Game Designer (Remote)
About this role
At [REDACTED], we create mobile hypercasual and casual titles that are simple to pick up and deeply satisfying to master. We care about clarity, pacing, and that crisp game feel that makes every tap delightful—without overcomplicating the experience.

Hands-on Unity skills are a plus. Your superpower is shaping readable, juicy, mobile-first play from concept to soft launch and beyond.
Tasks
What You'll Do
- Define core loops & goals: articulate the player verbs, success/fail states, and short/long-term motivation.
- Own moment-to-moment feel (design-side): specify timing, feedback layers (FX/SFX/haptics), hitstop/anticipation usage, and readability rules.
- Design flows & onboarding (FTUE): map session structure, difficulty curves, level progression, and retention beats (D1/D7).
- Create clear documentation: concise design specs, wireframes, user flows, tuning sheets, and content guidelines that teams can execute against.
- Place & pace content: define level archetypes, obstacles/hazards, spawn logic, rewards, and meta-progression (where applicable).
- Run playtests: plan tests, collect qualitative notes and simple metrics; translate insights into actionable changes.
- Collaborate cross-functionally: partner with Product, Art, Audio, and Engineering to ensure designs ship as intended and feel great on device.
