and student-life simulator, where the player takes on the role of a student in the future, who has to balance a few different factors, such as sleep, stress, and nutrition, all while studying for their final week of exams. If the player fails a level, the &#8220;sages&#8221; give a lesson on how to do better next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pedagogically, the game addressing different aspects of meta-cognition, such as: memorization, well-being, managing mental fatigue, understanding learning styles, effective task organization and perception of success. It is structured into separate chapters, allowing players to focus on the topics that interest them. It also includes a logbook feature allowing players to record their observations and reflections on their own gaming experience, which can be downloaded in PDF format for future reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I came up with the concept for this project, but was helped by quite a few people in creating it: Florian Boyer, Andr\u00e9 Quentin, Mar\u00e9chal Eliot, Camille Abella, Gr\u00e9goire Francisco, Ronan Le Breton, Jean-Baptiste Mar, Xuan Le, Sana Coftier, Nawel Benrhannou, Juliette Am\u00e9lie, William Barreau, C\u00e9drik Sain-Germain, and Ilyes Khamassi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Red Boat Quest (2022)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Clean up the ocean in this fast-paced boat game<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/heavenstone.net\/jesse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Tutoriel-EN-reduction.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/projects.playcurious.games\/red-boat-quest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Play Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This was a holiday-themed event video game created in just under 1 month for Edenred, as a fun alternative to the usual event card. It gathered over 140k plays!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game invites players to clean the ocean of plastic and other waste. The game was available for two months during which time Edenred committed to making a donation to an NGO specializing in ocean cleanup according to the total score achieved by players at the end of the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by classic arcade games as well as mobile cleaning games, Edenred Boat Quest offers a simple collection gameplay with a progressive increase in difficulty. Some game sessions last about 5 to 10 minutes, but players would keep going at it to beat the high score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On this game, I did the game design and programming, with help from Camille Abella. Thiebault Courot did the art and animations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CRISPR Crunch (2023)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Action-puzzle game inspired by gene editing techniques, for iOS and Android<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Teaser - CRISPR Crunch, are you ready to win the biotechnical battle ? #shorts\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lVQCaZLeAW0?start=3&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/crispr-crunch\/id6446498057?ign-itscg=30200&amp;ign-itsct=apps_box_link\">Play on iOS<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=games.playcurious.crispr_crunch\">Play on Android<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/crispr-crunch.playcurious.games\/\">Play in Browser<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This was a large project for us- an action-puzzle game for mobile to discover how CRISPR Cas-9 works.
