The Count-y Fair

Overview

Count On June Bug: Count-y Fair is a PBS Kids educational web game that helps young learners practice counting, sorting, sequencing, and pattern recognition through a collection of county fair-themed activities. Players explore a connected fairground world alongside June Bug, completing interactive challenges designed to reinforce foundational math skills. As the sole developer on the project, I was responsible for the complete implementation of the experience, partnering with design and production to bring the game from concept to release. Using PixiJS, Spine, WebGL, and GSAP, I built the gameplay systems, activity framework, user interface, animation integration, and progression systems that powered the final product.
