About the project
Who it's for: people who want to unwind quickly, between meetings, on the commute or in the evening. The problem: anti-stress apps are often too basic, ad-heavy or stressful from aggressive gamification. The solution: PopRelax, an iOS bubble popping app with lo-fi music, satisfying sounds, haptic feedback and 3 game modes. What I delivered: design, SwiftUI development, SpriteKit, GameKit, combo and leaderboard system, App Store release. Outcome: published on the App Store, 3 modes (Classic, Zen, Challenge), 3 mini-games, 7 power-ups and global leaderboards.
