the golden rule

Remix it — don't just copy it.

A recipe is a starting point, not the finish line. The real skill — and most of the fun — is changing it. Swap the star, flip a rule, invent a new goal. Every change teaches you to direct the AI a little sharper.

Change the star

Swap the fox for a dragon, a robot, or your own cat. New hero, same recipe.

Flip a rule

Make gravity low, give three lives instead of one, or let coins cost points.

Add a twist

A boss at the end, a night mode, a second player — one new idea at a time.

Whatever you make stays private in your own studio until a parent says yes to publish it to the Showcase — so you can remix freely, safely, no strangers involved.
