Exalt
Learning as a game
A playful R&D prototype
Exalt is a mobile prototype I designed and built during Coorpacademy's R&D exploration on learning through gaming.
The goal was to rethink the quiz format as a small arcade game — earn stars, collect power-ups and face your friends in short duels. Multiple game modes were developed including solo, duel and melee.
Built with Solar2D / Lua on top of Cherry, my open-source game framework. Deployed on both iOS and Android, wired to the Coorpacademy course catalog so every match uses real learning content.
The codebase was split between generic reusable components (Cherry — BSD 3 licensed) and Coorpacademy-specific integrations such as course retrieval, user data extraction and progression export.
Demos & trailers
Totem melee
Melee mode — multiple players compete simultaneously on the same totem challenge.
Workflow & solo mode
Solo sessions — pick a course, answer questions, earn stars through arcade sequences.
Duel mode
A short duel — two players, one question, one minigame.

The Coorpacademy playground
A dedicated companion app that pulls courses from the Coorpacademy catalog and turns them into playful, bite-sized sessions.
Questions, reimagined
Classic multiple-choice questions wrapped in a game world — pick the right answer, take down the enemy, collect a star.
Stars, streaks and feedback
Instant feedback after each answer — correct answers unlock stars and trigger short arcade sequences that celebrate the player's progress.
Play against your peers
A short head-to-head duel mode — two players, one question, one minigame. Built to spark conversations around corporate learning.
Spaceship, forest and survival
Several arcade minigames were developed as answer sequences — a spaceship dodging obstacles at increasing speed, a forest exploration and a survival challenge. Wrong answers trigger explosions, right answers push you further.
