During my time at Lemondo and as a freelance developer, I immersed myself in the vibrant world of casual gaming, contributing to an extensive portfolio of titles that showcased the genre’s diversity. From addictive hyper-casual experiences to intricate puzzle games, each project enriched my expertise in different aspects of game development. I tackled various technical challenges, from optimizing physics-based gameplay for low-end mobile devices to implementing complex crowd simulation systems that pushed the boundaries of mobile gaming capabilities.

The projects ranged from simple yet engaging tap-based games to more sophisticated titles featuring advanced particle systems and realistic physics simulations. Working across multiple sub-genres provided unique opportunities to innovate within established frameworks while maintaining the core principle of casual gaming – easy to play, hard to master. Each game demanded its own approach to optimization, whether it was reducing build sizes for app store requirements, implementing efficient memory management for limited mobile resources, or ensuring smooth performance across a wide range of devices.

These experiences proved invaluable in developing a comprehensive understanding of the casual gaming market’s technical requirements and user expectations. Through careful iteration and refinement, I helped create games that not only entertained but also performed flawlessly across various platforms and devices. The diversity of projects allowed me to build a versatile skill set in performance optimization, cross-platform development, and user experience design, while consistently meeting the strict technical requirements of different app stores and gaming platforms.
