La Migra was a game I developed as part of my senior thesis project exploring our broken immigration system and the hardships of people attempting to navagate it.

  • Inspired by video games of my childhood.

    The 8-bit style and music carries the game to crank the nostalgia factor up to a ten. La Migra is a jumping-style game where the obstacles and foes become more difficult to defeat.

  • A tongue in cheek way to inspire thought.

    La Migra was an over-the-top satirization on our hyper-gamified world highlighting the struggles of real people.
