2D Artist (UI focus)

Neskin Stars is an independent startup where creators of Evermerge and seasoned developers are building the future of merge-3 games.

We’re contributing a lot of expertise we’ve gotten over the last 14 years working on merge-3 games here at Neskin Stars. Our team knows quite well what it takes to run a hit game and is ready to entertain players and exceed their expectations.

We rely on transparency, ownership and creativity that always comes with responsibility.

In Neskin Stars, instead of a next career step, you’ll make a whole new ladder. Join us to shoot for the stars together!

• Collaborate closely with game designers, artists, and developers to bring ideas to life

Nice to have:
