Snackable Loops

Designs that fit five minutes or five hours. Each prototype favors rapid decisions, emergent tactics, and clear reward signals.

Social Labs

Co-op challenges and leaderboard theaters let friends test strategies and remix rules together in real time.

Adaptive Sound

Dynamic audio swells that react to play patterns—low latency, high character, and designed to avoid fatigue.

How it works

  1. Pick a lab: jump into a curated micro-game or mix rules in the sandbox.
  2. Compete or collaborate: short runs or team experiments with instant feedback.
  3. Iterate quickly: leaderboards and replay recording encourage rapid refinement.

HUD

Minimal chrome, big telemetry. See score chains, time pulses, and badge progress at a glance.

The experiment

We built a compact toolkit that makes it fast to prototype frictionless mechanics. Small teams ship new toys weekly; players respond with strategies that reshape priorities. The loop is intentionally short so choices matter.

Player notes

"Short runs, surprising depth. I keep discovering new tactics." — Mae, speedrunner
"Team jams reworked how we build puzzles; now we play and patch together." — Luis, designer
