My Contribution

I worked a lot on the UI functionality for this project. For example fading screens, unlockable levels, and the stars displaying your score. When I wasn't working on the UI I mostly added small details and polishing, like playing particle effects and animations on the animals placed around the levels and some of the events that happen when you finish the puzzles: A forcefield holding back the water disappears and the boat gets thrown into the water and floats towards the next level.

Even though I did not work on any particularly impressive programming tasks, this is one of the projects I am more proud of. We were a well-functioning group with good cooperation and I think we managed to put together a game that was fun and felt good to play.
