I joined the team mid-way through production to help find the right flow for levels. My goal was to design more introductory courses to ease the early difficulty spike and tutorialize the enemies and pickups without breaking the pacing. I ended up having a hand in almost half of the levels published in the original itch.io release of the game, many of them focused on tutorializing the player and forcing them to adapt to new enemy and movement challenges. I designed many of the original levels for world 1 and 2, and when the project was revitalized for a Steam release the following year those levels were retouched by other contractors to account for new level elements (and they did a great job!)

I was brought on to the project to help flesh out the level content in general. Much of my work centered on maintaining an intended skill focus and pacing set out by the design team beforehand. It was fun finding new ways to explore 3D movement that complimented the legacy mechanics! Quickly it became clear that there were a lot of opportunities to build unique and engaging levels that felt like a truly leveled up Skator Gator while also maintaining the unique lane hopping gameplay of the original. I created concepts for a little under half of the levels in the game across all three worlds, which I took through greyboxing and playtesting as well as provided feedback on all other designs.
