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.

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

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

Profile

  • 5+ years of experience in mobile F2P games, designing new games, gameplay modes or prototypes from scratch

  • Experience shipping player-facing content, ideally in mobile games

  • A strong understanding of multiplayer and competitive gameplay

  • A good sense of pacing, clarity and player motivation

  • A pragmatic and iterative approach: prototype, test, cut and retry

  • The ability to work independently and take full ownership

  • Strong English communication and collaboration skills

Nice to have

  • Strong Unity experience

  • Ability to prototype directly in the engine

  • Experience with mobile controls, multiplayer or party games

  • Experience working on live games or live content
