FlexGrafik App — Canvas Engine MVP

Custom Canvas side-scroller engine live. Playwright E2E suite passing.

What happened

The FlexGrafik advergame reached MVP. A custom Canvas engine built in React — not a game framework, a purpose-built renderer for this specific lead magnet.

Key decisions:

  • No Phaser/Three.js — overhead not justified for a 2D side-scroller
  • Feature flags — all new features behind flags, prod never gets unstable code
  • Proxy to WordPress — game reads product data from WP API via Next.js proxy

Evidence

  • Playwright E2E: 12 test cases, all passing
  • Vitest unit tests: canvas rendering, collision detection, asset loading
  • Feature flags verified in production (3 flags active)

Next step

A/B test as lead magnet. Measure conversion vs. static landing.
