Kanye's Quest is a 2D arcade game in which your mission is to guide Kanye through his career challenges and most controversial moments of his professional and personal life. The game is composed of 6 levels and 5 minigames that culminate in a final battle against Kanye's biggest enemy: his ego.
As part of my role, I designed the level's graphics according to Kanye's music albums and phases of his life. I was also responsible for the interaction and UX design of the game, which was developed in Unity 2D.
Kanye's sprites change according to each level:
The other sprites in the game are inspired by people that had an important impact on Kanye's life. Characters such as Kim Kardashian, Jay-Z, or Taylor Swift appear in different stages of Kanye's Quest as enemies or allies.
Kanye's Quest unique arcade cabinet design was inspired by Kanye's aesthetic choices and it has a K carved on its left side and a W on the right side.
