Backstory

Your mum has been kidnapped! The world is being swallowed by the darkness using their minions called Shadows. It is up to you and your family's secret "Shingi" to rescue her. "Shingi" were guarded by divinely chosen families, though many have gone to decline over the years and their Shingi has been lost since. Find these divine weapons and save your mother and the world!

Meet Saya and Asuka

The Protagonist is named Saya. She is family oriented and a typical hero-type of girl. The strong sense of Justice leads her to continue her journey to bring light back to the world as well as rescue her mother from the grasps of the Antagonist; Asuka.

What is Shingi?

It is a match 3 puzzle game that I intended to be a hand-drawn deformed, cartoon style with a touch of fantasy. You play as the protagonist; Saya and get through the levels through matching orbs and defeating the enemies. I took inspiration from Tsum Tsum and wanted to create a collection of "Shingi" to wear and have different abilities. Here are some of the maps I have created for different levels and the world map is below them if I were to continue making this game more polished.

Here are the sprites for the characters, and below it are the animated versions of them that are used for the game.

Sprite Designs for UI and Background

So here are the sprites I have used and designed for my game. I decided to make it simplistic but readable.
