The 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. You will explore new rules, objectives, win conditions, pacing and team setups to create a broad range of fun and replayable multiplayer experiences.

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

What you'll do

You will:

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
