About:

Two-player sports game with MOBA elements (i.e. League of Legends or DOTA 2). Players assign each athlete a spell to support teammates or hinder opponents. The goal is to capture the ball and kick it towards the opponent’s tower. Players score points when the tower’s health is empty.
I was brought on to overhaul the game’s design and user interface. We combined mechanics to appeal to fans of both sports games and MOBA games.
