Features that reward play

Asymmetric Grids

Layouts that break monotony. Each card feels like a small stage; discover secrets by exploring nontraditional flows.

HUD Badges

Live metrics and event markers sit in a compact HUD so players can scan at a glance without losing immersion.

Masked Media Frames

Images and videos keep their silhouette. No awkward crops — just clear storytelling with diagonal seams and soft sheen.

How it works — play, iterate, ship

Creators submit builds. We spotlight a select set each week, add HUD analytics and micro-challenges, then rotate limited drops. Players opt-in for seasonal scenarios and can suggest changes directly from the HUD.

  1. Submit: Rapid prototypes via a lightweight kit.
  2. Polish: Visual framing and accessibility checks.
  3. Drop: Live play windows and curated rewards.
