Camel Dash
Camel Dash is a 3D mobile runner where players navigate desert obstacle courses, collect treasures, and complete increasingly challenging levels. Built in Unity, the project focused on responsive one-touch controls, scalable level progression across hundreds of stages, and stable performance on mobile devices.
Problem
Runner games require responsive controls and clear obstacle design to remain engaging. The challenge was building a system capable of supporting hundreds of levels with varied trap configurations while maintaining smooth performance on mobile devices.
Constraints
- Full gameplay implementation in Unity based on a predefined design concept
- One-touch control scheme required precise player movement feedback
- Levels needed to scale difficulty across hundreds of stages
- Mobile performance had to remain stable despite large numbers of obstacles and collectibles
