The image shows a cluster of luminous, transparent crystals with a play of light and sparkling particles at their base, all set against a dark background that highlights their radiance.

Hello, World of Gifts players! In the next version of the game, we’ll be introducing a crystal system that players can use to purchase powers.

For now, we’d like to know what you think about adding this in-game economy system that lets you fill your inventory.

Soft launch is live in:

🇨🇦 Canada
🇵🇭 Philippines

We're collecting first impressions from our earliest players — and we'd love to hear yours.

#IndieDevs&Games #Worldofgifts #buildinpublic

We focus on RPG-style progression.

Races aren't just races, they're missions. Points to clear. Milestones to hit. Every finished race gets you closer to something bigger.

You're not just running. You're building a journey.

#IndieDevs&Games #Worldofgifts #IndieDev #GameDev

Quick reminder: World of Gifts is free to play , no limits, no pay-to-win. Horizontal progression only. No player gets ahead just because of their wallet. 💚

Fair play is our priority.

Quick peek at the latest work + a glimpse of AR in action. Not diving into details yet, but wanted to share the progress.

Always love hearing your thoughts! 💬

#IndieDev #IndieDevs&Games #Worldofgifts #buildinpublic #Philippines #Canada

Would it fit better as a gem? A potion? Something else?

Feel free to throw in any ideas: sketches, names, colors, anything goes 🎨✨

We're still in early development, so your input can actually shape this.

What do you think? Do you like having characters that work against you in a race? Or do you prefer all surprises to be positive?

⚠️ When Apoira shows up, there's no escape.

She'll make you lose time — no shortcuts, no second chances. A true bearer of bad news.

Not every encounter in a race is meant to be helpful… and she's proof of that. 👀

#IndieDevs&Games #Worldofgifts #IndieGames #IndieDev

Apoira, a new character in World of Gifts — a green turtle with a light-colored shell, wearing a straw hat with a red ribbon and black sunglasses. She sits comfortably on a wooden beach chair with fabric, enjoying a sunny day at the beach. In her left front paw, she holds a scroll that reads: "GO BACK! YOU LOSE A CHECKPOINT." Next to her is an open blue and white striped beach umbrella. In the background: palm trees, a blue ocean, a small beach with a sandcastle and a red flag, and a colorful beach ball near the chair. Cartoonish art style with thick outlines, consistent with the game's visual identity.

🎭 Meet Apoira, our newest character coming to World of Gifts. In this game, you'll find things that help you win races… but also things that slow you down. Apoira belongs to the second group. 😅 #indieDev #GameDev #IndieDevs&Games #Worldofgifts

World of Gifts interface focusing on the bottom menu buttons. First button shows Gifti — a red gift box with a golden ribbon and an adorable cartoon expression — looking at a map through a treasure camera. Second button shows the same character holding a diamond. Third button features a cloth bag icon representing the inventory. Fourth button is a square icon with three horizontal lines for settings menu. The bottom menu is highlighted to show the limited space available on mobile.

🧩 We're running into a UI space issue — and we'd love your input.

Our bottom menu currently has 4 buttons:

1️⃣ Select Race
2️⃣ Won Races
3️⃣ Inventory
4️⃣ Settings

But on mobile, screen space is limited. We need to reduce buttons. Ideas? 👇

❓ Now we're curious…

What other powers do you think might exist in the game?

Speed boosts? Shields? Something that messes with other runners? 👀

Drop your wildest ideas below 👇✨

🔮 Gem power revealed!

When you find it, you unlock the ability to erase one checkpoint from your race. 💎

Choose wisely. Tip: check the distance indicator to see how close you are to the next checkpoint.

Use it right, and it could win you the race.

#IndieDevs&Games #IndieDev #Worldofgifts

Now, on top of route choices… we're introducing items with powers. 💎

The first one is a gem. It could change the outcome of a race… but we're not telling you how. Not yet.

Feeling brave? Guess what it does 👇✨

#IndieDevs&Games #Worldofgifts #IndieDev

For those who are new, here's a quick recap:

In World of Gifts, you run through your city guided only by a compass 🧭. Your goal: complete every checkpoint on the route.

Simple enough. But then things get interesting…

#IndieDevs&Games #Worldofgifts #IndieDev

A bright purple gem glowing inside a dark orb, with a trail of shimmering dust emanating from it and fading into the background. The gem looks mysterious and powerful, hinting at magical properties. The art style is cartoonish with thick outlines, matching the visual identity of World of Gifts.

Today's a special day: we're adding the very first item to the World of Gifts inventory. 🎒

But before we tell you what it does… we wanna ask: what do you think it'll be used for? Drop your theories below 👇

#IndieDevs&Games #Worldofgifts #IndieDev #GameDev

We've mentioned them before... but they deserved an official presentation.

Meet Giggle Boo & Ghosti — now part of World of Gifts. 🎭👻

Do you know what they're here for? 👀

Welcome to the family, little ones. 🎒👻

🎒 Quick question:

The bag now has 6 slots (2 rows of 3). Is that enough? Would you prefer a different layout like a scrollable list or grid?

We're prototyping, so your input actually matters! 👀😊
