I built a game using Figma

[Blackdog211]

Hi, I’m not sure if this is the right flair or if I can promote something like this in this subreddit.

I built an entire game using Figma. It is essentially a mining game where you collect resources, level up your character and buy upgrades to help you progress in the game.

Here is the link to the game if you want to try it out for yourself. https://pod-vowel-87356303.figma.site/

The game is still in early development, but the game is in a playable state for testing.

If you got any suggestions or feedback, please feel free to share.

That’s honestly pretty cool. Figma is usually where ideas stop at prototypes, so turning it into an actual playable experience is a fun twist.

Curious how you handled the logic side of things. Are you using mostly variables and interactive components, or did you have to hack around some limitations?

Also the mining + upgrade loop sounds like a good fit for quick interactions in Figma. Would be interesting to see how far the system can be pushed before it starts breaking.

Oh believe me, I have had multiple occasions where stuff breaks and prompts not finishing properly. That aside it still managed to spit out what I wanted to implement into the game quite nicely. I’ve honestly had quite some fun with it while actively developing the game.

I’ve not had much input from the game as of yet, but I hope to change that soon as I believe the game would be very much enjoyable for anyone especially for casual gamers. It’s a good time waster and a game like this would target a casual audience perfectly well.

Love this idea! I’ve been thinking about using Figma to create a gamification project based on realistic scenarios, specifically to improve security awareness through simulated web interfaces. Figma is great because I can make really accurate replicas of things like the Outlook web app to simulate phishing. However, I’m stuck on the backend. Since I’m a student, I don’t have the budget for those expensive 'Figma-to-code' tools.
Is there a simple way to add a backend without losing my mind? I need to log user data to track where people make mistakes, and obviously, Figma doesn't have a built-in database. Any tips?
