This is adorable and amazing. Shoutout to the guy who did a similar thing years ago with Three.js and a little monster truck. If anyone remembers what I’m talking about please link it! Pops up here every now and again.
Some things I love:
- The content is hidden but every object is interactable with a cute message. This is a great way to make me want to keep “playing” without getting frustrated. Great principles of Consistency and Discoverability.
- The graphics are perfect, and fit well on a phone. Did you use AI or maybe buy this pixel art? Either way its minimalism adds an air of professionalism IMO.
- The messages are just adorable.
What I didn’t like:
- As others have said, needs a header for shortcut navigation. What if we’re sitting in an interview and I’m just trying to pull up your resume?
- Needs some indications right at the start showing what’s possible and which direction it lies in. I know I complemented the gamification/scavenger hunt aspect, but I think a little practical consideration for the less hacker-inclined would be nice. Maybe in-universe signs, or a short welcome message?
- the computer doesn’t really look like a computer. Where’s the chair??
- There’s a weird pause before it prints any links to the message block. A tiny blemish on a very satisfying UI
Long story short, well done! I’m sure this will kill on YouTube. Please share any ideas you had on the way to this so we can (politely) steal them!!
