Rogue Slots

About the Project

Rogue Slots is a chaotic roguelike where the player’s weapon is an enchanted slot machine strapped to their back. Players spin for abilities, fight enemies, and push through increasingly difficult challenges. The project blends fast arena combat with a casino-inspired visual style.

My Contributions

My level-design work included the Cosmic Clash arena and environmental spaces for combat and bonus activities. I also worked on the layout of the main menu and supporting UI screens, emphasizing readable options and clear navigation between gameplay, settings, and instructions.

Research and Design

I approached the interface and play area as spaces where players should quickly understand their available choices. Research on visual cognitive load supported my focus on keeping information clear and avoiding unnecessary distractions during decisions (Sweller, 2023; van Nooijen et al., 2024).
