Project Overview

Concept: Plunko is a Peggle-inspired arcade game built around shooting a ball into a field of pegs, scoring through collisions, and using randomized layouts to keep each playthrough fresh.

Goal: The goal was to create a small-scope but polished mobile game with enough randomization, unlocks, achievements, and customization to support replayability.

Team: A collaborative project made by Kevin Lewis and Adam Carter. My roles included programming, UI, sound effects, tutorial implementation, and gameplay systems.

AspectDetail
ReplayabilityWe built a game that could be replayed beyond a single playthrough through randomized peg spawning, randomized special peg unlocks, and a scoring-driven gameplay loop.
ScopeFor a small project with a limited production window, we implemented almost everything we set out to build, with the main missing feature being a daily playable level.
PolishFor a two-person team, the project reached a polished state with achievements, customization, special pegs, and a structure that could support future expansion.
