Arte y diseño digital: juegos para pantallas táctiles
Publicado el por Gaby
Participar en este proyecto internacional, de la mano de la cooperativa de desarrolladores freelance de Lady Shotgun Ltd. como encargada del diseño conceptual, la estética gráfica y la ilustración, significó un enorme desafío profesional.
Proviniendo del plano artístico plástico y de las estructuras tradicionales del diseño gráfico, adentrarme en la creación e ilustración de personajes interactivos requirió moldear mis procesos técnicos. Con una propuesta visual innovadora y rupturista para el ecosistema móvil, Buddha Finger irrumpió en el mercado global logrando posicionarse rápidamente en los selectos listados de los mejores títulos para smartphones, incluyendo el prestigioso Top 12 de Virgin Media, entre otras condecoraciones del sector.

Industry Previews
"...a neat casual beat-'em-up in which characters are defeated by swiping on-screen numbers in the correct order, occasionally tapping wildly when the icon demands. It has the feel of a Wario or Bishi Bashi mini-game and the crucial touch UI is wonderfully implemented."
— Guardian Online Games Blog: Keith Stuart"Simple but fiendishly addictive... the second with bells on!"
— Gamezebo: Emma Boyes"This is great! It's s really unusual idea, one of those, 'I wish I'd thought of that' type things. It's kinda like a cross between Twister, Fruit Ninja and BopIt!"
