Turtlerab

In this project my daughters (4 and 6 years old) took on the roles of game designers. I created the game based on their creative visions, while they were responsible for crafting the graphics and producing the sound effects. The game was launched on Google Play for mobile and tablet devices in 2016. It was built using plain JavaScript without any external libraries.
