Role

Paper Party is the multiplayer mode of Paper.io 2. We are looking for a dedicated Game Designer to improve the modes we already have and create new ones from scratch.

All modes will keep the Paper universe, camera and controls. Beyond that, there is a lot of creative freedom. You will explore new rules, objectives, win conditions, pacing and team setups to create a broad range of fun and replayable multiplayer experiences.

You will:

Design and prototype new gameplay modes

Improve existing Paper Party modes

Define simple, readable rules for one-finger controls

Iterate quickly through testing, feedback and playtests

Balance accessibility, competition, pacing and replayability
