Experienced Game Designer – Mobile & Rhythm-Based Mini-Games

Our studio is an international indie team of mobile game developers.

We are fully remote and operate across several countries, with a flat and flexible team structure.

Our main focus is a rhythm-based mobile game where players tap and swipe to music.

We’re currently building a playable build with 200 tracks and custom mechanics designed for casual music fans and core players alike.

🎵 What makes us unique?

We blend intuitive gameplay design with rhythm theory and musical feel. Our gameplay is backed by creative expertise in musical timing and player psychology.

Our team includes specialists from audio, UX, game design, and programming — working closely together via Unity, Figma, Jira, and Telegram.

💸 How are we funded and stable?

We are fully investment-backed and operate under a UAE-registered company (REAL SKILL GAMES SPV LTD), with legal and financial structure in place. All work is paid in under 24 hours after approval, in your preferred currency — fiat or crypto.

🧠 What are we working on now?

We’re building the main release version, polishing UX and level design. A strong focus is placed on rhythm charting, gameplay feedback, and evolving interaction systems.

We are also preparing the first playable build for pre-release testing in Q4.

📌 Why join us now?

This is a rare chance to shape a game from within, not just contribute to a feature. You’ll define how the rhythm feels, how players interact, and what keeps them coming back.

🎯 Test Task

Shortlisted candidates will be given a simple test task to chart a 1-minute music track inside Unity using our custom tools.

You’ll be asked to define tapping/swiping patterns and demonstrate rhythm intuition.
