Top-down Platformer/Shooter

Tom Sparks and The Quakes of Ruin is a top-down action-adventure / shooter game with a healthy dose of exploration, platforming, puzzles and smashing things thrown in for good measure.

This was Tasty Poison’s first PC title after focusing primarily on mobile up until this point. Tom Sparks started as a 3rd person platformer/shooter and after a platform change and some time in pre-production it morphed into a top down shooter with some light platforming. The team put together a high quality and fun alpha demo which was put up on a Kickstarter campaign and launched on Steam Greenlight.

I headed up the project leading the programming team, heading up design, managing and coordinating the various departments and creating sound effects.
