Cube Clash
Cube Clash is a conceptual design for a multiplayer team-based battle game, created as part of an academic assignment focused on game design. In this project, I worked exclusively as a game designer, responsible for developing the entire gameplay concept, player roles, core mechanics, and arena layout.
Core Concept
Cube Clash is a fast-paced team battle game where all characters are cubes sliding across a frictionless battlefield. Players attack by jumping onto enemies or using charged special abilities. The game is played between two teams of 4–6 players, with roles assigned randomly at the beginning of each match.
Each team includes:
- 1 Healer
- 1 Heavy (Big Cube)
- 2–4 Regular Players
Gameplay Mechanics
- Movement: Smooth gliding across a flat arena
- Attack: Jumping onto opponents or activating a special ability
- Special Abilities: Charged by dealing damage
Victory is achieved by eliminating all enemy players.
Arena Design
- A flat battlefield, bordered with decorative cube and rectangle structures
- A pyramid-like structure made of cubes in the center, with a floating cube on top
- The floating cube changes color to reflect which team is currently winning

Design Goals
- Create meaningful team synergy through complementary roles
- Ensure dynamic gameplay with charged abilities and cooperative mechanics
- Emphasize visual clarity through geometric simplicity and symmetry
- Encourage both tactical positioning and aggressive play through role diversity
This project highlights my ability to design multiplayer combat systems, role balancing, and visually readable level design. It reflects my interest in creating original mechanics and synergistic team interactions within simple but strategic game environments.
