Cai Cai Balão

Game Designer & Game Developer

Cai Cai Balão is a fast paced parkour-lite racing game in which you complete intense missions in the favelas of Brazil.

Race, jump, dodge aggressive cops, snipers, dogs in order to catch the balloons before your rivals.

Earn respect in the favela by interacting with the locals. Make friends or enemies. Suffer or benefit from the results of your choices. Keep your resources in balance in order not to die.

Cai Cai Balão is both a documentary movie and a game project. It is based on an ancient culture that is no longer legal but still practiced by some people in Brazilian favelas. I have designed and developed a mobile game for this cinematic universe.

I have taken core positions in the whole journey of the game. I have been a part of the design since the early concept creation. Alongside programming the metagame, I was leading the development team. I took the co-director responsibility in the team consisting of over 10 people. With this project, I could challenge myself to control a small-scale game studio until the release with all aspects of game creation processes.  

In Cai Cai Balão you play as Simba, a young woman who needs to survive in the Balloon World — a secret society in the favelas of Brazil. Catch the balloons before rival gang members – & without getting caught by the police.
