Shiny Gen: AI Game Maker
Describe a game. Then play it.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Describe a game and the AI builds it, on six engines: Godot, GBA, GBC, N64, GameCube and DS. Dozens of original games to play while you think.
Shiny Gen turns a sentence into a game you can play.
Describe the game you want and the AI writes it, builds the world and hands you something playable in minutes. Then play it, change it with another sentence, and share it with a link. Between ideas, swipe through a feed of dozens of original games, every one playable instantly, right in the app.
MAKE
Tell the AI what you want. A fishing game on a misty lake. A tower defense with slimes. A platformer where gravity flips. It writes the code, builds the world and hands you something playable in minutes. Change anything with another sentence, or open the code and edit it yourself. No engine to learn, nothing to install.
SIX ENGINES, ONE PROMPT
Choose your engine when you start a game. Godot for a modern 2D or 3D game, or one of five retro engines we built ourselves: GBA and GBC for handheld era games, N64 and GameCube for classic console 3D, and DS for two-screen handheld games. You describe the game the same way on all six. A retro game compiles to a real file, a ROM, a GameCube .dol or a DS .nds, and on a paid plan you can export it and keep it.
CREATE THE ART
Generate sprites, characters and animation frames from a prompt. Generate 3D models from a prompt too. Compose music to match. Everything you make lands in your own library, ready to drop into any game.
REMIX
Every game in the feed can be remixed. Give Bramble Knight a new hero. Add a new fish to Harbor Lights. Your copy is yours to keep and share.
SHARE
Every game gets a link. Send it to a friend and they play it in the app or in any browser, no download and no account needed to play.
PLAY TOGETHER
Multiplayer is built in. If you make a game, adding multiplayer to it costs nothing. If you play, joining a room is free too: open a game that supports it, choose Play Online, and share the room code with your friends.
PLAY
Dozens of original games and scenes are waiting, cartridge games among them, and the feed keeps growing.
Shiny Monsters: team up with a young monster and win back the stolen Prism, on GBC, GBA or DS.
Shiny Kart: race eight critters for the cups of Puddlewick, on DS, GBA or N64.
Tiller: three seasons on a little farm, and the rent due at the end of each.
Tidepool: fish the shadows and search the pools the tide leaves behind.
Walk to the Castle: walk the old road in first person, torch in one hand and sword in the other.
Dragon Hatchery 64: warm dragon eggs with your lantern and watch them hatch.
Shiny Sword Adventure 2: take up Fenwick's old sword and free the three Wardens.
Shiny Crosser: hop across roads, rails and rivers that never stop coming.
Putt: nine holes of mini golf with rails, ramps, an island and a turning bar.
Tidelamp: light the grotto's seven glowstones and relight the cliff lamp.
Garden Keeper: harvest toadstools on two screens and ring the bell to scare off the munchers.
Plus Pond Patrol, Lantern Keep, Harbor Lights, The Stone Colossus, Blue Hour Ride, Shiny Pinball, Bramble Knight, Hexhaven, Bloom Beat, and quiet scenes like Feeder Cam and Rainlight City for when you just want to watch the world go by.
FREE TO PLAY
Playing is free, and so is multiplayer. AI generation uses gems: you get 50 when you sign up, and you can buy more or subscribe for a monthly allowance whenever you want to build more. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in your Apple ID settings.
Sign in with Apple, Google or X. Your games are saved to your account, so you can pick up where you left off on any device.
The app is available in English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Indonesian, Turkish, Polish, Vietnamese, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Traditional Chinese.
