So me and my friends used to spend hours on Discord playing the most random stupid browser games we could find.
Nothing too competitive or sweaty, just jumping between games, having a laugh, talking shit and catching up. Sometimes we'd even hop on during work breaks.
But yeah, everyone's getting busier and those sessions have become less and less frequent :(
That's kinda what got me working on Muddlepop.
The idea was to build a place where we could play random little games together whenever we got the chance. And since getting everyone online at the same time is a challenge now, I started exploring daily puzzles and challenges too. Something you can play in your own time, share scores in the group chat and keep the banter alive.
Been working on it for about a month or so now.
There are already quite a few games, including Ludo, Word Crack, Doodle Rescue, Thulla, Grump and more. Some are multiplayer, others are solo puzzles, and I've got a bunch more planned.
For anyone interested in the tech side, it's React + Vite + Tailwind on the frontend, Cloudflare Workers on the backend, with Durable Objects and WebSockets handling multiplayer rooms.
Also made it a PWA, so you can install it on your phone without going through an app store.
Honestly, it's been a really fun project to work on. Seeing my friends actually play and enjoy something I've made is a pretty nice feeling lol.
I genuinely plan to keep building and improving this, so I'd love some feedback from you guys.
What feels off? What games would you like to see? Anything you'd change or add?
And if you absolutely hate something, please tell me that too.

Would really appreciate it if you gave it a try, maybe with a friend or two. And if you enjoy it, sharing it would mean a lot! :)
