In this work, we describe our experiences with FunCopter, a casual game we have designed and implemented using Unity engine, suitable for portable devices. We emphasize some general principles, particularly with respect to rapid game development and constrained graphics. In addition to that, we present the main activities realized in each software engineering phase and the lessons we learned during its development. These descriptions include details from the initial concept to the fully realized, playable game. This work will share general but important experiences with Unity, particularly interesting for game developers in beginner's level.
