levels remained enjoyable and fair while introducing a high-stakes chase mechanic.

Below you can find the Global Game Jam page, and itch.io page for the game.
