In this virtual world, players explore a floating environment, collect pixels, and jump into a search engine themed word-matching game

In each short round, a new prompt appears. Players respond by sending a File from their inventory that best matches the prompt. Then, everyone votes on which one matches best, and a winner is declared.

This world is inspired by the nostalgia of early internet culture. I explored imagery from the early 2000s, pulling ideas from old operating systems, bold neon palettes, pastel UI kits, and lo-fi computer graphics. I wanted to recreate the feeling of being inside a massive retro computer system.
