2D Artist / Game Artist (Mobile Puzzle Games)

Who we are. A new mobile studio focused on casual puzzle games: sort, match, tile, jams, and new waves of the genre. Our first product is a cozy “corner shop” sort puzzle. The studio is backed by an experienced investor and publisher from the top of mobile gaming. Our edge is an in-house adaptive difficulty and personalization engine — the game adapts to every player.

Why it’s interesting. You’ll be the studio’s first artist and set the visual style and feel of the game, with room to grow into Art Lead.

What you’ll do

• Define and own the style: a style guide (palette, light, outlines, proportions) so that 200 items and every screen look like one game

• Item icons: 150–200 items

• Game screens: shelves, baskets, counter, mechanics (ice, paper bags, boarded-up shelf, hammer, key), boosters, buttons, pop-ups, win screen

• Game juice with the Unity developer: basket-complete effects, rewards, win moments, feedback on every player action

• Quick setting variations (3–5) for creative tests

• App icon and store screenshots; later, creative assets and seasonal skins

Requirements

• Casual puzzles in your portfolio: sort (goods, water, ball sort), match-3, triple match, tile, merge, block

• Game juice: effects, reward and action animations, color and light that make the game feel good to touch. Please show videos or GIFs, not only static images

• AI in your workflow: you get the most out of AI tools and keep manual work to a minimum, but the result never looks like raw generation

• Consistent style across a large asset set, and speed

• A strong eye: you know what top puzzle games of 2025–2026 look like and why their art works

• Understanding how assets live in Unity (atlases, sizes, 9-slice, particles)

• Independence: you suggest options instead of waiting for a brief for every icon

• Ready to be productive from day one, as timelines are tight

• Nice to have: art education (color theory, composition), Spine or other 2D animation, VFX in Unity, ad creatives, UI for an older audience

Unfortunately, we can’t consider applications without puzzle game work.
