Ben Leffler's Portfolio

Designed to test the deal-making skills of investment bankers, analysts, lawyers, accountants -- or anyone with an interest in the cut and thrust of high finance -- the ansarada M&A Game creates realistic M&A scenarios where role-playing gamers pit their business wits against hostile sellers and fiercely competitive bidders. Players create their own customized avatar and choose a name for their corporation. They then start building their empire with a portfolio of companies from across industry sectors by buying, selling or merging, and along the way they amass a fortune to get onto the coveted leader board ahead of colleagues and competitors on Wall Street and around the world. Developed for iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad utilising the GPU accelerated Starling Framework and Adobe Air.

Developed for ansarada Pty Ltd, this mobile game was built to simulate the Mergers and Acquisitions world in a simplistic and fun way. It took about 10 months to develop from concept through to delivery and went through multiple visual, functional and aesthetic overhauls before the final design was settled on to mirror ansarada's online presence.

This app was developed primarily for casual use on iPhone and layout optimised for iPad devices within the same code base.

As lead developer, I created the entire codebase (with exception to Adobe Air and the Starling GPU Framework which is leveraged upon), came up with the sound effects, music and user experience design. UI was mostly designed by the client to be in-line with their rebranding, but I applied transitioning, treatment and application flow.

The M&A Game has gone on achieve world-wide recognition with very positive reviews and feedback.
