A racing game starring a sentient toaster in Spreadsheet
in Spreadsheet · 10.4 hrs
This game was inspired by the random idea generator but I actually like how it turned out. I love the subway surfers game so I chose that as the base idea of the game. The game is a single HTML file with 3 parts: HTML sets up the page, a fake formula bar, <canvas> for the game, a shop panel, and Race and Leaderboards tabs. CSS styles it like a spreadsheet and switches between light and dark mode. Javascript runs the game itself. A requestAnimationFrame loop calls an update() function that moves the obstacles, checks collisions, and adds score, then a draw() function that paints the toaster, the kitchen, and the Warden (storm clouds which is what a toaster is afraid of) onto the canvas each frame. Arrow keys, A/D, or taps change the toasters lane. The shop items change how a run plays, and localStorage saves your bank, best score, and shop stock between sessions. I used Apps Script and set it so that the game runs automatically on open. Hope you enjoy

A racing game set in a road in spreadsheets
in Spreadsheet · 10.2 hrs
My game is a racing game in Google Sheets where you race 4 computer cars. Click on the Racer menu at the top, open controls, then right arrow to drive and r to reset, with difficulty, boosts, oil, and car colors. It was definitely a challenge, I had no keyboard controls, so I built a sidebar, I used cells as pixels, cars disappeared and duplicated, and countless typos. But overall for my first time, I loved this and it's inspired me to go out and create even more projects.

A tetris in google sheets??
in Spreadsheet · 7.5 hrs
This is Tetris. A Russian game made in the 1990's. This game version is made on Google sheets where it is coded with HTML and JavaScript. The main problem is that when coding, is that the Appscripts Debugger constantly jumping in and changing some parts of the code. Got it working again so it works really smoothly. Please give feedback if there is anyproblems with the game

Water simulation in Spreadsheet
in Spreadsheet · 10.1 hrs
This is a sort of simulation of water. It's not super realistic, but I still think its fun. It basically sees which neighbors have less water + terrain height, and moves the water there and also keeps track of velocity in a very basic way. This velocity is also used to sort of carve channels that the water can go to as you can see in the simulation. To play, just click on "Simulation" on the top bar and open the sidebar. To add/remove terrain select a range of cells in the sheet itself and press the button in the sidebar. There is a water source at the top left and drain at bottom right.

Sudoku Game
in Spreadsheet · 6.9 hrs
If you know what Sudoku is, I need no introduction. But, its as simple as making sure no numbers repeat in any row, column, or in one of the six 2x3 boxes. It works through Google sheets built in formulas and the puzzle keeper keeps your puzzle from disappearing. The SOLVED and UNSOLVED changes colors depending on whether your solution is complete or not.

Orbital ! in Spreadsheet
in Spreadsheet · 16.3 hrs
What if Excel was a game engine? ORBITAL is my attempt at finding out. A satellite survival game built entirely in Excel VBA, with moving debris, lane switching, level progression and custom pixel art. No Unity, no Godot — just a spreadsheet that really wasn't meant for this. But Enable macro or else the game wont even load or star. Thanks for the opportunity "wrong by Hack Club" !

slither.xlsx - A Snake Engine in Google Sheets
in Spreadsheet · 2.2 hrs
Built a fully functional retro arcade Snake game completely inside Google Sheets using Apps Script for the Wrong Tool challenge! Google Sheets is objectively the worst place to build a game, but I tortured the grid anyway. To fix the lag and screen tearing, I implemented batch matrix rendering (pushing full 20x20 arrays via setValues()), forced render flushes with SpreadsheetApp.flush(), and zero-read state management using PropertiesService. Features packed in: - 20x20 pixel grid with 10 goated aesthetic themes (GameBoy, Cyberpunk, Matrix, Dracula, OLED, Synthwave, etc.) - Universal static power-up colors so items keep their iconic shades across every theme - 6 insane power-ups: Blue Pill (speed), Ghost Apple (5s tail phasing), Magnet Berry, Shield Rune, Shrink Tonic, and Diamond Gem (3x multiplier) - Custom obstacle maps (Classic, Box, Maze) - Arcade death flash animation (blinks white twice before wiping the board)
