Ball Dash

As a solo game developer, I created Ball Dash, a classic arcade game that's now available on the Google Play store. In this game, players must break through bricks by bouncing a ball off the bricks. The game is played by aiming and firing from the bottom of the screen to control the angle and speed of the ball. The player must break all the bricks before they descend to the bottom of the screen..

Ball Dash lets you exercise your skills, reflexes, and accuracy. On each wave, new bricks appear at the top, and you need to destroy them as much as you can. For every destroyed brick, you will get a point that is added to your score. As the game progresses, it becomes harder and harder. You can also collect stars and use those stars to unlock new balls that can be used for destroying more bricks. You can also collide with the explosion spheres that will break the bricks around them..

To play the game, aim and shoot the ball to break the numbered bricks as they gradually fall. Don't let the numbered bricks get to the bottom of the screen, or else it's game over..

I created Ball Dash using the Unity game engine, which allowed me to build the game for multiple platforms, including PC, MacOS, iOS, Android, and WebGL. I used several programming concepts when developing the game, including physics and collision detection, user interface design, and game mechanics..

One of the key features of Ball Dash is its simple yet addictive gameplay. However, beyond its gameplay, the game also includes a monetization feature through Google ads. This involved integrating Google's Mobile Ads API into the game's codebase, which was no small feat. It required a thorough understanding of the API's documentation and the various ad formats available. Through this integration, I gained valuable experience in working with APIs and in implementing ad monetization strategies in mobile games. Additionally, I ensured that the code remained clean and well-organized, making it easier for future developers to understand and modify the codebase. Overall, this project helped me hone my skills in game development, monetization, and API integration..

Developing Ball Dash was a great experience for me, as I learned a lot about game development and gained valuable technical skills. I also had the opportunity to exercise my creativity and bring my ideas to life. Overall, I'm proud of what I accomplished with Ball Dash, and I'm excited to continue developing games that people will enjoy.

Due to prolonged inactivity, my Google Play Store developer account was terminated, leading to the removal of all my mobile games since 2019. Consequently, the links to these games are currently invalid. I am in the process of recreating my developer account and will re-upload the games in the near future. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
