🛰️ I just shipped Remora for the Figma Config Makeathon "a space debris cleanup game", built entirely in Figma and Figma Make with help of Sites. PLAY NOW 💯 Remora - Let's Clean our Space 🚀

Right now, more than 27,000 pieces of debris are orbiting Earth. Broken satellites, lost bolts, leftover rocket stages and nobody's cleaning it up. It sounds distant, but it isn't: this debris threatens the satellites our GPS, communications, and weather systems depend on, and could eventually block our access to space entirely.

I named the project Remora; a small fish that swims alongside sharks, cleaning their surroundings. We're the remoras. Space is our ocean.

The Makeathon brief was "design something that improves the world," and I wanted my answer to be playable, not just a poster.

Some of what's under the hood:

🎮 Two game modes: a free-flying drone collector with zero-G physics and a station-based sorting game where you triage incoming debris into recycling shipments

🤖 Three AI-controlled drones compete alongside you on a live leaderboard, each with its own personality and skill level

✨ Particle bursts, thruster trails, and docking animations — built frame-by-frame on canvas, no game engine

🌍 An animated Earth companion that reacts with rotating messages as you play

📡 Satellites cross your flight path on real trajectories — hit one and you lose cargo and hull integrity

🔼 A milestone-based upgrade system (Speed Boost, Cargo+, Magnet Field, Shield) that triggers mid-flight without pausing the game

It won't clean the orbit. But if it makes one more person think about the mess we're leaving up there — it did its job.

Can we tag NASA here? 🧠

Brutalist architects exposed raw concrete because hiding it cost more. What's our excuse? We just like it:) A year ago, @Ansh Jamdagni and I built Loopin as a Framer template for a cassette brand that exists only as a thought experiment. We thought of making a nostalgic yet futuristic product website and neobrutalist design was our go for this dreamy product. We posted it on Contra expecting nothing in particular. A few months later, Other Health Ventures, a VC firm backing health and performance startups, got in touch. They were tired of looking like every other fund, had seen Loopin and wanted their site built with the same instincts less navy, more hard borders and Archivo Black. They've become one of our favourite clients since. A product designer later asked for her portfolio in the same language. No brief beyond "that, but for me." What we didn't clock until the third one: this style takes more decisions than minimal design, not fewer. Minimalism hides things. This doesn't. Every border, every oversized headline, every quiet corner is a choice that has to land on its own. Tools, for the curious: — Framer for all three — GPT for Loopin's product shots (not real cassette players unfortunately, several people have asked) — Mostly restraint, applied unevenly on purpose:) What's a design choice you've made that looks effortless but took the most thinking?

Nice work. The colors and elements are used in a good way.
