Couch co-op chaos about recognizing and replacing bad energy-label items.

About The Project

PowerFix Inc. was a first-year CMGT project where our team built a fast-paced couch co-op game inspired by Overcooked. Players take on the role of a group of clumsy “bodgers” who race through a house, find appliances with bad energy labels and replace them with better ones. The goal was to teach players about energy efficiency in a way that felt playful and silly instead of educational or text heavy.

Tools Used

Unity
Blender
Photoshop

What I Did

I created most of the 3D work for this project. This includes the character models, environmental assets and props. I also worked on the character designs, making sure the bodgers looked iconic and a bit goofy. On top of that, I helped shape the level layouts so the rooms encouraged moving around together, bumping into each other and creating that fun co-op chaos.

Design Highlights

Character design: Modeled the characters and designed their look, aiming for something silly and memorable.
Environment assets: Created the props and environmental assets that make up the house.
Level design: Worked on level layouts that encourage teamwork and fast movement.
Visual direction: Helped define the visual style for the game.

What I Liked About This Project

This was my first co-op game and it was great to see people immediately understand how to play and start laughing within seconds. Designing the characters was especially fun. Making the bodgers look a bit ridiculous helped set the tone of the whole game. Seeing players learn about energy labels simply through playing made the project feel both fun and useful.
