What if your facial expression became your controller? 🎮
I created a shooting game that trains your facial muscles by using your own expressions as the controller.
- 😊 Smile to power up your shots
- 😮 Open your mouth to fire a laser
- ⚡ Real-time 2D x 3D integration with Rive + React + Three.js
- 🎶 Sound, light, and animation working in sync

- 📸Camera access is required.
- 🔈Best experienced on a smartphone with sound on.
This was my first time using Rive, and it was an amazing experience.
I was impressed by how powerful it is while still having such an...

Facial muscle training!
I shared it yesterday using the feature at the top of the Contra page, but just to be safe, here’s the X link as well.

This is a shameless re-submission, as I already submitted this whack-a-mole mini game for the Rive data binding challenge. But since this one is specifically about games I thought: 'what the heck, why not?'

No scripting in this one (yet).
Hopefully I can build something new for the next challenge :-]
Thanks for playing!
😄 character design and animation is solid, well executed
My @Rive racing game breakdown! 🚗💨
I thought I'd share a short breakdown exploring the systems and ideas behind the project so far!
Very cool breakdown 👌 Always interesting seeing how different people structure interaction systems in Rive.
We built this memory game with @Rive specifically for the youngest players🐼
The goal was to design something intuitive, soft, and non-overstimulating. No time pressure, just calm cause and effect.
Each animal reacts gently to success and failure. They follow the mouse and communicate entirely through motion. The scoring system is fully visual, using a growing progress bar instead of points, designed for pre-readers.
The board is randomized using data binding and scripting, creating dynamic card positions while keeping the interaction clear and consistent. A small game, made with care♥️
