Project overview

We’re developing a native iOS mobile game (built in Swift/Xcode) that supports young people with their smartphone addiction and requires a strong visual identity.

Technical requirements:

• All assets must be created in 2D and need to scale to different screen sizes
• Assets need to be optimised for use in a native iOS project, ensuring smooth integration with Apple frameworks like the Screen Time API
• There may be scope for sprite sets/animations

Our offer

• Play a key role in an interesting, challenging and potentially hugely impactful project
