Case study

Deep Sea Solitaire

Back to Projects

Overview

I had the amazing opportunity to work on Deep Sea Solitaire, the latest game from the designers of Fairway Solitaire at Big Fish Games. In this fascinating underwater adventure, players join Dr. Sylvie Narumi, a well-known ocean explorer, and her adorable pet pufferfish on a quest to discover the secrets of the deep. I had the opportunity to bring the breathtaking underwater environments to life, from brilliant coral reefs to eerie shipwrecks and ancient ruins. Each dive area is meticulously planned to immerse players in a lively underwater environment filled with rare sea life and intriguing discoveries.

Creating underwater environments was one of my favorite parts of working on Deep Sea Solitaire. Players can obtain free cards from nets, burst bubbles, and remove barnacles to solve solitaire puzzles and discover hidden treasures beneath the sea. With each level, players not only train their minds through entertaining and challenging solitaire puzzles, but they also gain a better understanding of marine life and ocean ecosystems. It's quite exciting to see users interact with the game's educational features and learn more about the wonders of the deep sea. Overall, working on Deep Sea Solitaire has been an exciting experience, and I'm glad to have contributed to a game that blends enjoyment, exploration, and education in such an engaging way.
