Play the game.

Zapp is a feed of games anyone made by describing them. Swipe, tap, you're playing. Then say what you want to play next, and Zapp builds it in minutes.

How it works

From a sentence to the feed in three steps.

  1. 01

    Type a sentence

    Say what you want to play. Any genre, 2D or 3D. Add a sketch or a photo of your character if you like.

  2. 02

    Watch it build

    Zapp writes the code, makes the art, has a bot playtest it and fixes what breaks, then records a preview.

Creating

What if it was a game?

Puzzles, platformers, racers, shooters, tower defense, a board game for two. Describe it the way you'd tell a friend. Zapp picks a 2D or 3D builder for the idea, and you get a private, playable draft.

Your artUp to four images: characters, places, a sketch.
2D or 3DQuick and juicy, or worlds with cameras and light.
Plays on a phoneFixed sticks and buttons, made for thumbs, with haptics on every hit.

Studio and remix

Keep building. Or build on someone else's.

Every game has a Studio: chat to change it, drag its knobs, swap its art, roll back to any version.

Your game's Studio

Plays, likes, saves and remixes at a glance. Keep building in chat: say what should change and get a new version.

Tune it by hand

Starting moves, gravity, spawn rates: drag to taste. Saving makes a new version in seconds, no rebuild.

Tune: sliders for starting moves, cherries to collect and fall acceleration

Remix anything

“But underwater.” “Make it 3D.” Add your twist to a game you love; the remix is yours, credited to the original.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Anything else? Write to us.

What is Zapp?

A feed of short games, like a For You page where every post is playable. Swipe to the next one, tap Play and it starts in a moment. Every game on Zapp was made by someone typing what they wanted to play.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe the game in a sentence, add pictures if you like, and Zapp's builder writes the code, draws the art and playtests it. To change something, you say what should change.

How long does it take to make a game?

A few minutes for a playable draft. You can watch each step: writing the game, making the art, playtesting it and recording the preview for the feed.

Is it free?

Downloading Zapp and playing every game in the feed is free. Making and editing games uses credits, and the app shows what a build costs before you start it.

Who sees the games I make?

Only you, until you publish. Drafts stay private; a published game passes Zapp's checks before it appears in the feed, and you can take it out again any time.

Can I play with friends?

Yes. Some games are for two players on one phone, others open a room: friends join with a link or a five-letter code from their own phones. You can also send a beat-my-score link.

Is Zapp on Android or the web?

Zapp is an iPhone app. Links to games and creators open on any device, and straight in the app when you have it.
