Job Title: Unity Game Developer – 2D Arcade Action Game (Dig Dug Style) Project Overview We are looking for a skilled Unity Developer to create a retro-inspired, 2D subterranean action game. The gameplay mechanics will be heavily influenced by the classic Dig Dug: players navigate a destructible dirt environment, defeat enemies by inflating them or dropping obstacles, and progress through increasingly difficult levels. The project requires a full development cycle, including mechanics, UI, audio integration, and Game Center implementation. Key Technical Requirements • Engine: Unity (latest stable LTS version). • Platform: iOS (optimized for mobile performance). • Input: Virtual on-screen joystick for movement and a dedicated action button for the "pump/inflate" mechanic. • Art Style: 2D Pixel Art (Assets to be provided by freelancer or sourced/integrated). Scope of Work & Tasks 1. Core Mechanics & Physics • Grid-Based Digging: Implement a tile-based destruction system where the player leaves a path behind them as they move through the "dirt." • Inflation Combat: Develop a projectile/harpoon mechanic that attaches to enemies. Repeated button presses must "inflate" the enemy until they pop. • Environmental Hazards: Create falling rock/object physics that can crush both the player and enemies when the dirt beneath them is removed. 2. Level Design & Content • 50 Progressive Levels: Design and implement 50 levels with increasing difficulty, varying dirt patterns, and enemy density. • Enemy AI (10 Variations): Develop 10 distinct enemy types. Behaviors should range from basic patrolling to "ghosting" through walls and increased movement speed. 3. Visuals & Audio • Animations: Create smooth sprite animations for player movement, digging, pumping, and enemy death sequences. • VFX: Implement particle effects for dirt digging and enemy "popping." • SFX & Music: Integrate retro-style 8-bit sound effects (digging, walking, inflating) and a catchy, looping background music track that speeds up as the level nears completion. 4. Integration & UI • Apple Game Center: Full integration of Leaderboards for high scores and Achievement tracking. • UI/UX: Design a clean HUD showing current score, lives remaining, and level number, plus a polished Main Menu and Game Over screen.
