The challenge
Hitting console-grade feel and frame rates in a browser, on any device, with no install.
The approach
An entity-component system drives the simulation, instanced rendering keeps draw calls low, and custom shaders handle the bloom and distortion.
The outcome
Hit the front page of a major dev community and crossed 50k plays in the first month.
What I did
- Built the ECS engine and rendering pipeline
- Authored all gameplay shaders and VFX
- Composed and wired the adaptive audio
