Innerspace Brewing SkyFarmer is a 2D puzzle game which you can brew beer by connecting a set of barley, hops, yeast, and water. It was developed for 5 months (from October 2018 to March 2019). Collaborated with After Hours Game Developers organization for Indie Game Intuitive, we were divided into three groups to design indie games. I'm a project lead and game designer of this game and I often worked with my team to create an artistic vision for a game.
Our game was originally going to be an inspiration for Plants vs. Zombies, but due to difficulties with our project, we decided to make a puzzle game similar to Candy Crush Saga instead. Prior to making a puzzle game, I wrote a game design document and guided design discussions with my team. I also arragned monthly meetings with my group to communicate project information and to make deadlines so we can monitored our game progress better.

Innerspace Brewing SkyFarmer is a "match four" puzzle game. To start playing, you must create beer as many as combos (or sets) as possible. In order to create those, you need to connect 4 different crops: barley, hop, yeast, and water. Combos can be made using straight lines, 'U' and 'L' based 90 degree finger drags, or just pushing each crop sequencialy. Beer fills up as combos are collected and when players get every 5 combos, the beer gauge is filled and it will launch like a rocket. That also gets you 2 additional replant button.
Once the crops have been picked, the spot remains empty until the replant button has been pressed. Pressing the replant button allows for all empty spaces to have another round of crops pop up at random. If there are no more possibilites on the board, the game ends with a final score. The final score also shows how many beers you made.
