Pikmin-Like Game

A cooperative puzzle-platformer developed on PS5 devkits using our custom engine.

Designed for two players on a shared screen, the game features asymmetric gameplay mechanics and a variety of interactive elements that encourage teamwork and creative problem-solving. It was developed entirely with our own custom engine, taking full advantage of its flexibility to deliver smooth and dynamic local co-op gameplay.

🏆 Game Republic Student Showcase 2025

SkyGlyphs was nominated at the Game Republic Student Showcase 2025, hosted on 17 June 2025 at Sheffield Hallam University. The largest edition so far, with 180+ students from 14 universities judged by studios including Distinctive Games, Pitstop Productions, Red Kite Games, Revolution Software, Sumo Digital Sheffield and Atomhawk. Sharing the night with the rest of the team is the memory I want to keep next to the project :‘)
