Knight Moves

The Knight Moves is an extremely addictive game for every casual gamer or puzzle solver.
It has very simple rules:
You must visit every open square of a chess board with your knight, using knight moves (L-shape).
Some squares are blocked, so you’ll have to search the path to each open square.

I worked on the iOS and android apps using cocos2d-x, as well as on the game and UI design.

Blinqer

Blinqer is a Portuguese iOS and web application that allows users to view promotions and announcements from their favorite companies.

EatMyDirt!

EatMyDirt! is an iOS application that allows users to run against real people in custom made tracks. Users have a map with checkpoints that must be reached in order to finish the race. Users can also create their own custom tracks, challenge their friends or try to beat records for existing tracks. Points can be won by having other users race in your track or by posting fast times.
