Problem: A lot of online spaces for children are unsafe, overly monetized, or built to be addictive. What happened to simple fun?

Solution: A chaotic multiplayer party game that brings back the feel of classic browser games, all without chat.

Based on the animated web-series Battle for Dream Island: draw your character, wreck your friends, repeat.

Behind the scenes is a fully server-authoritative system that controls movement, physics, and game state, along with accounts for saving player data and computer-vision moderation for reviewing skins

I manage an 100+ member Discord server with 30+ alpha testers, and the trailer was featured at OSCGamesCon this year.

I’ve always loved Just Shapes & Beats, and after its official level editor was cancelled, I decided to make one myself.

One of my biggest goals was making it as easy to use as possible. I took a lot of inspiration from Super Mario Maker: keep the interface simple, cut down on clutter, and let people start making things without needing to learn a complicated editor first.

I focused on progressive disclosure, hotkeys, clear visual feedback, and small quality-of-life details to make the editor feel smooth.

You can mix and match shapes, movement types, and modifiers instead of having to animate everything manually. Since the original game is built around music, the editor automatically snaps attacks to the song’s BPM.

For more control, there’s also a timeline with keyframes, tweening, easing, and object parenting.
