Raphael Panduro | Stellar Rescue

Stellar Rescue is a 2D educational mobile game made up of fun minigames. Children play alongside the Rescue Squad — Purple, Green, and Orange — as they collect stellar fragments to help a star that is slowly losing its brightness.

I joined the project halfway through development and took on the task of improving the game’s technical structure. To make the project easier to expand and polish, I rebuilt it with a clean and modular codebase, re-creating the existing gameplay while making it more flexible and easier to work with.

In addition to the core gameplay, I focused heavily on polishing the overall experience. I added visual and audio feedback using Visual Effect Graph, Shader Graph, sound effects, and haptic feedback to make interactions feel more satisfying and responsive.

I also implemented several new systems, including a progress-based cutscene unlock system, an album scene where unlocked cutscenes can be viewed again, a collectibles system, multi-language support (English and Spanish) through localization, and a parental control system that lets parents set playtime limits for their children.

This project is one of the most polished and complete games I’ve worked on, and it represents my focus on clean code, player feedback, and creating smooth, well-finished gameplay experiences.

Whiskered Wanderer is a 3D isometric puzzle game set in the temple Katzhilonys, inhabited many centuries ago by the Felygrith species.

You embody Nikolas Watson, who while reaching and trying to enter it, encounters Vyrx, a mysterious alien creature with an appearance similar to a cat. Upon discovering that they both have the sacred relic as their objective, they decide to work together to obtain it, however within the temple, an large number of challenges and riddles await them.

I joined the project as programming Lead, coding the main mechanics of the game, programming the UI and implementing the assets developed by the team. In addition, i was a member of the game design team, designing the game section's layouts and various game puzzles.

It was also my first approach to visual effects, developing and implementing them to provide eye-catching feedback

The multiple systems embeded in the game made this project a complete challenge for my programming skills and organization.
