Samsara
Concept
Enter a world thrown out of balance. Nature has separated into its three physical states and is rapidly deteriorating with no hope of returning to harmony. It's up to you to restore the balance. Use your abilities over solid, liquid, and gas to traverse levels and solve puzzles in this 2D side-scroller.

Purpose
This game was developed as part of a collaboration between the University of Southern California and the Geidai Art School in Tokyo.
I was accepted into the collaboration and organized into a group with two other USC game designers and three Geidai students. We worked together over the course of six months to create this game.
It was an incredibly challenging but ultimately rewarding opportunity.
