Projects in LeibnitzProjects in Leibnitz๐ฐ๏ธ 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 ๐ฏ Remora - Let's Clean our Space (https://remora.figma.site/) ๐
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:
๐ฎ 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
๐ค Three AI-controlled drones compete alongside you on a live leaderboard, each with its own personality and skill level
โจ Particle bursts, thruster trails, and docking animations โ built frame-by-frame on canvas, no game engine
๐ An animated Earth companion that reacts with rotating messages as you play
๐ก Satellites cross your flight path on real trajectories โ hit one and you lose cargo and hull integrity
๐ผ 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 โ it did its job.
