Join independent studio Zut Games in creating the next mobile game in the award-winning I Love Hue series, beloved colour-based puzzle games with millions of downloads on iOS and Android. Known for their minimal, modernist aesthetic and meditative gameplay, the I Love Hue games have been praised as "playable works of art" that combine beautiful visuals with engaging colour perception puzzles.

We're seeking a talented UI Artist to help craft the visual interface for this next chapter in the series, maintaining the series' signature tranquil aesthetic while bringing fresh creative vision to the project.

The Role

As our Freelance UI Artist, you'll be responsible for designing and implementing all UI elements that enhance the player experience while maintaining the series' distinctive minimalist style. You'll work closely with our Creative Director and Unity Developer to create intuitive, visually harmonious interfaces that complement the colour-focused gameplay.

Essential Skills & Experience

• Proven track record working on mobile games (iOS/Android), with shipped titles preferred
• Exceptional ability to work with minimal aesthetics, showcasing restraint, elegance, and attention to detail
• Expert-level skills in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator) and other industry-standard design tools
• Understanding of UX principles and player-centered design
• Proficient in English, both written and spoken

Highly Desirable Skills

• Experience designing UI for puzzle games or casual mobile titles
• Experience implementing UI animations and transitions within Unity
• Knowledge of accessibility best practices in UI design

Deliverables

• High-quality UI mockups and prototypes
• Production-ready UI assets optimized for mobile platforms
• UI design documentation and style guides
• Iterative refinements based on feedback

What We're Looking For

We value artists who:

• Have a keen eye for visual balance and composition
• Can work independently while collaborating effectively with our remote team
• Are passionate about creating calm, meditative player experiences
• Understand that sometimes less is more—knowing when to refine rather than add
• Can balance artistic vision with technical constraints
• Communicate clearly about design decisions and welcome constructive feedback
