š°ļø 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 šÆ Remora - Let's Clean our Space š
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:
š® 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
š¤ Three AI-controlled drones compete alongside you on a live leaderboard, each with its own personality and skill level
āØ Particle bursts, thruster trails, and docking animations ā built frame-by-frame on canvas, no game engine
š An animated Earth companion that reacts with rotating messages as you play
š” Satellites cross your flight path on real trajectories ā hit one and you lose cargo and hull integrity
š¼ 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 ā it did its job.
š Try it live: Remora - Let's Clean our Space

Can we tag NASA here? š§
ā¢ 8h
Hey Nikas, definitely we should tag NASA and ESA here. But I believe this situation will be mostly handled by 3rd party private companies at the end. Someone will come up with some idea to take the trash out without trouble (: lets see
For sure, but NASA has the money to hire the best third party teams and keep the ball rolling. šš

Ofcourse they have š
Hey Monic, thank you a lot.
Happy to see you like it, its a simple games but it gaves the idea, what is possible with in the Figma
This is cooooooooooooooooool
Thank you a lot Boluwatife, I'mm happy u like it
We're the remoras. Space is our ocean.' ā that framing alone sold me. Making a real problem playable is such a smart approach. Impressive build!

For my Figma Makeathon submission, I built The Postcard, a web app that transforms ordinary messages into personalized digital postcards.
Users can customize their postcard with fonts, colors, stamps, and photos, then instantly generate a unique link to share with friends and family. The goal was to make digital communication feel more expressive while keeping the experience simple and accessible.
Built using Figma Make, the project explores how customization and thoughtful interaction design can turn a basic message into something worth sharing.
āØ Personalize it. š Share it. š Deliver it.

The passive listening angle is a genuinely smart UX bet. Did you test whether users preferred scheduled loops or just on-demand playback?

REVVERA ā A Living Emotional Landscape
Most digital experiences are designed to help us complete tasks. They optimize for speed, efficiency, and outcomes.
REVVERA explores a different question:
Can a digital interaction create an emotional memory instead of simply accomplishing a goal?
REVVERA is an interactive emotional landscape where users move through a sequence of evolving states ā from curiosity and uncertainty to trust, belonging, formation, and integration. Throughout the journey, a responsive companion observes, adapts, and subtly reacts to the user's presence, creating a feeling of connection rather than instruction.
Instead of focusing on productivity, REVVERA focuses on atmosphere, emotion, and reflection. The experience is designed as a living system where movement, presence, sound, and interaction work together to shape the journey.
At the end of the experience, the landscape condenses into a personalized artifact ā a visual memory generated from the traces of the user's journey. The artifact acts as a keepsake, preserving a moment of interaction that can be saved, revisited, and remembered.
Built using Figma Make, REVVERA explores how digital experiences can move beyond utility and become spaces for emotional connection, memory, and meaning.
