Little Xmas — Interactive Gift Experience

Personal projectJan 2025 — Present

A password-gated mini-game combining React UI, Phaser game engine, procedural generation, Web Speech API narration, and custom animations.

The Problem

I wanted to give someone a gift they'd enjoy — someone who likes tech and games. A regular present wasn't going to cut it.

What I Built

A password-gated mini-game: React handling the experience flow, Phaser running a platformer game engine, procedurally generated assets, Web Speech API narration, and a gift reveal finale with custom animations. Each level and transition designed to serve the story of delivering the gift.

The Result

That person loved it. And I had a lot of fun building it — especially polishing all the animations and transitions.
