SwipeFight

SwipeFight is a two-player platform fighting game based on a research paper on the design limitations of fighting games made for mobile devices. Within this paper, I conducted UX/UI research on the strengths and shortcomings of platform fighting games on consoles and mobile devices, analyzing usability challenges and interaction design. Based on the results, I attempted to apply my findings to design an MVP game optimized for intuitive touch controls and an improved mobile gaming experience. In particular, the features I wanted to implement were intuitive movement and combo mechanics to prove the viability of the genre.

Within the download is my thesis paper, along with an .apk to try the game on an Android device, and a .exe compatible with a touchscreen monitor on PC (mileage may vary).
