About Me

Hey there! I'm Krishnendu currently working in Games24x7

Innovation at the Core

In every game I design, I aim to infuse a spark of innovation that sets it apart. Core innovation is my forte, as demonstrated by patents across two of my game designs. From developing engaging mechanics to crafting player-centered experiences, my design philosophy revolves around creating games that don’t just meet player needs but redefine their expectations.

Word Solitaire

Word Solitaire is a unique free-to-play game that I designed during COVID for Games24x7, notable for introducing in-app purchase (IAP) capabilities into the word game genre.

This innovative game mixes elements of the latest word games and card games, inspiring several developers to create their own versions of Word Solitaire, including PeopleFun, the makers of Wordscapes, who recently launched a similar game titled “Wordscapes Word Solitaire."

Cafe Rescue : Merge

Achieved significant success with Cafe Rescue, a merge game featuring a core loop of serving customers and decorating using in-game currency. By focusing on economy design, core innovation in merge mechanics, and LiveOps, I helped the game reach a D1 retention rate of 51% and a D7 retention rate of 25%, leading to its co-publication by Potato Play.

I developed new merge mechanics, designed LiveOps events and led a team of three game designers and one narrative designer.
