Flint
A merge puzzle for in-between moments: stone and wood become tools, tools become artefacts – from the Stone Age to modern times. A playground for UI, motion and 3D.

The idea
Strike two stones, a spark appears.
On a fixed board you slide all pieces in one direction at once. Matching pieces merge into the next stage: stone becomes wedge, wedge becomes blade, blade and handle become a knife. At the end of the chain waits an artefact.
Artefacts are traded for blueprints, tribes learn new skills, and every age brings new pieces.

Why a game?
Games don’t forgive an unclear interface.
-
Readable in a split second
Every piece has to be recognisable instantly in a tiny space – shape, material and level at a glance.
-
Onboarding without text
The rules reveal themselves through play. Only what can’t be discovered is explained.
-
Rewards with finesse
Rare finds are celebrated, achievements collected, and every 14 days there’s a challenge for everyone – motivation without dark patterns.
-
3D as a signature
Pieces and artefacts are modelled and rendered by me – like the flint stone in the app icon.
