After several months of development, version 1.0 of my solo project, Garden Beetle, is finally live and available to play!

Garden Beetle is a 2D action game in the style of classic arcade games I grew up with. You race your hungry beetle around a maze-like garden, avoiding hostile enemies, while you try to eat all of the vegetables to clear the level before time's up. There are 50 levels to complete with 5 rival beetles on every tenth level to face off with. The game also features an achievement like system called "accolades" which are tied to each saved game, a fun, playful soundtrack by Daniel Noronha, an in-game classic-style instruction manual, and a few hidden secrets to discover. If you're a fan of classic arcade games, or just enjoy fast action/puzzle games in general, then consider giving Garden Beetle a try!

Garden Beetle was built in Unity by myself as a side project. Game development has been a passion of mine, and it's exciting to finally finish my first project and share it with everyone! I used to work as a software engineer at different Boston-area game studios, but over the last few years, I transitioned to non-game related iOS development and became a dad, so this game represents the work I've done recently to work on some of my own game ideas in what little spare time I still have. :)
