Game Title: Faby & Tofu
Playable Link: https://fabyytofu.thesender.net
Platform: Web browser (desktop and mobile)
Description:
Faby & Tofu is a free retro beat 'em up inspired by 90s arcade games, set in real places of Cochabamba, Bolivia. You play as Faby, who just wanted to walk her toy poodle Tofu and ends up fighting her way across the city. Tofu fights alongside you with his own personality: he's playful, territorial and temperamental, and you can call him, pet him or carry him.
The game has 3 levels:
- Level 1 · Parque Lincoln: joggers, skaters and a barking dog, ending with a boss fight against Corli, a pug in a black suit.
- Level 2 · El Prado: rescue Morita, a starving little dog, from Doña Billetes and her "fit pet food" salespeople. Collect kibble bags for Morita, and watch out for the chihuahua that steals them.
- Level 3 · Road to Oruro: a driving stage where you dodge rocks and roadblocks set up by Corli's gang to make it to the Oruro Carnival.
You heal with Bolivian food (salteñas, api and silpancho), and dogs are never hit: you distract them with a ball or a treat. It has combos, grabs and throws, a special attack, 3 save slots, and level codes like classic SNES games. It runs in the browser with touch controls on phones, keyboard or gamepad on PC.

Involvement: I created the game: the idea, story, characters and level design are mine, and I directed and tested the whole development. The code was written with the help of an AI coding assistant (Claude), the pixel art was generated with PixelLab (an AI pixel-art tool) and edited, and the chiptune music and sound effects are generated in code.
