Being a designer feels like a superpower. Build a prototype? Nope. A fully working app? Yes! Here’s what I made:
Leela is a 2,000-year-old Indian board game with 72 squares, one question, and one die. You roll to enter, move through named inner states, and write a reflection at each square.
Existing versions are either flat, digitised boards or feature-heavy wellness suites. I wanted to make a quieter one.
How I built it:
→ Flowstep MCP wired into Claude Code, Created Flowstep screens directly on canvas and implemented changes from the canvas and using Figma, Design MD file inside of Flowstep is a gem, helps to create cohesive design fast
→ Three complete design iterations before the visual language felt right: a night-sky version, a minimal one, and finally the aura direction that shipped.
→ A playable build deployed on Vercel with the real rules: roll a six to enter, three sixes burn, land exactly on square 68 to complete the game, and landing on square 72 sends you back to 51, music on/off, record or type settings.
→ An optional AI guide running behind a serverless function, so the API key never reaches the browser. The game is fully playable without it.

can't wait to try out this game, a 2000 year old game with 72 squares seems like a real challenge, I don't know but my mind is telling me "SUDOKU STRATEGY" 😂. I love also how many screens you have and the consistency that you respected.
You could try it here https://leelagame.vercel.app , the whole idea is not just ask bothering question, but get into the state where you are ready to get the answer, and there are 28+ screens.
nice
thank you!
Love this. The color palette is incredibly slick, and it proves a great product isn't just functional - it has a point of view.
Thank you so much!

What a brilliant concept behind this
Thank you! 😊
This is great work Helen. How did you find the experience of tweaking the Design file in Flowstep versus making direct edits in Figma?
Thank you Vara, I have tried be more specific with the prompts, but it didn`t worked as smooth as desired, so my "design change" often went into steps: generate another screen function, that I used as moodboard and tweaked in Figma. But colors and fonts were wired into design.md file, so changes mainly were in arrangement.
Amazing work!
This is such a great example of design going beyond the visuals and becoming a fully playable experience. The evolution through three visual directions is especially impressive—the final aura direction feels calm and intentional. 🔥

Really grateful for the trust, the collaboration, and the space to experiment. Not every mark becomes the final identity, but every one plays a part in getting there.
This is impressive! ✨✨
