I built a collaborative pixel art town that folds itself into 3D. It's called Paper Town.
Here's how it works: you get a 16×16 pixel grid. Draw anything — a pattern, a face, your mood, whatever. Pick a building shape. Then watch your flat drawing fold up into a 3D isometric building, like paper rising off a table.
Your building lands on a shared town map. Zoom out and you'll see dozens of other people's pixel art sitting next to yours as buildings. A heart pattern cafe. A striped tower. Something completely unreadable that somehow works.
You can also frame any view as a postcard — your pixel art becomes the stamp in the corner.
