I built a sleep aid disguised as a game. It's called driftshuffle.
I couldn't sleep the night a friend told me about this Makeathon, so I built the thing I needed at 3am, an auto-battler that's secretly a wind-down tool, built on cognitive shuffling (a published technique by Dr. Luc Beaudoin). The random calm creatures you watch are the actual science; they quiet a racing mind. No score, no winning, even losing (fallen asleep mid-game) is a winning.
On the build: I made it solo entirely in Figma Make, hand-tuning the code myself, the swarm logic, the fade timings, the deliberate slow-and-dim pacing. I tried Figma Weave too, but Make already gave me exactly the just-enough visual the app needed.

this is so peaceful - nice work!
I made a tiny multiplayer shooter inside @Figma Make. ⚔️
No accounts.
No downloads.
Just small avatars battling random strangers in real time.
It’s called Avatar Shooter.
You drop into a shared battlefield where everyone gets the same simple tools:
→ Move
→ Shield
→ Shoot
→ Try not to get knocked back to spawn 😅
The idea was simple:
Could a multiplayer game feel fun with almost no complexity?
Tiny players.
Minimal controls.
Unexpected chaos.
I wanted it to feel lightweight, playful, and instantly understandable — open the link and you're already in the game.

This came out really well 🔥 Great balance of creativity and execution. I’m usually into projects like this, so I had to take a closer look at what you’re building.
Proud to share my submission for the #configMakeathon 🦋
Design has one job — make people feel something before they think something.
For the #ConfigMakeathon, I built a complete digital campaign experience for Butterfly Conservation's "Britain's Favourite Butterfly" — taking a public vote and transforming it into something people actually want to be part of.
The challenge wasn't technical. It was human. How do you make someone genuinely care about a species they've never noticed? How do you turn conservation data into something personal? How do you design an experience that moves people from passive viewers to active participants?
The answer was architecture — three distinct experiences working as one:
🗳️ Results Explorer — A fully filterable species discovery system built around personality vibes, wing colours, and rarity. Not a leaderboard. A world worth exploring.
🧬 Personality Quiz — A matching experience that gives every user a butterfly identity rooted in real behavioural traits. Flashy. Feisty. Adventurous. Rare. When someone sees themselves in a species, the relationship changes entirely.
🌿 Conservation Narrative — A story-first approach to ecological data that earns its urgency rather than demanding it. The stakes land harder when you already have a favourite.
This is the kind of work I find most meaningful — where design isn't decoration, it's the strategy itself.
