This is crazy!
Codex made this prototype for me in Godot.
I have never worked in Godot before.
All the assets were made by Codex and added to Godot without me.
The sprite sheets were created from a reference made by ChatGPT.
Is it perfect? No, but considering I've spent an hour on it, I'd call it a success.
I love your use of color and composition here.
Actually, it looks very great.
An hour from zero to a working prototype with sprite sheets is wild. The fact that Codex handled the Godot setup without you knowing the engine is the real story here.

Hi Creatives around the world🚀
For the Config Makeathon, Introducing you "Short Break". It is a single/ multiplayer, 90s style arcade game with a touch of nostalgia and addictive fun!
Give it a try: https://tacit-terms-89629799.figma.site
To make this come alive, I followed these 4 steps:
1. Ideation & Defining Purpose
In every project I look within to find purpose and ideas. I have always played video games like Dangerous Dave, Snake, Circus, Contra, Pac-man, and more, and I loved each and every game.
I wanted to bring a part of my childhood alive, share the joy that I felt back then to everyone who loves and craves 90s arcade games and the fun of playing them 🙌
I wanted to build a 2D interactive game with multiple maps (Arenas) and Single/ multiplayer functionality to Forster a playful competitive spirit among the players.
2. Planning
After I wrote down the initial idea, I started sketching mazes, decided upon their names of the Game & Arenas, figured out the user flow, and defined the game rules, and mechanics of the game play.
When I felt then idea is refined enough and all things were mapped out, I moved to the next step.
3. Execution
For this step, I defined the prompt in as much detail as I could in the first go with all the colors, layouts, look & feel of the game, described the sound design that would go with this and started building the prototype.
Figma Make is so good to use, everything was so smooth and intuitive. Made this project a breeze!
From this stage on, I refined the game more, added more functionality, single player mode, background music, style of the monster, and more. Finally, I perfected the game and moved to the final step!
4. Launch
I am happy to publish and share the game with such a wonderful and warm community of creatives!
I absolutely loved the challenge as it pushed me to think of the tiniest details and relive the joy of my childhood again. Despite work projects, I was able to finish this personal project. Thank you to the Figma and Contra team for a challenge that made me build a part of our childhood memory🎉
If you liked playing my game, then a like or comment goes a long way. Thank you. Keep Creating 🙌
Fun
I built something for my mom.
We talk every day. But we've never made anything together. Not once.
So I built KINSHIP — a place where two people across any generation gap build a private visual language that only they share.
No typing. No reacting. Just drawing.
You arrive. Type your name. That's the door. A prompt surfaces — "the kitchen table" — and you both draw blind. Neither sees the other's version until both submit.
Then the screen goes dark. Both drawings develop slowly, like photographs in a darkroom. Hers. Mine. Same word. Different worlds.
Over time the archive grows. Every word you've ever drawn together. Your private dialect. Nobody else has this. Nobody else ever could.
We have six words now. And I know her better than years of conversation ever showed me. MAMA LOVED IT.
TRY IT : HERE
This isn't a design tool. It's a correspondence. A private language. Proof that you finally understand each other. It works for parents and kids, mentors and students, grandparents and grandchildren — any two people across a generation gap.
Built in @Figma Make with React, Supabase, and an old notebook aesthetic (cream paper, ink strokes, hand-drawn feel).
KINSHIP — a language only two people speak.
Love the design
Project Name: MODULO
Tagline: The Motion Synthesis Interface for Front-End Engineers.
Description:
MODULO is a high-fidelity, low-code interactive playground designed to bridge the gap between motion physics and production-ready code. Built with a stark Swiss editorial aesthetic, the system maps real-time UI physics—such as Synaptic Tension, Amplitude Scale, and Vector Frequency—directly into production-ready developer tokens.
By dropping any standard SVG vector asset into the engine, MODULO dynamically compiles the file's spatial parameters across four synchronized dev-output blocks: raw CSS custom properties, React state architectures, utility-first Tailwind strings, and fluid Framer Motion transition curves. It turns asset integration from a guessing game into a precise, mathematical science.
this is so useful!!
