Learning Experience
While designing Defend the Sultan! for the Game & Watch handheld, I had to think creatively and find innovative solutions to the constraints of the LCD screen. Through this process, I was able to develop a technically feasible and highly enjoyable game that stands out with its originality. Working within these constraints allowed me to hone my skills as a game designer and create a unique and memorable gaming experience.
