Exam Project

Boomi Countdown

A fast, social party game for 4–12 players. Players connect via mobile or desktop to a shared room where a pixelated bomb creature — Boomi — is passed around during a 60-second round. One player secretly places Boomi. Everyone else tries to figure out who.

My role

Solo project — I handled everything from game design and UX to frontend development and deployment. This included building the real-time multiplayer flow with Firestore, designing the pixel UI system, implementing sprite animations with PixiJS, and adding sound effects and background music via Howler.js.

The project was built over six weeks as part of a school exam, with a focus on playability, accessibility (WCAG 2.1 A/AA), and a coherent retro aesthetic throughout.
