As part of a collaboration between Infected Mushroom's 30th anniversary and Shenkar College, I developed "Hallucination Generation," an arcade game merging the band's iconic tracks with engaging gameplay. Working closely with Erez Eisen and Amit Duvdevani, I also designed the special anniversary album, offering fans a unique, immersive experience into the band's history.

I conducted extensive research into Infected Mushroom's three-decade musical evolution, selecting 12 representative tracks for a balanced mix from each era. Studying the band's history, themes, and visual styles shaped the game's aesthetics and mechanics. Additionally, I examined arcade game design and player engagement strategies to align the game with the band's vision and audience expectations.

The design reflects the band's heritage and the game's futuristic, cybernetic theme. I used a color palette of red and yellow to symbolize the transition from the 30th to the 40th anniversary, with green and purple representing the first and second decades. The "Hallucination Generation" logo features a custom font inspired by an arcade machine silhouette, merging nostalgia with modern design.
