Welcome to eelbay! The sticky eels of eelbay need your help! They lead busy lives across the ocean, doing a variety of jobs- eelectricians, eelconomists, reel estate agents, you name it! However, the commute always proves to be a challenge, since they're all so darn sticky! Help deeliver the eels to their 9-to-5s before it's too late!

Eelbay is a block-pushing puzzle game where blocks of the same color stick together, creating engaging challenges. To break them apart, players must strategically push blocks of a different color into them. Originally developed as a web-based game during the Ludum Dare game jam, Eelbay was featured by itch.io and received warm acclaim from players. Building on its success, the game was redesigned for mobile platforms, bringing its fun-packed gameplay to a broader audience.

I led the UI design for both the web and mobile versions, as well as the game illustrations, ensuring the experience was intuitive and visually appealing. My focus was on making the game accessible and enjoyable for mobile players while maintaining its playful and hand-drawn aesthetic.
