## 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.

- 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
- Identify weak ideas early and confidently cut or reshape them
- Work closely with the Paper.io 2 team to turn concepts into playable experiences
- Document your designs clearly
- Fine-tune modes directly in Unity whenever possible

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys moving quickly from an idea to a playable prototype, testing it and improving it.

Profile

- 5+ years of experience in mobile F2P games, designing new games, gameplay modes or prototypes from scratch
- Experience shipping player-facing content, ideally in mobile games
- A strong understanding of multiplayer and competitive gameplay
- A good sense of pacing, clarity and player motivation
- A pragmatic and iterative approach: prototype, test, cut and retry
- The ability to work independently and take full ownership
- Strong English communication and collaboration skills
- AI-first mindset: Comfortable using AI daily and building custom agents or reusable automations to speed up your work

## Nice to have

- Strong Unity experience
- Ability to prototype directly in the engine
- Experience with mobile controls, multiplayer or party games
