BIT DEFENDIR

GAME • UX/UI • ART DIRECTION

As part of a campaign to celebrate Thinkpad’s 25th anniversary, we created 25 different experiences that show off the company’s accomplishments. Me and my friend used that freedom to create a game demo representative of Thinkpad’s security chip advancements. Ultimately, it turned into more of a passion project and something we got excited about.

In Bit Defendir, you are Chippy, a security chip in a constant struggle against hackers and their bots that want steal the keys to your system. And you simply cannot allow them to do that!

Bit Defendir is obviously inspired by a ~popular~ arcade game but with the roles reversed. It keeps the simple game loops of this ~popular~ game but adds a few more mechanics to make the in-the-moment progression more exciting.
