Magic Masks is a Sokoban-like puzzle game in which you have to push boxes around to solve puzzles. There are four different kinds of masks to collect which give your character different special powers. For example, the Creation Mask enables you to create your own box out of thin air, and the Teleport Mask allows you to swap the positions of existing boxes throughout the level.

My role in the game was as a level designer which involved level layout, puzzle design, game mechanics design, prototype, systems tuning, and game debugging. I designed 40 out of 71 puzzles, as well as some UI and UX design.

Area Select

There are 8 areas in the game and each stage has up to 10 levels with a unique theme.

The Masks

There are 6 different masks in the game. Each of them has different ability to help the player solve the puzzles. In later levels, the player is required to swap between masks to complete them.

Enemies

There are enemies in the game which stop the player from solving puzzles. You can destroy them or even convert them into helpful boxes.

Level Design

Some levels I designed before prototyped them. Usually I did them on graph papers first.
