"The HUD kits are compact and accessible. The badges and status bars saved us a full sprint of polish."
— Jorge Ramos, Product Designer

How it works

Pick a template, wire events to our scoring library, and preview live. Small iterations are encouraged: change one rule, run five tests, compare outcomes. We provide HUDs, metrics overlays, and exportable traces so teams iterate with evidence.
