**Toon Squad Neo****Balancing, Live Ops, Level Creation and Game Balancing on this Match 3 Battler****Role: Senior Game Designer**

- Toon Squad is a match 3 battle game originally developed by Level 6.

- It also included a base building component that fed into the character upgrade loop of the game

- Since June Gaming took over development duties we released a continuous stream of updates.

- We added 30 new PvE Levels to the current 50.

- Several rounds of balancing the various resource costs and build timers in the game.

- Based on retention and engagement values, we added tutorials as required and changed the timeline for several mechanics that are introduced in the game.

- I worked on analyzing the current game and coming up with a list of features for the future roadmap of the game.

- We ran events in the game and released the Squad Wars feature to players.

- I also created a few tools to run some of the live operations in the game.
