• Obstacle attributes

  (spawn rates, patterns, damage).

• Health systems

  (damage, regeneration, survivability).
• 
  
• Build and maintain

  Google Sheets

  to calculate, test, and simulate difficulty progression, balancing, and scaling.
• Use

  formulas, conditional logic, and data models

  to ensure gameplay systems are fair, scalable, and adaptable.
• Work closely with the design team to create

  clear documentation

  of mechanics, difficulty curves, and balancing strategies.
• Participate in

  playtests

  , analyze results, and adjust tuning using data-driven insights.
