Mission Ionosphere - Web Game Experience
during my work @ demodern ↑
Dodge and Fly. Like Jump ‘n’ Run – but UP!
The WordPress community’s iconic mascot, Wapuu, gets a new stage. In Mission Ionosphere, we developed a web game that follows Wapuu’s journey through all five atmospheric layers. The game serves as an engaging incentive for the WordPress community while also functioning as a digital installation for trade shows and events.

My Role as UX Lead
• Level Design to create an intuitive and engaging player experience.
• Storytelling: Crafting the narrative structure for an immersive journey through all five atmospheric layers.
• Designing navigation and controls for a seamless and accessible web-game experience.
Results
Wapuu wants to go up – all the way to where the other Wapuus from around the world are waiting. The mascot starts on Earth and flies through five levels, ascending through the atmospheric layers into the ionosphere. The game follows a classic high-score principle: The top 100 players are immortalized in the ranking with their nickname and playtime.
Afterward, players can share their ranking link and challenge friends – all without registration or data collection.
The project successfully combines interactive storytelling with an engaging gaming experience. With its playful approach and strong visual appeal, Mission Ionosphere strengthens community engagement while serving as a standout attraction at events.
