Hotball

When I designed Hotball, my primary goal was to create a sports video game that utilizes the affordances of the digital format to its fullest. In order to do this, I wanted to include the elements that make real-life sports exciting while implementing concepts that could only be realized in the video game format. Additionally, by creating an original sport, I was able to discard elements of real-life sports that become irrelevant in the digital format.

The game design is available in HTML and PDF.
