We're looking for a talented mobile game developer to bring a unique, fast-paced, and competitive clue-based word puzzle game to life. The game will be available on both iOS and Android and is designed to be engaging, solo-friendly, and support asynchronous multiplayer gameplay.

We’ll provide design assets, interface mockups, and a clear gameplay flow. Your role is to turn this vision into a smooth, responsive, and addictive experience that keeps players coming back.

Design and implement a clue/hint system, game timer, and word validation logic.

Develop a scoring system with combo bonuses or multipliers.

Build the in-game economy, including:

Earnable gold/points

Purchasable hints, upgrades, and visual themes

Premium features (e.g., ad-free experience)

Integrate ad systems (rewarded ads, interstitials, banners).

Ensure a clean, modern UI that reflects the provided mockups.

What We’re Looking For:

Proven experience building mobile games for both iOS and Android.

Strong grasp of word/puzzle game mechanics and casual game retention strategies.

Familiarity with mobile game engines like Unity, Flutter, or React Native.

Experience balancing in-game economies and scoring systems.

Skilled in integrating in-app purchases (IAP) and ad networks like AdMob or Unity Ads.

Clean, maintainable code and clear communication for collaboration.

Bonus Points For:

Experience with asynchronous multiplayer or matchmaking systems.

Support for multiple languages/localizations.

Designing daily challenges, limited-time events, or leaderboards.

UI/UX animation polish that enhances player engagement.

What You’ll Get:

Clear gameplay logic, mockups, and art assets to work from.

A fun, focused collaboration on a game with real market potential.

A flexible timeline with milestone-based compensation.

To Apply:
Please include the following:

Portfolio or samples of relevant mobile games (especially word or puzzle-based).

Your preferred tech stack for this project.

A brief explanation of how you would approach asynchronous multiplayer logic.
