Skelerix 3D is a solo-developed puzzle-platformer that blends the falling-block mechanics of Tetris with the creature-guiding chaos of Lemmings. Built in Unity for the GameDev.tv Game Jam 2026, the game interprets the jam's theme, "Connection," literally: players place and rotate falling Tetromino-style pieces to construct bridges, connecting a horde of skeletons to safety on the other side of the map.

Beyond core piece placement, the game layers in ability mechanics — players can drop supporting boxes or trigger explosive blocks to reshape the terrain on the fly — alongside a rotatable 3D camera and a time-acceleration option to keep pacing tight. As a solo dev, I handled all design, programming, and implementation within the jam's timeframe.

Role: Solo developer (design, programming, implementation)
Engine: Unity
Platform: WebGL/HTML5 (browser-playable)
Genre: 3D Puzzle-Platformer
Built for: GameDev.tv Game Jam 2026
