Greetings, I'm a freelance programmer currently developing 2D games for iOS – iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad – and for Mac OS X.

I've developed projects both for myself - eg. shivering kittens (Mac OS X; video; 4.5/5.0★ on MacUpdate) - and for clients - eg. Topsy Turvy (iOS – iPhone & iPod touch; video; 4.5/5.0★ on the App Store.)

I've just completed development of a couple of projects, so I'm now looking for further freelance programming work – so if you might be interested in having me program your project, please email me at freelancer@sealfin.com

Thank you for reading

I'm just been given permission to post a video of (a beta of) the latest app I've been developing for a client, Q's Quest : The Beginning (Please ignore the slight 'jerkiness' of- and faded colours in- the video, they're artefacts of the screencaster/video compressor I'm using.)

Looks like pretty decent gameplay! For some reason, it gives me the impression of what Sonic the Hedgehog might look like if it were a simplified, top-down scroller.

The spinning background makes me dizzy

Thanks! I'm only responsible for the programming though (The client is responsible for the design etc.)

O...kay Maybe because the level shown in the video is a level which was built early in development and so doesn't take advantage of a few features which weren't programmed at that point – other levels are a lot less linear, and the game plays a lot like Jake Leveto's Escape...

(Though you mentioning a top-down Sonic the Hedgehog has somehow reminded me of Rise of the Triad, which with its tokens and jump-pads often felt like a first-person Sonic the Hedgehog. With gibs.)

I just completed a job a couple of weeks ago, so: bump
