The game dev behind Cipher Set, Bilattice, and the upcoming Starhopper.

During preschool, I used to draw mazes on paper, and I would force my parents to solve them. My obsession for puzzles has only grown ever since.

Additionally, I make DAW plugins and original music.

STARhopper

A new space-themed puzzle game, “Starhopper,” is in the works. This is my best work so far, by far. At the time of writing this, there are nearly 100 playable levels in the game but there are hundreds more to come.

A deep focus on quality of life features, fancy graphics, weird mechanics and improved level design incoming. For now, the mechanics are top secret, but below is a sneak peak of the level select screen:

Bilattice

My second project was another puzzle game, this time with over 300 levels. The game starts out with relatively simple ideas but builds towards an insane late-game.

There’s even an actual 4-Dimensional level, as well as a timed challenge featuring randomly generated puzzles set to an upbeat soundtrack. The game is OUT NOW on Steam.

Here is a fun little video preview I made to showcase the variety in mechanics:

CIPHER SET

Cipher Set was my first major project, which I developed across my freshman year of high school. It’s a unique iOS puzzle game, containing hours of content across nearly 100 carefully designed puzzles. There are tons of mechanics, musical sound effects, and secrets…

There’s no tutorial. You discover the rules as you go.

Each level is built, with the player’s thought-process in mind, to convey a specific idea through a moment of epiphany. The difficulty comes not from needless complexity or tedious length, but from thoughtful level design and clever solutions to perceived impossibilities.

Available on the iOS app store. Check out the trailer below:

Galarem

Galarem is the name under which I publish my experimental electronic music. It’s quite different from the Bilattice & Cipher Set OSTs. I don’t personally use presets or sample packs; I like having full control over the sound.
